 The Troy Chapter. U. D. C.. held its regular monthly meeting in the Library of the City School building Tuesday, October 3. al 4 o'clock. The President. Mrs. F. S. Wood. called the meeting to order and the minutes of the last meet ing were read by Mrs. Alfred, Secre- tary. Owing to the indictment weather, scarcely more than quorum was in attendance and little business was transacted other than a discussion of a number of topics bearing upon the work in hand for the winter. It was decided that the interest in historical work of the Chapter would be enhanced by holding a separate meeting each month for the program. Mrs. V. D. Jones thereupon invited the Chapter to meet with her Tuesday two weeks for an afternoon of literary and social en- tertainment. Miss Leila Williams was appointed to draft the program,
