churches there is a Young Mems club
which meets once a week to talk,
smoke listen to papers read aloud by
a member or to take up any kind OF

where this club met was not particu-
larry genial in its surroundings, the
chief decoration being what every one
took to be an imitation mantelpieee
with a painted 6rebOard below It. It
happened not long ago that some one
brought F. Hopkinson Smiths new
book The Wood Fire in No. 8. to
