COSY CORNER CLUB.

PROGRAMME FOR 1928. Dear Comrades of the Cosy Corner —1 address mjself not only to those who are already members cf the club and have written to our page before, but also to the new-comers whom I expect to join us this year. We have had a long rest—October, 1927, was the month of our last meeting—and done much of interest since w e were last together. Now is the time to think of reuniting.

I have devised a programme, which, f hope, will interest you, for the subjects aro wide and lea.-e plenty of room tor originality. But, for the first meeting, I want you to choose whatever topic you please, preferably something that has made an impression on you since 'ast year. There have been, for instance, tne daylight saving venture, now 'books which you have read, holidays, overseas events, and many more such to occupy your minds. The first meeting ought to be the most entertaining of all, because of the variety of its subject-matter I am looking forward with eagerness to receiving your letters. But the ether meetings can be interesting also Try not to write about the obvious—there are more sides than one to every subject , if you have a chance to be humorous, take it; and make your letters as pleasant to read as if you were sending them fo somebody in hospital who needs to be cheered, not- depressed with cold facts, ft is not necessary to keep really har<j and last to the title set, to write an interesting letter; Charles L?.nib in his " Essays of Elia " can prove that. ■ And yet it is not good to go too far afield. Look upon your task as a happy, beautiful one. and the results will be likewise. I leave you with best wishes for the coming season, and the hope that you will do your best to make the record of the Cosy Corner Chib better this year than evet before.—Your friend.
