ing the roll which was responded to
by quotations from 1.-THE Merchant of

interesting account of the previous

The club has been devoting much
time to the study of Shakespeare. and
W tn the last meeting began the study
of 1.-The Merchant Of Venice" Mrs.
K. l.. Burns opened Fridays program
with an able and interesting paper
On Shylock, advancing the idea that
much sympathy should be felt for
the Jew when Christians take the
prop that doth sustain his house and
the means whereby he lives and that
Portia lacked the quality of mercy
that she was trying TO teach the
Jewish money-lender.
Following Mrs. Burns was an ad-
mirable paper on Portia by Mrs. w. +.
Jones, who characterized the heroine
of the play the noblest of Shakes
pears women, and most graphically
portrayed her eloquent and pathetic
appeal to Shylock to render mercy
unto the unfortunate merchant.
After the literary feature a beau
tiful course luncheon was served. AS
sisting in the dining room were Misses
Anna McIver, Mary Worthy and Fran
ces McNie.. The color scheme was
