enjoy the same privileges and advan-
tages as them elves. No colored wo-
mans club Of Illinois has made applica.
ton to join the General Federation.
Application was made bv one Of the
clubs OF colored women in this city to
join the state federation, but the mem
bers were asked to withdraw the appli-
cation, as it was feared it would make
trouble on the color line, especially as
Mrs. Love was to be the guest at the
state federation. which was held in Chi
cago. There are five clubs among the
colored women OF Chicago. the first OF
which founded. and the others since
have been established by members Of
the original one. There are not enough
co'ored clubs in the state to form a state
body"
The women who think OF the deeper
problems are annoyed that so trivial

and wondering why they are so tired.
They went to the Alhambra theater in
storm skirts this morning. they wore
dainty gowns this afternoon at the bust

that followed. This business session,
with its many words for and against re-
organization, was cut short at four
o'clock by The social committee tells
