A most in teresting meeting was enjoyed by those present. An article on “Books and Read ing,” by Mrs. Hauers, was both in teresting and instructive bringing out the difference between instructive reading and the time killing sort. The mind must be fed on good litera ture that stimulates thought, just as the body needs the right food! to in sure growth. The mind is never at a stand still, it is either progressing or deteriorating. A book review, “Vanity Fair,” by Thackery, was given by Mrs. R. E. Gallagher and will long stand out in the annals of club life as one of the high lights of literary achievement. Mrs. Gallagher is a gifted narrator and brought this story, nearly one hundred years old, before us with such zest and interest that her hear ers sat spell bound for one hour. Beckey Sharp, Joe Sedley, George Osborn and many others became real flesh and blood creations and our only regret was that we did not have time to discuss them. Reporter.
