 The question of changing the day of the week for the General meetings for next year was fully discussed with the result that the second Tuesday of each month received a majority of votes. This brings all the meetings of departments and general club upon Tuesday; the Music department will meet first and third Tuesdays, the Home Economies on the fourth Tues day, thus leaving the second free for business of the General Club. -...
 The place of meeting for next year was laid upon the table for by Sep tember the ladies hope to have the choice of several desirable places.
 Through stress of unforeseen events crowding upon us since the invitation to the Williams Club to be our guests in May, the club voted to postpone its coming until a later date.
 No more matters of business to be disposed of, the meeting was placed in charge of Mrs. Adams, chairman of Home Economies who introduced Miss Ryan as one who would have some interesting facts concerning "The Planning of Meals"
 Miss Ryan speaks from experience for her work in this line has been varied and includes facts gathered from diversified fields ranging from Seattle to the Philippines. We'll bal anced meals, nutritious ones and food most wholesome for children were only touched upon and were the source of much information to the club. Miss Ryan graciously extended an invita-. ton to the club to visit her depart ment at the Normal in the early fall and while no action was taken, it is an assured fact that the club will show it's appreciation by accepting and attending in body. 4
