"It was explained that the Year Book of 1924-25 was simplified by omitting the By-Laws. By doing so the expense was cut considerably. "It was regretted that the 'Application for Membership' blanks were not included in the book. Copies may be obtained from the corresponding secretary or from the chairman of the membership committee. "On account of some withdrawals and many changes in residence the waiting list is comparatively small, making it a good time to propose new members. "The next regular meeting of the club will be held October 16, at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon. It will be in charge of the art and literature committee, the subject, 'Chinese Paintings,' the speaker, Mr. Charles Kelley. On this day the ew stereopticon will be used."

Sapallnikoff Hungarian Fantasy ........ Liszt "The orchestra parts were played on the econd piano by Daisy Waller Stephen. "Miss Magnuson was a prize winner in the piano department of the Society of American Musicians' contest. Glenn Dillard Gunn says of her, 'Her fingers are models of accuracy and precision, her rhythmic sense is keen and commuuicative; her tone is capable of variance from a delightfully transparent pianissimo to a fortissimo, stalwart and impressive, and above all, the underlying musicianship is apparently as firm and unshakeable as her fingers are infallible.' "The club feels very grateful to Miss Magnuson for so splendid a program." T FREE LECTURE ON CHRISTIAN SCIENCE by ······-· . A. HERVEY-BATHURST, C.S.B.
