SECRETARY'S CONSPECTUS

The Pierian Chautauqua Circle held the
opening meeting, of its season on Septem-
Der 10Th, 1920, and disbanded May 9Th,
1921, for four months summer vaca
ton. Fifteen meetings have been held in the
schoolroom and two in the auditorium.
Attendance at opening meeting thirteen, at
closing meeting seventeen; average atten-
dance eighteen. During the season twenty
eight names have appeared on the roll call.
Discrepancies in these figures are due to
members leaving the institution, or being
dropped from the roll for other causes.
On the opening day an early assem-
blage of the last seasons members in good
standing, was held in the schoolroom and
was devoted entirely to the election of
officers and the formulating of plans for
the years work. Mr.. F. o. o., being re-
elected president, and his method of sub
dividing the Circle into six classes, desig-
mated by the letters A to F inclusive, hav-
ing worked out so satisfactorily the pre-
vious season, it was decided, by vote, to
re-organize along similar lines. The plan
included the assigning of six subjects for
each class to choose from in submitting
papers to be read before the Circle. A
retrospective view substantiates the wis
dom of adhering to assigned rather than
unrestricted topics and has been an eAec-
tual means to stimulate diligent research

PIERIAN CHAUTAUQUA CIRCLE

1t seems to me that, situated as we are
the meetings of the Circle should have a
very exhilarating effect upon us all. The
literary skill, as well as the profound study
of the topics of the day, as expressed in
the writing of the different papers has re-
vealed to me the fact that you have been
spurred on to put forth your best efforts
and in the discussions that have followed
the reading of the subjects, am sure we
have all been assisted in our efforts to
broaden the scope of our mental abilities.
Through unfortunate circumstances a
few names have been dropped from the
membership roll am sure they have all
been taught lesson. During the summer
speak a good word among the inmates
about the Chautauqua, be loyal to the Cir
Gle and show appreciation and respect for
the confidence the officials have given
you, let us take these three words as our
watchwords, Progress, Benevolence and
Concord
also desire to avail myself of this OPP
portunity to thank the Institutions officers
for the many favors they have granted me
on behalf of the Circle during the past
season. They have shown very marked
consideration and their assistance is great
ly appreciated.
l also want to extend my hearty thanks
to the Secretary and to the Critic of this
Circle for their services which they have
rendered in fair and impartial manner.
Before l close ] will offer to you all a
suggestion. When you leave this institu-
ton you stand at the crossroads from
which radate many paths. Some of these
paths are smooth, but like blind alleys,
lead nowhere. Others look rough and are
cluttered with obstacles but they may lead
to financial independence and happiness.
Any man can attain success if he has a
definite motto, so let this be your motto.
"There are no dregs in the cup of know
ledge, so dip your cup deep in the Pierian
spring and drink the clear crystal water
of human friendship and association" In
the words of the advertiser, "There's
reason" In conclusion, fellow members,
l thank you one and all for your cooper
alton and congratulate you on the splen-
did showing you have made and also for
taking advantage of the opportunities Of
fered you for improving yourselves and
helping others.
Respectfully submitted,
F. o. O., Pres.

