AN ALARMING DISCOVERY
CHARTER OF FEDERATION PRO
yIDEs FOR ONLY CERTAIN WORK.

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, June 9-The depar-
ture of Mrs. Rebecca Lowe at o'clock to-
day concluded the club women's conven-
ton. The new board of directors at it's
meeting made no effort to take the color
question from the table, and one member is
authority for the statement that it will
never be taken from the table. There is
some talk by Mrs. Ruffin, on the other
hand, OF instituting legal proceedings in
Chicago against the federation. whereby
she will seek TO have her rights.
The meeting of the council over which
Mrs. Lowe presided brought out informal
approved the following communication
from the art committee of the federation,
which met simultaneously:
Resolved, That the board of directors
empower the art committee TO appoint sub
committees of correspondence as a medium
of interchange for the art and crafts and
home industries of the various States"
This new movement is the practical out
come of the splendid exhibition of these
industries held for the first time in con-
nection with the club womens convention.
Invitations for the next biennial have
been received from Boston. Buffalo. Los
Angeles and Chautauqua. The Massachu-
setts delegation sent word TO the board
that. though the federation would be most
welcome as the guest of Boston. it must
remember that the New Era Club would be
one of the hostesses, and that members of
that club would serve on committees. The
invitations are to be considered later by the
board, probably not for several months.

matum of the Canadian Pacific has been

the satisfaction of seeing Admiral Dewey
on the bridge. but not exactly as he is COM

civilians clothes. 1t was a splendid day
for the marine parade The admiral was
right at home In it. and his face glowed
with gratitude as from his high point of
vantage he looked over the floating pageant
lined up in his honor. Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey were driven to the wharf at a. m.

assembled crowds. The steamer Tashmoo.

the lakes. made her maiden trip as the dag
snip OF Dewey. There was roar of cheers
to the bridge and exchanged salutes with
the captain. and as the admraFs four
starred blue flag arose to the masthead the
enthusiasm was intensified. Mrs Dewey
stood beside her husband, enjoying the
scene.
AS the Tashmoo swung out and took her
place at the head OF the line and the parade
moved forward an admirals salute OF sew

one query.
ut is perfectly proper said Mrs Lowe.
Il should say" and she looked down at
the convention quizzically IT should say

The clubwomen saw the point and
chuckled- Then they scrubbed away on
their ballots and the tellers went up and
down collecting them in big wire trays and
the chairman anxiously recounted the votes
of her own State to make sure they were
correct. In the midst of Ii all mammoth

The Minnesota women were promptly on
their feet. They explained that Miss Evans

any blame anywhere Ii was not to be at

of the situation.

by her address on individuality In dress.

she asked: cant the federation satisfy
the demand for pockets convenient to the
hand and not on a line with the spinner"
'.Gloves are tyranny" declared the
speaker. small waists are not in harmony
with civilization. IT is shame that the
Chinese minister should ask why we pinch
our waists and expose our bodies. Long
skirts in the streets are disgusting. Long
skirts are the great barrier In the way OF
womans progress. They are the cause OF
crooked legs, and shoes deform the feet.
Scientists say the time is coming when

of the federation could make the fashions

Mrs Coonley Ward then talked of the
spiritual significance of dress. Black, she
said. was the symbol of hopeless grief.

One of the truly entertaining features Of
the week was the reception given by the
Milwaukee Press Club. The clubrooms are
modelled on the accepted idea of Bohemia.
An outside staircase leads to a suite OF
low-ceiled rooms, that are furnished In
accordance with a mans ideas OF comfort.
Newspaper artists have drawn cartoons
on the walls. there are pipes on the shelves
and stems In easy reach. The chairs cam
not be damaged by use, and the tables are
made TO put ones feet on when the mas
culine spirit moves that the masculine legs
need rest in a horizontal position.
The reception was an impromptu affair.
and was given when eleven fashionable at
homes claimed the delegates, but the Press
Club proved the most amusing of all, and
il held its guests the longest. On a long,
bare deal table Dutch lunch was set
out. and all who took refreshments were
reminded that fingers were made before
forks. Lemonade and iced water were
served from granite pals, and porcelain
lined dippers were used as ladies'
three musicians who had forgotten their
| collars played rag-time music. and George
Kerr. the president of the Press Club re-
celved the guests. In one of the rooms Gov

been thrown. Every little while the presi-
