The interest of the theme with so many discoveries being· made daily, ad ded to the well-known fa'Ct that Dr. Willett is a fascinating speaker, is expected to bring a large attendance. The morning session will he de voted to sewing and social intercourse. At 12 o'clock Mrs. John S. ::\[ontgomery will lead the devotions.
