Reading Circle Meeting

Tuesday night the Reading Circle
held its regular meeting with Miss

guests responded to roll call with
interesting current events. Mrs.
F. W. Burke gave a very interest
ing lesson from book, Changing
America" chapter 8 and 8. Mrs.
Patrick gave the lesson in the In
dependent. At the close Of the
lesson Miss Sissons, in her usual
charming manner, informed tie
Circle she had something to say
which was to the effect that the
American Ambulance hospital of
Paris had sent an appeal to the
American people. The Ambulance
hospital, established in Paris in
1870, is a national institution sup
ported by the American people as a
token Of their love and sympathy
with France, in recognition of her
helpfulness and loyalty in revolu-
tionary times. Instead of serving
refreshments at this meeting Miss
Sissons stated she was giving a
check to the hospital in the name
of the American Reading Circle, ,"
living up to the name of the Circle.
The members and guests thanked
her and added a bit so that through
Miss Grace's kind thoughtfulness a
nurse or patient may be supported
at the hospital a few days, while
the A. R. C.'s, quite happy, en-
joyed coffee and doughnuts and
were glad to have been at the
