"Nothing in modern physical' culture," said Miss Hay, "should be hurried and jerky but all movements should be done slowly and smoothly." All the members were keenly interested in. Miss Hay's talk and demonstration and a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to her. A delicious afternoon tea followed, the hostesses being Mesdames Barker '■ and •Tanisch.
