Because of the stormy night there
were ouly few members present at the
regular meeting of the Woman's Club
Monday evening. Those who attended
were repaid for their efforts by the ex-

subject, but he was unable to come on
account of illness and the committee in
charge of the program were fortunate in
securing so able a substitute. After
brief review of the earlier history of the
novel, Mr.. Fisher discussed the work of
Wells. Bennett, Galsworthy. and Con-
rad whom he considered the best of the
present day novelists, speaking in an in
teresting manner of their personalities,
methods of work and literary character
istics.
