cities. 
In the evening a reception was given to Mr. Mc- 
Farland at the City Club, where he told of the well- 
known regeneration of Harrisburg and spoke of the 
widespread and increasing demand for the work of the 
American Civic Association. 
Mr. Franklin MacVeagh presided, and other short 
addresses were made by Mr. George A. Hooker, Mrs. 
Charlotte Craig, of Kalamazoo, Mich., and Mrs. Mills- 
paugh, Vice-President of the Woman’s Outdoor Art 
League. 
Mr. Hooker told of the work of organizing the Chi- 
cago Municipal Museum. The Museum has secured 
two rooms in the public library building and expects 
to have some interesting models and other municipal 
exhibits from St. Louis on view in January. 
Mrs. Craig gave an account of the remarkable work 
accomplished by the Woman’s Civic Improvement 
League of Kalamazoo, which has been noted in these 
columns. The League, though only nine months’ old, 
has worked wonders in cleaning up the city. It under- 
took the cleaning of six blocks in the center of the city 
as an object lesson, and the municipal officials have 
learned their lesson so well that they are ’now in thor- 
ough sympathy with the work and .are co-operating 
with the League. The alleys have been thoroughly 
cleaned and all those belonging to the. city paved. The 
League’s work is divided into the departments of Out- 
door Art, Public Health, General Welfare, and Junior 
Work. 
• Vice-President Clinton Rogers Woodruff, and Mr. 
Frederick Law Olmsted were also expected, but were 
not able to reach the city in time.

The French have gathered many of their beloved 
dead in the Cemetery of Pere La Chaise, where senti- 
ment wreathes the low mounds of Moliere, La Fon- 
taine, Alfred de Musset and others. We pause be- 
side that of the gentle Alfred to enjoy the shade of 
a willow and we realize why this particular tree when 
we read the inscription on the stone :
