 by the persons in charge. There will be the usual exhibition, illustrating the 

 work of the various societies, to which members generally are invited to 

 contribute. Packages may be sent before the meeting to the Children's 

 Museum, Jamaica Plain, Mass. The exhibition will be open Friday afternoon,
