The Institute was held each night of the week concluding with Thursday night. There Were two sessions each night with a flUeen minute recess be tween sessions. ' During the intermis jslon the four circles or the Woman's Missionary Society in turn served light lefreshments such as apples, peanuts, l home-made candles, caxes and wafers.

The meeting was caitee to order by ?.the president, Mrg. B. T. Holden. The secretary being aoscnt, Mrs. Mann was requested to act for her at this meeting. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and ap proved . Tfce program for the- afternoon was rendered as follows: Subject ? Wom en Educators.

Mrs Beam read Miss Allen's paper on Ella Flagg Young and Her Part In the Education of Young Americans, in which It was clearly sho^^hat al though women are often the laBt to be heard In matters pertaining to children outside the borne, they, nev ertheless, have good ideae ?? to what Is best. Mrs. Young was the only woman among a number of applicants for Bupt. of the Chicago Schools, and the last to be allowed to appear bar" fore the appointing board, yot received I the, appointment. The humor inter spersed with facts in Miss Allen's pa per was very enjoyable. Mrs. Holden read as her Current Toplo "How we Utilize the Sun of the Tropics." This was a very Interest ing and Instructive narrative of the growth; ^ood- value, and development of marketing of the banana. At the conclusion of the program the guests were Invited Into the din ing-room where Mrs. Allen had re freshment* in four courses served at a beautifully appointed table. Pink candles In cut glass sticks shed a soft glow; and the guests participated in a social conversation of much Inter e,t- i fa- . ' The club adjourned to meet with Mrs. B. T. Holden on Jan. 18th.
