Monday afternoon It follows: i Tt was indeed . happy thought on | the part of Mrs. Stone president of 1 the Musicians club to continue the ! Christmas spirit in the musical pro- i gram offered by this organization on i Monday afternoon. It was the regu- ! lar monthly meeting being also the i yearly open meeting to which the | public was invited, but the regular study program was moved forward l on the calendar and the Christmas music substituted.
