bers OF the Ladies Literary club and

paper on The Greek Drama" and
Miss Ethel Paul following with a most
enjoyable one on The Women of Greek
Tragedy" DR.. Paden reviewed the
works of Aeschylus, Euripides. Sopho-
cles and. taking each one of the best
known dramas. compared il in its study
of life and character with the best
dramas Of the present day. He showed
hew essentially different the characters
were, because of the fact that they were
types instead of individuals represent
ed as in the modern plays. He drew
Arom the whole lessons Of uplft and Of
Sr0wth- Many quotations interspersed
atlded to the value of the topic.
Miss Paul confined herself to a study
of the characters of Clytemnestra, Elec-
ira, Antigone and Medea mainly. and
her paper was fairly filled with keen
criticism and enlightening comment on
the characters presented. She held that
the Greek tragedies, immoral as they
are said to be- contain more of real
morality than the problem plays of the
modern stage.
