Since 1881 a little “Pentagon” of ladies has been meeting in =Greenwich, Ct.= A member writes of their circle: “Although composed of particularly busy people, we have the conviction that we have been patient over our hindrances, punctual in attendance and persevering in the work. We have run the scale of questions and answers, topics, essays and memorial readings, but prefer, on the whole, the conversational plan as being best adapted to bring out individual thought.” =Cambridgeboro, Pa.=, has an interested circle of twelve members, and =Blairsville=, of the same state, reports twenty, with a prospect of an increase. =New London, Ohio=, claims that their circle, organized one year ago last September, and now numbering twenty, might with propriety be called the incomparable. At =Hennepin, Ill.=, there is a circle of fourteen ladies now reading the second year of the course. A lady writes from =Marion, Ind.=: “We have great reason to congratulate ourselves upon the deep and constantly growing interest felt in our circle, and which is plainly manifested not only by our own members, but by those who do not belong, away off here in the very center of Hoosierdom.” This “deep and growing interest” is the unfailing result of earnest work in the C. L. S. C., and how can it be otherwise when the idea continually develops new phases? The experience of the circle at =Little Prairie Ronde, Mich.=, that “each year the C. L. S. C. unfolds new beauties, awakens new incentives for more earnest action, calls to the foremost the very best of kindliness and cheer, and incites to diligence, research and thought,” is universal. The “Centenary Circle,” of =Minneapolis, Minn.=, has long been a leading one. It is by no means lagging—a late letter reports them as fifty strong—their graduates reading the seal courses, the Memorial Days all celebrated, and a big delegation contemplating a visit this summer to Chautauqua. That, has a genuine ring, particularly the reading for seals by graduates. Hold on to your reading habits. The first and only circle to report an observance of College Day was the “Alden,” of =Marshalltown, Ia.=, where it was recognized by a large gathering of Chautauquans and their friends. Marshalltown has been faithful in reporting all their meetings. They have the western enterprise, but we believe =Sioux Falls, Dak.=, ranks first in that quality. The following explains why: “We have an interesting circle here. We hold meetings weekly, and they are interesting and profitable. We purpose to double or treble our circle next year. We have sent you reports of our circle for THE CHAUTAUQUAN, but you have failed to notice us. We have decided to _Flood_ you with letters till you notice the C. L. S. C. in the largest and most beautiful city in southeastern Dakota.” We shall only be too glad to receive such stirring letters.
