One of his best stories is about a
party at Wahnfried at which Prau
Aiualic Materna was present. Fran
Matcrna was the ideal Brunhihda of
her time and regarded Wagner with a

her in his salon on this occasion she

meetings are well attended, and are fu'l
of interesting and live discussion upon
topics of interest to this day and genera-

clubs all over the country have begun to
take up practical subjects in the meet

doing Eomething, and mora of the real
doing. American history, the study of
ShakesDsre. the investigation of mob-

At the last meeting of the Child Study
department the subject of growth was
diecuES3d, especially growth in its re-
lationsto health and mental capacity.
Mrs. Berge.Miss Vinnie Beach and Miss
Robbins had papers which it is much
wished every mother with school child-
ren had heard. Not only did they show
careful study, but toe individual ex
perience and thought presented, made
them valuable and interesting and they
provoked a discussion full ot suggestion.
Busy mothers who cannot find time to
etudy these important subjects, will find
the work done here so very protitable
and there shoulc be mothers toco-
operate with the teachers to get full val-
ue out of the work. Mrs. Wolfe's paper
