The President of the Tuesday Club presided at the meeting held November first in the Unitarian Parish House. The report of the recording secretary was read and accepted. Mrs. Edric Eldridge, Chairman of the History and Travel Department announced that Mrs. Francis B. Sayre, the speaker of the afternoon, was unable to appear and that the Club was most fortunate in securing Mrs. Courtney Crocker of Boston whose husband was the successor of Mr. Sayre as Adviser to the Siamese Government in Foreign Affairs. Mrs. Crocker, in speaking of Siam, informed the members of how happy, clean, courteous and efficient the Siamese people are, their beautiful buildings and many temples, good streets where formerly there were only canals, the King kind and thoughtful of others, the tempterature high in the day time but cool nights and very comfortable although lizards, mosquitoes and ants were numerous. Moving pictures were shown of the coronation of the King and the cobra farms of the Pasteur Institute where the anti toxin is made for the treatment of the natives who have been bitten by cobras when bringing in the rice which is their principal crop.
Respectfully submitted, Blanche U. Eldridge Rec. Sec.
