STAR, WASHINGTON, was extended to all members to attend the book reviews held the second Sat- urday of each month, from 2 to 4, in the auditorium of the Mount Pleasant Public Library, under the auspices of Mrs. Ellis Logan, chairman of the de- partment of education in the District | of Columbia Federation of Women's Clubs. The names of three applicants for membership, sponsored by Mrs. Saw- telle, Mrs. Van Hoesen and Mrs. Bishop, were presented to the secretary in writing, for the approval by the execu- tive committee. The absence, on account of illness, of Mrs. Mattie Q. Ewing and Mrs. Emily Jarboe was noted with regret by the | members, and a welcome was given to Mrs. A.
