club work., and especially she wished
to read from Miss Helen Winslow's
editor of h Club Woman) speech IN
THE Relation of Women to Journal
ISM" Mrs. Winslow began with a
bitter arraignment of the yellow news-
paper" What can club women do
about this?" said Mrs. Winslow. Ask
the publisher of sensational journals
why they pervert public taste. and they
will say hat they have not perverted
public taste, but public taste has per-
verted the newspapers. The public
press will be improved just as soon as
the public demands it. If women would
see that only the ~cleanest papers were
admitted into their homes. a great step
would be taken. Many clubs have their
press committees. The members might
be constituted sort of censors. They
should read o only news reports, but
advertisements, and IL any contain
questionable matter they should be de-
ported. Do not forget that thousands
of people, both men and women, read
the club reports, and what they want
to know is the actual good work that
the club is doing. The day has gone
by when club women should know what
is going on only in the local club world.
She must kno h is going on in
clubs throughout the country" An
appeal was made to the club women
to teach the editors that people do
want what the women bring TO them,
and to so conduct their clubs that mat
tiers distasteful to the public or lacking
in interest and good results be elm
mated. In closing, Mrs. Holbrook spoke
of the lunc h clubs, factory clubs, store

to a lively debate. The theory was
presented that the president or secre-
tary of the state federation could
do the work now required of
the state chairman; on the
other hand it was shown that the state
chairman is the only officer in the state
representing the G.. F. w. c. directly
and in constant communication with
the general officers, while the president
and secretary of state federation rep

Moore, i'm explanation, said that many
club women not delegates were voting,
and the request given by Mrs. Henrot-
in. which was really an order, was
for the purpose of preventing unfair
treatment TO all candidates. Mrs.

tie incident that illustrates the eX-
treme side of the club movement came
to Mrs. Moore's notice. which caused
much amusement when related by her.

of the states were called IL was appar-

testing in a peculiarly penetrating
voice, in the name of justice and order.
All of the delegates united in saying
tina they did not believe any other
city could furnish as many unique and
delightful entertainments as the Den

Wednesday was one of the gala days
of club life in Butte: n of the days
eagerly looked forward to, thoroughly
enjoyable, and one which added anoth-
er link to the bonds of good-fellowship.
The occasion was the reception given
by the Atlas club at the home of Mrs.
j. d. Slemons on Washington street TO
all the club women in the city in n
or of the Montana delegates who at
tended the Denver biennial The house
was beautifully decorated wath garden
flowers, peonies, columbines, marguer-
ties and roses; in every available space
was a jar or vase of fragrant blossoms.
In the hall, the staircase was banked
with evergTeens, over which were scat
tered yellow roses, the yellow n green
representing the colors of the Atlas
club. In the parlor was noticed the
combination of flowers representing
the violet, yellow and white of the
Woman's club. M the green and
white of the Homer club. Mrs. NJ. Sla-
ter. the president of the Atlas, n the
other ladies composing the reception
committee, graciously received the
guests. The pretty summer toilets, the
laughter. the buzz of conversation n
the sweet strains of music furnished
by the orchestra stationed in an al
cove in the upper hall were delight
full to see and hear, all combining TO
make the afternoon rs merry as a
marriage bell" The afternoon was well
on the wane when Mrs. Slater, the At
las club president. called for order and
announced that the delegates present
had cordially consented to speak of
the various features of the Denve BIZ
ennial which had attracted their at
tention, and also to tell something of
their personal experiences.
Mrs. T. w. Buzzo. president of the
woman's club of Butte, was the first
speaker. She confined her remarks 20

A learned Judge was taken suddenly
