Yesterday afternoon the American

meeting at the home of Mrs. William

which was attended by a very pleas
ing number of the ladies. The topic
of the afternoon was "Art in the
Home" and Mrs. James Doyle was the
leader of the afternoon on this very
interesting subject

arranged
array of discussion of art and it?

the injustice of the prohibition en
