The CHAUTAUQUANs. Monday afternoon the
members of Seaside Chautauqua Circle held
pleasant meeting with Mrs. James F. McKeen.
The president was detained from the meeting
and Mrs. Mary Robertson, president of the
Alumni, called the meeting to order and led in
the opening exercises. The roll-call was re-
sponded to by quotations from Addison. May
LIST is one of the special c. L. S. c. Days, which
Chautauquans know as Addison Day. Mrs.
McKeen read sketch of Joseph Addison and
his work The lesson assigned was then dis
cussed and questions answered. The C. L. S.
{. book which is our study, "Mental Growth
and Control. proves especially instructive and
interesting to the Circle and leads to much
pleasant discussion. The lesson hour was fol-
lowed by program which included singing C.
L. S. C. songs. A quotation was given by Mrs.
Robertson entitled, "The Eternal Puzzle" who
also read some original verses. The date of
this meeting was Mr.. and Mrs. McKeen's an
niversary and the C. L. S. C.'s gave her post
card shower. The remaining time was devoted
to social pleasure, the hostess serving refresh
ments of cocoa, cake. waters and candies. The
meetings with Mrs. McKeen are always en-
joyable occasions and this May Day gathering
was one our Chautauquans will remember with
| pleasure.
