YEAR BOOK OF THE
LADIES' LITERARY CLUB

! The year book of the Ladies' Liter
| ary club for 1867 is now compiled
and published and will soon be dis
tr1buted among the members. The
cover of the book is of mottled grey
in color, decorated with the usual con-
ventional red carnation which is the
club color and flower. The programs,
J both in the regular meetings and for
| the three . departments read attrac-
lively and will undoubtedly prove in
teresting and instructive study.
