The usual business was attended to and several matters of interest were discussed.

The meeting concluded with a playettc read by Mesdames Woolnough, Goodwin, Lansdown and Oliver, the rendering of which provoked much merriment. The hostesses for the afternoon were Mesdames Leach, Stopford, Priestly and Cox.
