A program was charmingly announced by the hostess at 3 o'clock, consisting of short talks and discussions. The first number, by Mrs. Harvey D. Barrett, was a talk on literature from both a modern and antique view. She contrasted our taste for certain kinds of books in the forties to the present day said she felt that while many of our recent books are good, yet many may be criticised and dwelt upon the necessity for more conservative reading. It was a very scholarly presentation and was followed by a few splendid talks. Mrs. A. P. Conklin discussed music. She gave a very encouraging evidence of improvement both in the personal taste in the art of music in the past few years. She lifted the musical drama from the hilarious gallop to the classics and placed stress upon the necessity of higher culture of spirit, in order to appreciate the finer art in music. Her talk was full of inspiration and called for a hearty applause. The hostess dealt with the opera. Her thoughts demanded cleaner, higher grade, theaters, carrying with her sentiments the suggestion made at the recent assembly of Federated Clubs, that of local organization for the pur pose of selecting and having the best grade of amusements. She also suggested the organization of a music club in our city for the advancement, of our young people. Mrs. J. F. Mitchell gave a description of her visit, to Calalina Island, Ihe little piece of land upon which was erected the first wireless pole which stands as a monument to our fellow townsman,' General Albert L. New7. She also gave a vivid description of the glass bottom boat, and recited some pleasing incidents of the seal, and also of their fishing excursions. In fact, her experience proved a very interesting fish story. Mrs. Tyner visited with us in London. She stood with us on the royal carpet at Windsor, during the brief visit of the emperor and empress of Germany. She reheard with us two severe court proceedings in the Old Bailey in London, which convinced us that while the Americans are the smartest and most progressive people in the world, that old England can
