AGED WOMAN HURLED
TO DEATH OFF BRIDGE
WOMAN CLUB
CLOSES SEASON
Delightful Meeting by Litsra-
ture and Art Departments

Once more the outside public, in
Guiding mere man, has had the op-
portunity to enjoy some of the good
things the members of the Woman's
Club enjoy at every meeting. Last
night marked the close of the year
for the club, excepting for the club
breakfast to be held shortly and at
which only club members can attend,
and as on the two preceding years,
the members were privileged to bring
guests. The privilege, however, was
entirely with those favored ones who
were fortunate enough to be invited
for 1t was, indeed, a rare treat to be
present on such an occasion.
The meeting last night, which was
held in the Presbyterian chapel, was
in charge of the literature and art
departments of the club. Mrs. Stuart
r. Audsley, the newly elected presi-
dent, presided for the first time and
a round of applause by the members
greeted her as she called the meeting
to order. Her calm repose and state
ly manner of conducting the brief
business session won the admiration
as to the future success of the organ
ization through the change In admin
istration.
After approving the minutes of the
previous meeting the evening was
placed in the hands of the depart
ments that had prepared the pro-
gram. One end of the chapel had
been curtained off and in the center
was large cover OF magazine.
This was the feature of the evening
Various members had contributed
articles to the magazine and the art
department had illustrated the arti-
cles by means of tableauX, arranged
by Mrs. ]. Woodley Gosling, chair
man OF the art department. Mrs.
Gosling has such well known repu-
tatiou in this work that comment is
unnecessary. Suffice is to say that
the pictures last night attracted the
usual admiration and displayed to a
high degree the unusual talent of
this remarkable woman.
The magazine articles We're read
by Mrs. Edward A. Tunis, chairman
of the Literature Department. Her
reading was very pleasing and the
expressions and changing tones dis
played much talent and elected the
most favorable comment.
The magazine articles were of q
could have brought out the great
members to better advantage.
There were poems, essays and fiction,
acoustics, tingles and jests. There
was also a club song. the words OF
which were written and the music
composed by members. 1t received
much applause when sung by one of
the members last night.
The illustrations were decided
feature Of the evening Mrs. Gosling
had taken the stories written for the
magazine and instead of drawing a
picture to be placed on a printed
page, she posed the living figures,
using members and their children as
subjects. The posing was behind the
huge magazine cover In front OF the
audience. At the proper time the
cover would swing open and an IL
lustration Of the story being read
would be shown. 1t was like putting
living figures into a story book. The
realistic effect was marvellous and
the tableaux well merited the enthu-
siastic applause that they received.
The entire program was well in
keeping with the high standard that
the club has established for these
occasions. Later refresh ments were
served and an hour or two were
spent socially.
