Miss Barbara Leisz gaVe a most instructive talk on “ Essentials of an Oral Book Review.” This was of interest to the club women as there are to be a number of book reviews given in the future, and the 4 essentials she gave and the contrasts between the types of reviews will be a help to that mem ber “ victim.’’ and, last an account ,by Mrs. Viggo Haufelt, of their trip to New York and back last spring.
