The reports and election of officers are so cleverly and expeditiously han- dled that one is never bored. The entertainment following the luncheon promises to be delightful. The farce, "A Freudian Feud," is par- ticularly timely after the club's psy- chology orgy, and is said to be, in vulgar parlance, a scream. As for the program of music, the names of Mrs. Dennis Grant and Mrs. Gilbert Smith are complete .guarantee of a delightful program. They are too well known, through their charming appearances with the North Shore Theater guild, and elsewhere, to need further comment. Members should bear in mind that today, April 14, is the last date to make reservations.

Dr. Guthrie is general director of the Chicago Congregational Mis- sionary Extension society, an organi- zation which recently received nearly $4,000,000 through the generosity of the late Victor Lawson, and which is doing probably, the most noted piece of work of any other organization of the same kind in the country. The way in which this money is spent, for the most part among the under privileged of Chicago, and the scope of the notable work of the society, is what Dr. Guthrie will dwell upon in his talk to members of the Woman's society. Dr. Guthrie is a native of New Zea- land, 'has 'held notable pastorates in the Fast, particularly one of twelve years at Union church, Boston, and during the World war, was head of the personnel of the American Field serv- ice of three thousand college students who served with the French army be- fore the United States declared war. He is a personal friend of the Rev. James Austin Richards, who informs the members of the society that this address promises to be most interest- ing. They are urged to turn out in large numbers for this meeting as it is the last one before the annual elec- tion. Dr. Guthrie's talk will follow the luncheon, which will be preceded by sewing at 10 and devotionals at 12. It is hoped that there will be many work- ers for the sewing, as a great deal is left to be done. During the sewing period Mrs. Taliaferro Milton will give a reading. Mrs. Milton has frequently given her talent to the society and the readings always are appreciated. Mrs. Freder- ick Dickinson will lead the devotionals. Mrs. G. V. Nevius and rs. J. iC. Risk, hostesses of the day, will have charge of the luncheon at 12:15. To Open Home for Benefit Mrs. H. B. Bezazian will open her beautiful home at 6317 Sheridan road, Chicago, Saturday, April 21, at 2 o'clock, for a card party given for the North End branch, Friends of the Chicago Junior school.

A large attendance is expected at the meeting. The results of the campaign will be read at this time.
