Study Club.

Last Monday afternoon Mrs. Bris-
coe acted as hostess to the Ashland
Study Club for its closing session,
and through her delightful hospital
ity this meeting proved to be not only
the conclusion, but the climax as
well, of the entire year. Though no
formal program had been prepared,
this being understood to he a purely
social session, the subject of next
years course of study was brought
up for discussion and voted upon.
The resulting choice was for sociology
as main topic. with a literary side
line of recently published novels,
poems, operas and plays. AS befits
woman's club, its program on So
ciology will have a strong feminine
bias and will be largely devoted to
a consideration of woman's rapidly
changing place in the modern world,
her new economic and political inde-
pendence, and her widening oppor-
tunities for social service.
After the mental strain attendant
upon these momentous decisions, the
club membership was prepared 70
duly appreciate the delicious three
course luncheon which Mrs. Briscoe,
assisted by two az the high school
girls, served at daintily appointed
small tables Each table was deco
rated with a centerpiecc of spring
flowers, while the patriotic note was
struck by festoons of red, white and
blue ribbon connecting tiny candle
sticks, each with It's small red taper,
standing at the four corenrs. The
whole affair formed a charming con-
clusion to n happy year of club work,
and the club members fingered longer
than usual, regretful that this was
the last "get-together" Of the season.
