A very satisfactory meeting of the
literary circle was held on Friday
afternoon. 1t was decided that the
work should begin on January the
fourth at ten o'clock, and that for
many Saturday mornings until the
heat Of summer sets in, the members
Of the League shall have the advan-
tage of joining this study department
The first will be a course of readings
from Browning by Mrs. L. L. McCand-
less.
The second will be a course of lee
lures on Greek Literature by Mrs.
Grace Crockett.
The third will be a course of lee
lures. the subject of which are to be
selected later by Mrs. w. F. Frear.
The fourth will probably be a course
of lectures on travel by Mrs. Heapy.
Further than this the subjects and
leaders can not be given out at this
early date.
Visitors and some of our people
abroad have consented to address the
literary circle and time only is needed
to prove that this branch of the
Leagues activities will prove very sat
isfactory.
Mrs. Cunningham, Acting Governor
sister, is expected in Ho-
nolulu during the middle part of Janu-
airy. She will bring with her a very
imposing exhibition Of her Art jewelry
and also some work of the Arts and
Crafts.
Acting upon the request of several
of the Civic Federation, the
City improvement Circle are having
another design for the entrance to the
Mckinley park or pavilion made. The
suggested is strong, rough
stone. This material in the proper de-
sign will probably look and last well.
