sion for the afternoon, This we II
k Town drama proved to be most
interesting study. Responses to

expressed and showed a compre-
hensive study of the drama on the
p art OF the club members.
Mrs. Bayliss Williams read a
splendid magazine article on the

Mrs, B. L. Martins paper, sub
ject THE National Backgrounds,
as expressed in the Four Horse

Mrs. Lyman Paden was leader of
the discussion.
The Club members agreed that
