NATIONAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN.
Meeting Will Be Held in Minneapolis
November 1915.

IT, a y =
The National Council of women is
made up of 20 affiliated national So
cieties and several state and local
councils that are themselves affiliated
bodies. 1t represents the largest num-
Der Of women gathered under one
name, and for common purpose, IN
the United States. Its meetings touch
the interests of women OF every sec
ton of the country, for the scope IN
cludes those broad humanitarian
movements upon which widely differ
ing organizations can agree and unite.
Once in three years the council
holds great congress at washington,
in which an accounting is made of the
progress of the world along many i'm
portant lines. At these meetings are
gathered together number of promi-
nent women such as few, If any other,
conventions can muster. These are
not sufficient to attain the desired de-
gree of activity and close relations OF
the council, and between the congress
es a series of annual executive meet
ings are held in cities all over the
country. This meeting is accompan-
led by a series of public gatherings,
similar in nature to the session of the
congresses, only smaller. in number
and more limited in scope. The
amount and Importance of the bust
ness transacted at the executive meet
ings and the congresses is often about
equal depending upon the exigencies
of the time. The executive meetings
bring out usually an excellent showing
of the best public work of the locality
In which they are held.
This year the annual executive
meeting will be held in Minneapolis
November 10, Ia and Is, by invitation
of the Minneapolis Woman's council.
This is local affiliated body made up
of fifty societies divided according to
their line of work into ten depart
ments. This was one of the first local
councils organized on the model of the
national and it is especially fitting
that it should have an opportunity to
entertain the mother society. The To-
cal council was organized early in
1892, while the National Council dates
its origin from 1888.
The West hotel will be the head
quarters and many of the business
meetings will be held there. The pub
lie meetings will be held in the pretty
auditorium of the First Unitarian
church. On the opening afternoon
Mrs. A. e. Higbee, president of the
Minneapolis Council will preside. The
address of welcome will be given by
Mrs. w. B. Leach, former president
of the Minneapolis Council, and the
response will be given by Mrs. Fannie
Humphreys Gaffney, of New York,
president of the National Council, who
will also deliver her address as presi-
dent at the same meeting.
This meeting will be followed by a
reception and visit to the art gal
lery at the home of Mrs. T. B. Walker,
honorary president Of the local coun'
Gil.
The reports of affiliated societies
and discussions arising from their
suggestions will occupy Wednesday
afternoon. 1t is expected that this
will be meeting of special interest
to club women, giving them an oppor-
tunity to enlarge their acquaintance
with number of important organiza-
lions. A large reception to visitors
and women of the local council will be
