Suggestions on Former Reading-Course Bulletins. 423 



" When we closed our meetings last spring it was decided to hold 

 them again the coming winter. We have about decided to wait till after 

 Christmas before we have any meetings. We think most of the old 

 members will continue the reading and perhaps a few new ones. We had 

 18 in the club last year ; we may have 20 this year. We shall be pleased 

 to entertain you or any of your representatives at any of our meetings. 

 We had very pleasant and profitable meetings last year. We have had two 

 social gatherings this summer, one in strawberry and one in grape time. 



" Last winter we met at the different homes, and had our dinner at 

 I p. M., the hostess providing the dinner, limited to eight articles. Our 

 literary program began at two o'clock and lasted two hours or more. 

 We usually went home at 5 p. m., as all were farmers and had chores to 

 do. .The bulletins were discussed, we had a question box, recitations and 

 music at each meeting. We think the bulletins excellent and we can 

 learn much from them. Last winter was a very favorable one, we did not 

 have to give up a meeting on account of bad weather.
