At Tuesday' gathering of mem. bers an interesting departure from the ordinary programme was arranged by Mrs. Lacey,—the Librarian, the afternoon entertainment taking the form of a "book tea." Members and vi rs were required to wear a token representing the title of a book, a prize being given to the lady who correctly named the largest number of titles. Many of the tokens were ingeniously devised, and the search for titles "—not to be confused with the pleasant pastime common to American heiresses in novels—kept the company fully occupied and interested. Songs were sug (by Miss Ruth Johnson and Mrs, Dunlap) representing—book titles, and these had also to be guessed. The programme had ite practical side, each member contributing a book to the library of the Society, more than a hundred volumes being received.
