on "Women in Municipal Affairs"
was read bt Dr. Lankton. Mrs.
Peattie read a paper on "Our Responsibility
to the Poor," following it with the
reading of a bit of fiction which bore upon
the same subject, and or the reading of

has in it a highter cud than fact?"

A tea drinking followed, which was of a
most social and selightful nature. Miss
Nettie Colins, Miss Gene Kouaize and
Mrs. Frank Hailer presided at the tea
tables. The house and home committee, of
which Mrs. C. E. Squies is chairman, received
many congratulations for its completion
of the heavy tash of selecting rooms
and furnished for the clubs.
