Mrs. Davis. president of tine Music Study. and Mrs. Edward TT. Rice, president of the Treble Clef club. are collaborating in designs to make this the most successful and profitable year in the clubs history The Arion club will also work with the choruses from the two other organiza- tions so that in choral work their aims will be similar and the 7hree compose "a fine musical organization. The cho- rus of the Music Study is only a year old, but is in flourishing condition and includes in it's membership some pf the best voices in the city.
 Mrs. Davis and her programme com m,ttee have been at work throughout the summer devising the winter plans. Fro make the work of the club stand for the highest and best development
 
 Hound a matter of prime importance to secure the cooperation of the practical musicians and this has been accom- plished admirably; besides the regular membership list the associate members having greatly increased, and among 1hem a number of leading musicians among the men have added their names and agreed to assist in any way they can. Assisting with the arrangement of fhe programmes for the season were Miss Edgell Adams, Mrs. C. E. Bowman. Mrs. Laurens Block, Miss Sara Mallam Rnd Miss Emma Read Mitchell. All of those names stand for musical attain ment. and each is so familiar with gem ersl local conditions that the outline, part of which is subject to change, may be pursued with small fear of dimuni tioii in interest or effort.
 Recital Meetings
 The club will pursue it's original pur- pose in working toward musical edu- cation and development. The semi monthly meetings at Cable hall will be used for study and illustrative work in a most attractive fashion; one session used for study to alternate with recital meetings, each one of which will be in charge of some chosen local art 1st. Illustrative numbers may be pre- sented at the study meetings, as suits the will of the leader but the local artist recitals are to be left entirely to the will Of the artists who may as lsoclate with themselves accompanists pr pupils. but furnish to the club a concert programme.
