The annual meeting of the Mineral Art 
„g„ League of Boston was held at the studio of 
Mrs. Manns Beebe, Saturday, May iSth. The 
report of the recording secretary (Mrs. C. L. Swift) was most 
interesting. After mentioning the lectures, lessons and criti- 
cisms with which the league had been favored she said : " In 
no previous year has the club done so much earnest work in 
the right direction as in the year just closed." The report of 
the treasurer (Miss Johnson) showed the finances of the 
league to be in a good condition. The report of the corre- 
sponding secretary (Mrs. Bakeman) was followed by an 
address by Mrs. Beebe, the retiring president. It was full of 
energy and impressed her hearers with the need of individual 
interest and activity for the prosperity of the league. The 
report of the nominating committee was then made and the 
following officers elected: President, Miss Ella A. Fairbanks; 
First Vice-President, Mrs. Grace E. Beebe ; Second Vice-Presi- 
dent, Mrs. Gertrude C. Davis ; Recording Secretary, Mrs. Car- 
oline L. Swift; Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. M. M. Bake- 
man ; Treasurer, Miss Augusta I. Johnson.
