At 9 this morning we had a reading at Mrs X.'s — such a beautiful reading. Mrs X. read us a paper on the ' Architecture of the Probable Capital of Mars '—1 do wish you could have heard it, dear — and after that Professor W. gave us a little talk on the ' Microscopic Insects of Central Africa.' It was so interesting." 1 "It must have been." "Then at 11 there Avas a meeting of the ' Seventeen Great Religions Club,' mid at 11.30 a meeting of the Ways and Means Committee of the ' Society for the Reformation of Murderers.' And at noon I lunched with Mrs Z." "Yes?" "And in the afternoon we went to the spriua .Ihsatrioals of. the ' TVwngu'/i Garrick
Club.' And then coming home I saw such a lovely child playing in the street in front of our house. Such a dear little boy ! I quite wanted to kiss him. I wonder whose child he is?"
