In the brief business meeting which followed, the president of the club, Mrs. Carl Zeiss, lightly outlined the policy of the club for the ensuing year and explained that it was intended to | help women in their bewildering task | of home organization so that church, home, and state might all receive their just share of attention and service. In brief, it is to be a "back to the home" winter, and toward that program a number. of contributing courses have been planned. The art and literature and educa- tional committees are offering a series of six lectures beginning October 17, (in the Year book the date given was October 10, but it was found necessary to postpone that first lecture one week), on "The Art and Science of Home Making," which promises to be most enlightening. In midwinter they will sponsor a book discussion class and with the advent of spring there will be talks on "Home Gardens." All of these will be free to club members and are offered to non-members at a very nominal fee per lecture. For those interested in child educa- tion there will be a most valuable course of lectures by Miss FEthel Kawin. The courts committee, which becomes increasingly more important as a factor in our civic intelligence, also promises valuable contributions. Upon the close of the very limited business meeting, Mrs. Zeiss re- linguished her position to Mrs. E. V. L.. Brown, the chairman of the art and literature department, and the re- mainder of the afternoon was spent in rapt attention to the delightful pro- gram offered by 'Miss Jessie Harding, a reader of rare merit who until she recently established her own studio, was associated with the Anna Morgan school.

Miss Harding first read, "The Ship," a gripping drama in three acts by Sir John Ervine, which deals with the question of whether a son should choose his own life or follow in the footsteps of his father. The subject was of vital interest to all and Miss Harding's portrayal of the various characters was most convincing. There is a tragic atmosphere to "The Ship," and appreciating the mood in- to which she had thrust her audience in the first half of her program, Miss Harding graciously offered in the sec- ond half, two very light sketches, a monologue, "The Art Enthusiast," and a bit of humorous verse. With such selections not only had our sym- pathetic understanding been enriched and our love of humor satisfied, but the reader had exhibited her rarer abil- ity and her rare versatility in histrionic art. Mr. and Mrs. John E. Lutz of 460 Hawthorn lane left Sunday for a three weeks' trip to the Pacific coast. Miss Mary E. Lutz is again living at the Delta Delta Delta house in Evanston where she is a junior at Northwestern university. TAKES POSITION IN EAST Miss Katherine Sherman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. A. Sherman of 1062 Ash street, will leave Thursday for New York City, where she will do family case work for the New York association for improving the condition of the poor. Miss Sherman has just returned from a summer spent in Europe, which followed her gradu- ation from the University of Wiscon- sin. Miss Sherman is a member of Alpha Kappa Delta, honorary socio- logical fraternity.
