January 23, 1918. Guest Night.

A large attendance of Tuesday Club members, with their husbands and friends, greeted the annual Guest Night. A reception was held by the officers and past presidents of the club, followed by a pleasing musical program by the Hillside Mandolin Club of Somerville and Mjiss Helen Choate, soprano. Some disappointment was experienced in not being able to have Mr. Ratcliffe, the speaker scheduled for the evening, who had been delayed in his arrival in this country, but Lieut. Roseli of the Italian army, and a professor in an American college at the time of Italy's entrance into the war, was secured to take his place. He spoke of the war situation at the present time, dealing particularly with that on the Italian front and the part Italy has played since entering the struggle. Lieut. Roseli's story of his perosnal experiences in the war, told in a modest and engaging manner, deeply interested his audience, and at the close a large member met him informally, and enjoyed a personal word with him.
On account of the efforts of the club this winter at conservation and in war relief work, the usual refreshments were omitted.
