After the reports were heard the
most important discussion of the
evening came up. that of deciding
when the future meetings of the club
should be held. Heretofore the meet
ings have been held on the first and
third Wednesdays of every month,
but due to the fact that the Y. M. G.
A. is now open to the women and
girls of the city every Wednesday
night it vas necessary to change the
time of meeting. In the future the
meetings will be held on the first and
third Mondays of every month as this
night seemed best suited to the
majority of the girls. A reading club
was also formed last night and many
of the girls signed up for this al
the close of the meeting. The door
keeper, Miss Rose Sacarny, requested
the girls to use the side doors al
future meetings. If the weather is
clear, otherwise the front doors may
be used.

spring talk on the work that the
Y. w. G. A. and it's various branches
are doing all over the world. The
work is not merely in the United
States as might be supposed but is
!. being carried on in France. Poland,
China, Japan and many other
countries in Europe. Miss Topping
told of the different methods used
in these different countries and the
great amount of trained workers
that the Y. w. G. A. requires. Her
talk was most interesting to the gicls
and she concluded 1t by inviting all
the girls to come and see the national
headquarters of the organization in
New York City.
Walter II. War;, secretary Of the
local Y. M. c. A., also addressed the
club at last nights meeting. He stated
