Readirn Club held its meeting
this week, but all who did venture
out in the storm felt more than
repaid by the interesting program
that was given, and the delightful
social time, with Mrs. farrell as
hostess.
Mrs. Koch was appointed sec.
rotary pro tenn, in the absence OF
the secretary, Mrs. Conwell, and
those who responded to roll CALL

Goldenberg, Kinds, farrell, koch'
Perlstein and Street.
The lesson review continued the
history of Rome, and Mrs. Chen.
auit gave a vivid description oil
the worlds largest church, ST.
Peters at Rome, and OF the
Vatican, the home OF the Pope.
The story OF Aeneas, the mythical
founder OF Rome, was presented
by Mrs. Perlstein.
At the close OF the lesson, and
after the announcement and dis
cussion of the program for next
week, the hostess served a tempt
ing chicken salad course and col
fee; and when the ladies at las
dispersed, it was to meet on the
regular day, October as, viii
