The courses of lectures for the coming winter are planned 
and will, we hope, be equally interesting and instructive. For 
this fall, four lectures are planned on ‘‘Royal Residences” — 
four different countries — and two on modern opera, telling 
the stories, as Humperdinck so delightfully presents them, of 
the old folk tales of “The Royal Children” and “Haensel and 
Gretel.” 
The Winter Free Course will consist of eight lectures on 
varied subjects — scientific, literary and musical. 
In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the organi- 
zation of the Society, the ladies have secured portraits of all 
past presidents of the Society, and of one or two other prominent 
members, and will present them to the Society. These will be 
unveiled at the Jubilee Meeting to be held on November 12. 
The number of members of our Ladies’ Association has 
increased since last year and is now 359. 
The Treasurer Reports Proceeds from lectures, Shake- 
speare Evening, Bluebird Booklet, Rental of piano, a total of 
$220.88. The disbursements included : final payment on piano, 
a payment of $31.35 to A. Gordon Leavitt, Treasurer of the 
Natural History Society, and other expenses, leaving balance 
on hand of $66.43. This amount has been voted to procure 
cases for Dr. Matthew’s collection of two thousand fossils which 
he has lately donated to the Society. 
Once more, in closing this brief report, we would repeat our 
motto, “Progress is the Law of Life.” We belong to a live branch 
of a live Society — Let us grow. 
K. M. Matthew, 
President .
