DISCUSSIONS OF WOMEN.
Topics Debated nt Rochester by the
Federation of Clubs.

ROCHESTER, N y, Nov. 11-The
warmest discussions Of the week marked
the closing hours Of the fifth annual con
vention of the New York State Federation
of Women's Clubs yesterday afternoon.
The question of presenting resolutions
touching the case of Brigham H. Roberts,
the Mormon Representatiye-el elect, has been
discussed between sessions all the week.
Tt is understood that Mrs. William Todd
HeImuth and others did not desire to have
the subject touched upon On the other
hand. certain radical spirits felt that the
convention would fail in its duty unless
some action were taken. a motion was
finally presented by Mrs. ". c. Gannett Of
this city. It was so hastily drawn that it
was unfortunately worded. Many did not
fully understand its significance.
A lively discussion followed, led by Su-
san 3. Anthony. who expressed regret that
the matter had been broached, arguing in
effect that il was unjust TO war vigorously
upon one man for sin Of which so many
men are guilty. The motion was finally
lost
Il thank you. ladies', was Mrs Hell
muths comment
The motion laid over from Wednesday
to prepare a petition to the State legisla-
ture for the establishment of State IN
dustriaI school in New York city. pre-
sented by Mrs. Clarence Burns, of New
York. came up again. The Rochester and
other upstate delegates have been bitterly
opposed to the original motion, but the
New York delegation carried the day. The
only material change in the resolution IS
that the State Board of Charities will not
be specified to control the school.
Fun ran riot when Practical Reforms"
and Aesthetics in Civics" were discussed.
Mrs. Jacob Hess. of Sorosis. recommended
that the club establish golf links for the
working classes.
DR. Jennie de la Lozier, of New York,
/ recommended that those members OF wO-
mems clubs who take on superhuous flesh
Z exercise in the open air. Dancing Is the
very best form Of exercise. DR.. Lozier
said. 60 dancing in the back yard II you
cannot 20 anywhere else.
Mrs Allen Nye. of New York, suggested
the establishment of playground for wo-
mems clubs
Mrs. A. NJ. Palmer. president Of the
Rainy Day Club Of New York, president
of the Professional W0man's League, and
member of Sorosis. spoke on dress reform.
Mrs Palmer said in her plea for shorter
skirts:
WHY should women persist in wearing
trailing garments for The sake OF a foolish
fashion in making themselves not only un-
comfortable bur also . distinct menace tC
their own health and that Of their fam
ilies2
To sum up in a very few words, we ap-
peal TO the women OF this federation to
. help US in our work by forming branches
throughout the State. and by so doing in
NJ
in dress thereby promoting a higher
standard OF wOmanhood.'
