INTRODUCING THE YAK.
Dear Roy-A few weeks ago you
stated that you were thinking Of
adopting a buffalo. Last Sunday /
visited the zoo and saw a collection
Of yak which an obliging sign told me
are thoroughly domesticated in Tibet.
At once thought Of you! With
what envy would you stir the hearts
of your neighboring poodletuggers!
And while the yak weighs a pound or
two less than the buffalo. think this
slight shortcoming might be overlook
ed when counting the joy brought
through yak's services as teawagon
trundler and similar domestic duties
of the daintier class. 1t might be that
Mr.. Yak could be taught to -yawn just
as the dishes were ready for drying.

bers present. The program for the

The scene is laid in New York
and is a story of New York society
in it's age of innocence, the eighteen

a newer day comes to it in Ellen,
Countess Olenska AN American girl,
who has fled under circumstances of
a comprising nature from her brutal
husband in Poland. Through family
connections she succeeds in re-enter-
ing formal, meticulous and disapprov-
ing New York society, hoping there
to forget her past; but discomfort
born of artistic, freedom-loving com
tinental life disturbs her. Also there
is Newland Archer, whose tastes
lend him toward Ellen, but whose
living is firm-rooted in crampedo New
York society, and Who is engaged to
lovely May Welland. Is Ellen justified
in seeking a divorce? is the main
problem in the book. The descrip-
tions in the book are very fine. After
discussion the club adjourned to
meet in two weeks.

She said in part:
"There are not many people in the

who need an introduction to the au-
thor of 'Huckleberry Finn or Tom

known as a humorist and in fact we
are a little inclined to regard him
altogether as such ignoring the var
iety and versatility Of the rest Of his
writings. True, as spinner of hui
morous yarns, he is uneQualled at the
present day, but we must not lose
sight of the fact that back of his
drawing humor is swift. keen in
sight into humanity, coupled with a
depth of wisdom that is evidenced and
bought out in his more serious works,
such as his translation of The Life
of Joan of Arc and his "Innocents
Abroad
Mrs. Frazier also read several very
entertaining chapters from Mark
Twain's Tom Sawyer, after which
the club adjourned until Dec. 2Sth-
