As we do not make a complete program of our activities for the 
coming year, I enclose a list of our meetings last year. The hostess on 
each occasion is expected to provide either an original paper or a subject 
which she or some one else suggests, or extracts from a book, paper or 
Government pamphlet which may be of general or special interest. 
Our Annual Dahlia Show has served to aid in bringing the possi- 
bilities of this most gorgeous of autumn flowers, before the public.
