March 19, 1918.

After the meeting had been called to order and the secretary's report read, the President called the attention of the club to the effords now being made throughout the United States to raise funds for the establishment of furlough or rest houses for the American soldiers in France, places where they can go when given furloughs and have suitable surroundings for rest and recreation until they return to the fighting line. Contributions of one dollar each are solicited by the club from it's members.
The Literature Committee, Mrs. Grabill, chairman, provided a most enjoyable afternoon, presenting Professor Dallas Lore Sharp of Boston University, who read selections from his own writing - two chapters from "The Hills of Hingham", real bits out of the author's life in the country, and the longer story "Turtles Eggs to Agassiz". In response to the hearty applause he gave a short story as an encore. The real human interest of this stories, with touches of delicate humor, was greatly appreciated by his hearers.
Adjourned.
Margaret H. Chadwell
Recording Secretary.
