The short program was opened by a piano solo, "Annie Laurie." with varia tions by Willie Pape, from Miss Maude Kisser. The paper ot the afternoon was eiven by Miss Annie L. Miller of tho Century Club, and recorded her personal reco'lectio bo' London. A waltz song, L'Arditp, clo-ed the prcgrs.ni. As a quorum of last yoar's delegates were not present, no business could be transacted, and the meeting adjourned till Monday, December Cth, at l-JJOp.m., preceding tbo regular meeting of tho Woman's Club that day. It 3 hoped that all the delegates (those serving last year, as well as those newly elected.) will make an effort to be present at that time. If any club is in favor of a change in the methods or con stutitution of the federation, and no club seems entirely satisfied the matter can be brought up at this meeting. It, s;cms highly probable that the federa tion, if retained at al, will only b a union of clul3 for official business, and no club will be pledged to uphold the beginning.
