No matter how full of verve, vim and vitamines the members of this club may be, there have to be some meetings during the year when they must desist from scaling the rugged mountain peaks and fording the valleys, to stop, look and listen, to say nothing of eat.

Therefore this first entertainment meeting of the season began with supper. There must have been one hundred members there, as every available bit of floor space was taken up with little tables, at which were seated from four to six members. Supper over, the tables were taken away and everybody settled down for. a very amusing and informal entertainment. Mr.

Charles G. Bullard, the founder of the New York Chapter, gave a human sort of talk, with lantern slides, of his recent European trip. He did not bore his audience with "total recall." He would often throw a picture on the screen and say, "Oh, yes, I snapped that somewhere, but I have forgotten what it is" or, again, a picture of a French farm would appear, and he would tell us that under that building was erected a perfect church, and just as you were in the throes of trying to make up your mind whether the church was under the cow barn or the chicken house, all would be straight-ented out for you by the appearance of the next picture, which proved to be a monastery, and the reassuring voice of Mr, Bullard would be saying, "I beg your pardon, I made a mistake the church is under this building," and so on until he left us sitting with him at a table in a French garden, where Mr. Bullard said they drank their wine; but the picture, of course, was taken for Americans and was as bare as Bald Mountain. After the pictures Mr.

Walter Prichard Eaton, whose beautiful place in the Berkshires was thrown on the screen, read an unpublished article about a walk in the Berkshires, which was mostly canoeing on the Konkapot River. He confided some secrets to the Club which he would not give to the public. When he began the, sentence "While fishing down the Konkapot," he interpolated in a decided voice, "That is merely a figure of speech, as it were; I never fish." And he told the real name of a "malefactor of great wealth" who only brought harm to the place that he could have done no end of good to, and lots of other little things that made the meeting seem chummy and intimate. atre party in Manhattan on Monday evening, February 9th.

The new group of "The Institute Players" Which is" under the direction of Mr. Robert Hanna gave a decidedly good performance of 'The Charm School," a comedy in three acts by Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton, on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings of last week in the Music Hall of the Academy of Music. The play itself is insipid, and has nO human' appeal, but as presented by Mr.

Hanna and his cast it had a certain amount of charm. The scenery was excellent and well thought out, and all the parts were well cast, especially Miss Curtis as played by Madeleine Chisholm and Sally Boyd by Margaret Ripley; The MISS DOROTHY BAUER Daughter of Dr. and Mrs. John L. Bauer, who was hostess at a most delightful dance on Friday evening at her home on Eastern Parkway.
