Address BY A. r.. Stone Before The
Union Club-Many Social Notes
Standardized Between Per-
sOnaI Affairs

afternoon, in Cable hall. At the ex-
ecutive board meeting, several mat
ters of business were discussed, and
one new member admitted, Mrs.
Frank Stone. The meeting was in
charge of the travel, now changed
to current events, department of
which Mrs. John 3. Chase is chair
man. Several good musical selec-
tiOns were given, a chorus by the
music circle, and solos by Miss Laura
Buell. and Mrs. l.. It. Huntley- The
nominating committee appointed by
the president was as follows: Mrs.
E. L. Wells, Mrs. Edgar Brown, Mrs.
Everett Ruggles, Mrs. George Ide,
Mrs. John Ahern, Mrs. J. w. Tit
comb, Mrs. G. M. Darling. The speak
er of the afternoon was Arthur F.
Stone of ST. Johnsbury, we'll and
favorably known here. 1t was most
unfortunate that Mrs. Stone, who had
planned to come with him, fell on
the way to the station and broke her
wrist, thus changing their plans
most unhappily. The club felt great
sympathy for Mr.. and Mrs. Stone
and appreciation of his courtesy in
fulfilling the engagement under such
circumstances. His talk was on
Current Events and was just as
light, interesting and witty as we are
accustomed to expect from him.
Touching on some recent develop
ments in Vermont, political and in
dustrial, he went on to speak more
particularly in regard to our foreign
relations, taking up the diplomatic
and consular departments, and our
relations with separate countries. 1t
is safe to say his listeners not only
enjoyed his talk, but felt that they
received new light on great many
of the subjects now under public dis
cussion. At the close of the meet
ing, afternoon tea was served by the
social committee, and a few minu-
ties spent in social chat.
The. ladies of the Universalist So
ciety served one of their delicious
suppers on Friday afternoon last.

The ball given on st. Patrick's
Eve. the sixth and last of the series
which the Village Improvement Soci-
