March 26, 1918.

The Tuesday Club met in the upper hall, and the meeting was called to order by the President. The records of the last meeting were read and approved, and notice was given of the dates for Mr. Ratcliffe's talks, April 9 and 16. Some further notice about the funds being raised by the women of the country for the maintenance of furlough houses was also given,

The afternoons program was in charge of the Art Committee, and Miss Beaumont as chairman presented Miss Martha A. S. Shannon, an acknowledged authority on art, who spoke on "Russian Art and Handicraft." Miss Shannon did not limit herself, however, to Russia's art and handicraft, but gave some glimpses of the country as a whole, with a brief review of her history and the progress she has made from barbarism towards civilization. Some very beautiful views of many of of her buildings and some of the works of her great artists illustrated the talk. Miss Shannon also exhibited a few beautiful specimens of ikons.
Tea was served in the lower hall, with Mrs. Hershey, Mrs. Boyd, Miss Caroline Adams and Miss Esther Engel pouring. The tea tables were especially beautiful, with their decoration of greenery, goldfish and shells, and artistic candelabra.
