 Summary of Year. 'Po sum up the events of the year we have had one reception, three evening meetings consisting of guest night and two musicales; one drama tic afternoon by club talent, three lec- | tures-on international topics, on edu- cational matters and on the drama and three afternoons contributed by members of the club-Travel sketches, the Christmas Celebration and Current Events.
 ''it Is difficult for women nowadays 10 find time for much reading, and for study Of present-day conditions. On this account the board of the Womans club decided upon a course of Current Event lectures to be given by Miss Mary Taylor Blauvelt of Hartford. This course of nine lec- lures has proved to be most helpful, and current events have been reviewed by Miss Blauyelt every fortnight throughout the season. The lectures have been full of information, plain statement of facts given without bias or partisanship. and covering a wide range of topics.
 "Without any desire to seem mer- cenary it may not be out of order to note that only three meetings of the club this year have been paid for out of the club treasury. The rest have been gifts to the club through the courtesy of some of it's members or have been contributed by club talent We are indebted to Mrs. Bassette for the opening reception, to Mrs. Justus Traut for the pianist for guest night to Mrs. Brooks for the delightful music and the talk on Christmas books given at her meeting in Decem' Der; to Mrs. Frank J.
