The name is adopted from the title of Wordsworth's poem, "We Are Seven," and the members are young girls who have been friends since childhood, and whose ages are within a single year. Regular meetings are held, at which the members devote the time to discussions of current topics, the latest novels, and to various forms of amusement.

Stapp. Mrs. Ella Hamilton-Durley is chairman of the program committee; the other members will be announced at the June meeting. The following "Don't" from "The Club Woman" are worth reproducing: Don't join a club juBt because there iB a vacancy. Don't join a club expecting to attend only when there is nothing else to do. Don't join a club until you have read and understand its constitution and by laws. Don't join a club expecting the officers to furnish all the fuel for the steam of enthusiasm and for the fire of energy. Don't take refuge in ignorance, and say, ''Oh, I know nothing of parliamen tary law, but this or that or the other ruling was all wrong." Don't imagine, if an officer, that you have any higher personal privilege, ex cept to work early and often. Don't imagine that every other sub ject on the program would have suited you better than the one the committee assigned to you. Don't imagine when you are on the affirmative side of a question that the negative member is assigned to oppose you for life; it's only for ten minutes. Don't imagine your number on the program is a movable feast, to receive attention any time by anybody. It ia dated and by the "noblesse" of club life is marked "not transferable." Don't imagine because corporations have no souls that clubs have no epis tolary etiquette. Prove that they have by answering letters, even at the point of prostration and pen paralysis. Don't, if difference comes, ''carry the war into Africa," from one club to an other. It, is a direct violation of the laws of neutrality, and a reckless waste of" ammunitionyas usually sufficient unto the club is the war thereof.

The Court of Common Justice, in which differences are arbitrated by law and reason, has succeeded to the duel as the approved method of settling individual controversies. We believe this fact to be a pledge that nations also may be brought to settle, under corresponding laws of justice and reason, sectional and international controversies. We pledge ourselves to give support to the princi ples enunciated in the conventions passed by the Conference of The Hague, to sustain the Court of International Arbitration, to endeavor to augment public respect for it, and to aid in so modifying conditions that the range of its influence and the application of its principles, in behalf of which it con vened, may be extended." of the Lincoln High school for the best paper on the Aquieition of the Louisiana Territory will be awarded at this meet ing.
