A splendid company of young women
gathered in the drawingroom last Mon
day evening for the regular meeting of
the Unity club. 1t was decided at this
meeting to change the name OF the club
to the Business Woman's club, that its
work might be more definitely known
to the public. Instead OF meeting each
week, as formerly. the meetings will be
held each alternate Monday evening, at
which an interesting lecture will be
given, which will be of special interest
to business women. Any business or
professional woman may be q member.
by joining the association. The special
feature of the meeting last Monday
evening was a reading, The Great Day
When Matilda Voted, by Miss Stella
Halsten, which was most appropriate
at this time because of the recent deci-
sion of our legislature giving franchise
to women. The reading was excellently
given and Miss Halsten responded to
an encore. Miss Spangler gave two
piano numbers. The next meeting will
be held on Feb. 1S.
The new choral class was organized
on Friday evening with a good attend
ance. Miss Knopp is an excellent lead
err and the girls are enthusiastic over
the work. The class will continue for
a term of ten weeks, and close with a
