DICKENS READING CIRCLE

It was some three years ago that a little circle of enthusiastic lovers of
Dickens met informally for the reading and study of the works of the famous
English author as a summer's diversion.  The reading club was an outgrowth or
branch of the S. L. A. club and included a number of its members.  The circle
has never been formally organized, but meets alternate Monday afternoons and
after an hour's reading and discussion of the book in hand the hostess serves
English tea which promotes congenial sociability among the members.  It is a
delightful organization and both profit and pleasure is derived from this
informal study of Dickens.  They began with "Little Dorrit" and have taken up
"Martin Chuzzleewit," Hard Times" and "Barnaby Rudge."  The study and
discussion of "Dombey and Son" has been completed and later "Pickwick Papers"
was taken up by the club.  There is no official board as no formal
organization exists.
