ORIGINAL NIGHT ARRANGED BY LITERARY CIRCLE HAMILTON CLUB’S “OPEN EVENING” On Monday evening the literacy circle of the Lyceum Club in Hamilton arranged for their “Open Night” a programme of original work. In consequence the many club members who were present had a most enjoyable evening and were able to see some of the work of the circle. Mrs. E. Walders, the convener, in announcing the items, made a few short explanatory remarks. There were stories by two of the members, essays and verses interspersed with pianoforte solos by Mrs. E. V. fStace and Miss Norah Valder. Then followed a sparkling one-act comedy by Mrs. W. J. JStevens, “A Man’s Job.” The setting was an everyday home, where the wife, owing to her husband’s illness, had filled his position most successfully—indeed far more so than he. He in the meantime had. entered upon running the house with great efficiency, and later showed that he found time to develop his literary tastes. The visits of relations and the humorous family conversations made a merry half hour that ended with loud applause. Mr. Stokes, Henry, was read by Mr. Ziman; Mrs. JStokes, Emily, by Mrs. Ziman; Isabel Hayes, a cousin, Mrs. T. Rogers; Qrand Aunt Sarah, by Mrs. Kieher-Harrison; and Betty, a school girl, by Miss L.
