The Forum Club, Mrs. Fredericks,
president, presents some interesting
afternoons for March, not the least of
which will be the lecture of Henry
Payot upon "A World Shrine" with
stereopticon views. These talks of Mr.
Payots, so generously given to club
women, are Of inestimable value to the
untraVeled, and not to be unvalued by
those who have Travelled, since all peo-
pie who travel do not see.
