 Report of Secretary
 The report of the secretary, Mrs Johnston, follows:
 "The Woman's Club of New Brit ain has completed it's 54th season We shall remember this year because it is the first in which he have met in the Masonic Temple. It has been a joy to be able to hold all of our meetings in the same place through out the year. An increased atten1- ance has been the result.
 Another featurs, which marks this year is the fact that the program has been carried through as orisi- nally planned, without single mis. hap or change, even though our ar lists and speakers have come from as far away as London and Paris.
 'The executive board has heI six meetings at the home of the president. Mrs. Buell. B. Bassettc and one at the Masonic Temple, where the program and general business of the club has been considered Consequently, the club embers have enjoyed a series of 2 interest ing meetings.
 The season opened on the if teenth of October with a luncheon served to 300 club members, and ii is closing today in similar man ner. The annual open meeting, this year in charge of the civic commit tee, was the Christmas tea, at which Mir. Klingberg and the children ot the Children's Home were guests oi honor. The social committee, aided by the hospitality committee, have bent all their efforts upon these three occasions, a departure this year from the customary reception teas which formerly followed alternafe regular meetings.
 The guest night in February was an outstanding event, with Maurice Marechal. voloncellist, and Ethel Leuning, soprano. This was the only musical event of the year.
 There have been two meetings devoted to drama, that is, if Mrs Hugh D. Buffers Experiences ir Being Presented at Court" may pe characterized as such. Surely her graphic word pictures of the gay court scenes made it seem as though the stage was all set there before IFS with the actors all playing their parts. The other dramatic event was the lecture-recital about "Wom. end Friends in Shakespeare's Plays presented so ably by Mrs. Forbes Robertson Hale and her daughter