MEETING OF MAY EIGHTH

The closing meeting of the season was
held in the schoolroom with seventeen
members in attendance, Vice Pres. c. A.
NJ, presiding.
Following roll call, and approval of
the minutes of the April oath meeting, all
books, lists and stationery belonging to the
Circle were collected and placed in the
cabinet, to await reorganization in the
fall, and lengthy literary program COM
menced. Pres. o. gave an annual review
of the seasons work, combined with
few sound suggestions for future welfare
and expressions of thanks for past
achievements and cooperation. His ad-
dress is given verbatim below. The secre-
tary briefly outlined a synopsis of the
years work as elaborated in report of the
seasons activities.
The day being Mothers Day, Mr.. L.
]. w. read paper on the subject, Gun
Outstanding Mother" We regret that the
early closing of the forms, prior to going
to press, precludes the publishing of this
opportune composition.
A paper, Modern Farming" was read
by Mr.. A. r. G. This paper, in spite of
Mr.. G's. acclaimed ignorance of agricul-
tural lore, treated the subject thoroughly
and will be read with profit and interest
when it appears in an early issue of THE
MIRROR.
"Cotton, Wool and Wheat" was the
title of paper read by Mr.. F. D. F.
This was Mr.. F's. first appearance before
the Circle, he being recently seated men,
Der. The earnest efforts, and diligent re-
search shown, in the preparation of this
paper predict rapid advancement along
literary lines.
A paper entitled, "Furs and the Mar
ket" was read by Mr.. E. w. L. in his
customary erudite phraseology. Statistics
on furs trapers, traders and fur markets
became an interesting story under his able
guidance.
Vice Pres. M. gave an extempore re-
cital on subjects appertaining to the Cir
cle's and members welfare and was fol-
lowed by few remarks from Messrs. G.,
O., McC., w. and G.
BY a unanimous vote Deputy Warden
L. F. Utecht was elected an honorary
member of the Circle. A pleasing feature
of the days program was an earnest talk
given by Deputy Utecht in which he af
frmed his interest in the Circle and ex-
pressed his hopes for an even greater sue
cess the coming season. In speaking of
membership he called attention to the fact
that Chautauqua members were expected
to so conduct themselves that the officials
would have no cause for regrets over mis-
placed condolences, adding that the rules
of the institution were such that there was
no excuse for member being degraded
and bringing stigma against the organ
ization. The wisdom of his words was
apparent to those possessing normal minds
and properly attuned ears.
A song, responded to by an encore, was
sung by Mr.. w. J. Nice. as parting
musical feature, after which Mr.. B. L. B.
gave an able critics report of the session
and adjournment until September was re-
clared.

REVIVAL Of OLD-TINE
FASHIONS MAY BRING
BACK ROMANTIC ERA
Creatures Who Tainted as
Easily and as Gracefully as
They Flirted May Return.
BY MARGERY REX
(Written for international News
Service.)


NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Will our
new romantic styles in clothes bring
| back an era of romance?
win the revival of hoopskirts. lace
scarves, tiny fans and garlanded Golf
fures cause to live again the delicate
creatures who tainted as easily and as
! gracefully as they flirted? And do
! their garments really affect the char
! acters of women?
Sudden changes in demeanor are
seen in the drab little girl who sud-
| denly gets a new dress. She Is trans
formed. So is the middle aged hither-
to uncared for woman whose husband
may unexpectedly gain wealth. Her
new raiment makes new woman out
of her oftentimes.
Miss Ethel Traphagen, expert on
dress design, confirms the legend that
clothes make the man or woman. At
her studio ON Poplar street, Brooklyn
she displayed number of drawings
of styles of the past and told me some
of her own theories on dress.
Miss Traphagcn's Conclusions
Undoubtedly wearing clothes hark-
ing back to times of romance will
make women take on the charecteris-
tics of those periods Miss Trap
hagen says.
Il ,f hn-
liefs is that we so through one incar-
nation after another, and that when
we long for the trappings of some one
era we are going back to those days
through which we passed and which
we loved
"In a certain mood a woman puts
on a garment to express that feeling.
Again, when she puts on the dress of a
bygone century she assumes thereby
the qualities of yagaries of the time.
"In the different stages of develop
ment in our lives we are subject to
different moods in which we revert to |
former experiences. If II woman puts |
ON Muyen Age costume she Is apt |
to feel as the woman of those Middle !
Ages did.
THE fact of women taking to the |
bouffant skirts and rosebud garland
cd coiffures shows II positive leaning
back to the days of romance. In the |
thirtes and in the sixties there was a
romantic spirit, but there was also
Hypocrisy. Those crimoline girls |
looked very sweet and demure, but |
they were not always SO ingenious as

IRISH PEACE
ULSTER DEFEAT

Belfast, Dec 6.-Official circles to-
day showed disposition to reserve
comment on the reported Irish agree
ment until the terms became known.
Political leaders were said to regard
amy compromise between British and
Sim Fein authorities as defeat for
Ulster. The views of the parties for
peace negotiations are SO irreconcil-
liable it is difficult to imagine that
what will appeal to the Sim Fein
will be regarded favorably by Ulster
Ulster.
The question asked in Belfast is,
Where do We come in? Particular sig
nificance is attached to the statement
that the agreement is to be en-
bodied in bills to be submitted to the
British parliament,
