iere reelected unanimously yesterday.
lmong the other points settled was the
election OF Pomona for holding the next

Many resolutions were adopted though
isne, however, were Of sensational
Taracter.
THE papers Of yesterday were gener-
lly in advocacy of female suffrage
.khich ie one OF the principles OF the or
janization.
Through the entire proceedings the
leading argument for outrage was that
.pless woman was elected to Office per-
hvt legislation could not be obtained
because the present offices were run by
politics.
The paper presented at the morning
session was by Mrs. Mary Lynde Craig

men Need Legislation. According to
the paper she does, and 1T is for the
rood OF the country that she should
have it.. The paper WEE generally In
advocacy of female suffrage, was well
delivered and OF course enthusiastically
raseived. 1t was followed by short
speechee in line of thought advanced
by the paper by the following ladies
Mrs. Alice Moore McComas of Los An
aeles, Rev. Florence Kallock, Rev.
Rnth B. Ridges, Mrs. Martha S. e.
Rnt, and Mrs. Sarah +. Jndson of Pas

The work OF the session was the pre-
ssnting of two papers and the compile
ton OF business before adjournment.
Woman for Woman was the title o.
the first paper by Mrs. Grace Kneffer o.
Santa Barbara. She thought that women
saould help their sisters more and labor
to advance each other, a sort of co-opera'
tion being suggested. Clubs and organ
izations were alec good and tended tc
promote spirit OF reliance and fraterna
iaeling among women.
The paper by Mrs. Margaret Collier
Graham OF South Pasadena, upon the
Reform in Social Customs, was especially
we'll received. She spoke againLt the
present custom OF cards, pink teas and
sll OF the other tom foolery of the om-
riipotant goddess fashion. She took 9
practical view of the social customs and
held many OF fashions follies up to rid
licule. Her paper was discussed freely
and generally coincided with, the discus.
sion being opened by Mrs. Emma Payne
Erskine of Pasadena.
Unfinished business was then pre-
.sented and after settling routine affairs
the question OF the place of holding the
next parliament was introduced. -Four
places extended invitations to the body
to hold their February session with
them, they being Santa Ana, Santa

thing for Southern California to be rep.

lost.
DIR. Reid next moved that Pomona be
selected, which was received with ap-
plause.
When put to vote nota dissenting
voice was heard. and Pomone will dc

Mrs. Brady then wanted to know
whether su Inscription could not be
taken to be used in publishing in PAM

fore the parliament.
A short discussion followed, but the

The general secretary, Mrs. Mary s.
