Description An account of the resource [Page 1] Minutes for Book Club - Fall, beginning 1902- By order of the President, the members of the Book Club were called together on the evening of Oct. 2nd at the home of Mrs. Smith. This goes on record as the earliest date set for a meeting since our club was organized. A testimony to the business like character of our President, Mrs. Grey, and a circumstance which arouses a slight suspicion of our own Pres.’s haste to lay aside the “Robes of office.” We regretted the absence of three members, Mrs. Sloan, Miss Withers and Miss Thompson. A majority being present we proceed with the regular business, incidental to the opening of each new series of meetings. The election [Page 2] of officers was rendered more than usually exciting because of the nominations of three ladies for Pres., each member clinging to her choice with the tenacity of a veteran politician. Much wire pulling and lobbying was in order. The first ballot showed Mrs. Sloan and Miss Thompson Tied for the Presidency, Mrs. Black a close third, and Mrs. Martin elected Sec. & Tres. More whispered consultation and another ballot gave us Miss Thompson as President and Mrs. Sloan as Vice P. Mrs. Black having ignominiously pleaded everything in order to be excused from office. The lists of books seemed to have been made up with an unusual amount of care and interest. After a thorough study of the [Page 3] list collectively and individually, in which we were much aided by Mrs. Frank Osborne of Charlotte, guest of Mrs Graham. Twelve books were selected. The meeting was adjourned to be continued when the books should arrive. [ ] Oct.-Mrs. Grey assembled the club in her parlor to “cast lots” for the inviting new books displayed. In seriousness or gladness the members carried home the books as follows (List on opposite page) [no list provided] In gathering together as a club we mutually sorrow for the loss of our bright and lovely young member, Miss Alice Neel, so recently taken to the mansion above. Tthe loveliness of her person [Page 4] the stimulus of her bright mind,the purity and beauty of her character is a loss keenly felt by us as a Club and as individuals. The Club offers as hearty vote of thanks to the retiring officers Mrs. Grey, Mrs. Black and Mrs. Dupuy, for a most harmonious and pleasant series of meetings. The newly elected officers ask us higher praise than to have it said that they worthily succeed them.

At Mrs. Martin’s however we had the happy experience of seeing all the members of the Club present and of greeting two visitors from Mooresville also. Mrs. Grey reported a new book by S.R.

We were pleased to have with us for the evening Miss Addie Herron one of the charter members. Mrs. Harrison read Henry Van Dyke’s “Footsteps to Peace” greatly to the enjoyment of the ladies. It is too fine for theory- but is good to memorize and practice. Ellen Glasgow’s latest book “The Battlefield” has just left the publishers. An amusing incident in Tennyson’s life was recited. A blunder due to defective eye sight in his peer among poet laureates made him pat the Czarina caressingly on the shoulder. Confusion still reigned as to who was responsible for current events. We are almost hopelessly behind the times but expect to be landed handsomely abreast at the next meeting by Mrs. Currie. [Page 2] Our author for the evening Lucas Malet alias Mrs. Mary Kingsley Harrison was introduced by Miss Withers with some interesting extracts from a criticism by Ford. Rather against her will she was obliged to quote some flattering opinions of the author of Sir Richard Calmady. Twelve years were spent in writing the book which has its foundation in real life- the hero, Sir Richard being suggested by a distinguished Irish Lord, himself a cripple. The ladies listened with intense interest to Mr. James Barrie’s review of the book. Miss Holt gave outline of the life of Charles Kingsley, father of Lucas Malet. -Club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Black at a time to be determined later. Senior speeches & visiting young ladies on the regular date being deemed incompatible with Book Club.

As a substitute for our only absent member, the President brought Miss Daniel a welcome visitor. In response to roll call Mrs. Grey gave some of the eccentricities of authors- Victor Hugo is reported to compose while walking, a modern Peripatetic . Mrs. Black gave a review of “Richard Yea and Nay” by Wm. Moody who considers the imagination of the author suggestive of Shakespears tho lacking in art sense and human touch. Miss Whithers on current events noted two changes in the Cabinet. Shaw as Treasurer and Payne as new Post Master General. Danish West Indies bought by the U.S. lately for five millions of dollars has a valuable port St. Lucian used as a coaling station by the increased number of trading and other vessels plying between the United States and the far East.

Senate Clark of Montana has paid two hundred and fifty thousand for a German Art Collection. Consideration of the purchase of the Panama Canal from the French at forty millions, is by some considered only a bluff diverting attention from the Nicaraguan route, which when completed will cause a decline in the value of overland Rail Road stock. In regard to “Wind and Wave” the book for discussion Miss Neel could find little about the author (Mr.) Burch. Two things however gave her satisfaction: he was neither a woman, nor an American. The Scene of the Story Leyden is beautiful for situations and construction. The Rhine there being drawn out into [Page 2] 1902 a hundred and fifty canals for thoroughfares of the city.

Description An account of the resource [Page 1] 1901 Dec 20th One of the coldest evenings in December the ladies drew up around the heater in Mrs. Holt’s parlor rejoicing in its warmth. There were only ten members present and one visitor. Mrs. Grey reported a new novel by C.W Chestnutt the mulatto author, title “The Mirror of Tradition.” Mrs. Black recalled him as a trimmer of hedges in her home near his, before he rose to fame. He now lives in N. York. A Frenchman has invented the spectrograph which mirrors the speaker at the telephone. Attention was called to some papers on Stonewall Jackson by Dr. Graham Sr. now coming out in “Things & Thoughts” a Wincheste, Va magazine as of special interest . Mr. Wm. Archer chronicling thirty three living English and Amer. poets mentions our Alice Brown. Ian McLauren’s Young Barbarians is said to be very popular. A young Eng. Boy descended on one side from Lord Byron and on the other from Bulwer & Owen Meredith ought to be one of The poeta nascitus. [Page 2] 1901 A French school is to be established in U. States for teaching French students American methods. Miss Holt’s book not having came- she begged to defer naming the subject till the close of the meeting. Miss Thompson then told of what woman had done in the world of music. Chamounard, French, is pronounced by Perry the greatest female composer living or dead. He heard her give a pleasing three hours recital of vocal and instrumental music all her own, without any assistance, playing her own accompaniments, and without a written note. Mrs. H.H. Beach of Boston at one year of age could hum forty tunes, learned the piano keys at two, could read notes at four- and at sixteen played in the Boston Orchestra. Her specialty is dainty songs. The best pianists in Amer. are said to be women. Musical histories are few. Musical words pore[?] Miss Holt read a pen protrait by J.N. Page of the Southern Matrons fifty years ago _______ guide of [Page 3] 1901 a domestic world all her own. Miss Withers was too unwell to bring the heroine of a century back, always “bathed in tears” or “ swooning with emotion.” Mrs. Graham gave us the new heroine, self reliant and energetic. Everyone enjoyed the hot coffee with the dainty accessories - and the cute little sticks of candy fresh from the Memphis factory caused an epidemic of kleptomania - and many mothers went off laden with a couple of them for wee ones at home. The Pres. thought it a bad precedent but was over-ruled.

Mrs. Smith told of Mrs. Theodosia Alston his only child sweet and lovely in character highly cultivated and beautiful. The mystery of her fate will always lend interested to her story.
