they will be so diluted there Will be no
representation 40 all"
Mrs. George WKendrlck Jr., OF Phlla.
delphia, corresponding secretary OF the
General Federation. is compiling a az.
rectory and would be- glad 10 have
names Of officers Of federated women's
clubs.
Nine. PICARD, who Is both head and
shoulders OF the womens congress Of
the Paris exposition, is described by
Mrs. Lowe as IAN ideal type OF the
French character, which so many OF us
misunderstood. She Is a remarkable
fnancier. and although sparkling with
humOr has none OF the frivOlity that we
are accustomed 20 associate with the
Galllc temperament"
II Is disconcertlng but the modern
woman continues To- change her mind
10 the same old feminine way This
time u has TO do with that club wo-
mans trip abroad.
No sooner had some Of our interested
sisters decided what bolnel 10 take In
the bandb0X ana what copy "a ljlOSn-
ing 10 carry IN the otter hand. aud how
many inches from the ground 20 make
the walking skirt, than along comes
squelching little note from the Paris
exposition committee OF the General
Federation OF Womens Clubs saying
that the whole thing Is 90 be thrown
overheard. There Is TO be no char
tered steamer for the club women, no
federation day at the Paris exposl-
ton, no three months wandering over
the earth. no nothing
or course there Is a cause for this
change of mind. The secretary OF the
committee. Miss Anna Maxwell Jones
Of New York. declares il is partly due
to conflict OF dates between the Mil
waukee biennial az home and the fed
GRAFTON Gay" as offered abroad, and
partly TO the apathetic attitude Of clubs
all over the country. In writing TO &
club woman Miss Jones continues:
The French women were 20 meet our
delegation at Havre, give us an official
reception and consider us their trump
cards In their congress. but we We're
not going TO land with a dozen members
and no exhibit nor any club interests
at hand 20 back us. We had money,
to be sure, promised by patr0nesses who
were each TO give 500. but II would not
have been right to take their money
and have nothing for them to preside
over. So our committee decided TO
yield gracefully when the national
board OF directors said Give Il up, and
not be responsible for a failure"
But think OF II. One half million
American club women with not enough
interest among 'em 20 do their little
turn at the Paris exposition where $50
organizations OF women from every
part Of the world will have representa-
tlyes.
Though the club woman's tour has
been abandoned there Is a considerable
company that win be ION deck" liter
ally, en- route 60 the Paris exposition.
Among the goers abroad may be mem
toned Mrs Ellen Henrotin. Mrs Re-
becca Lowe. Mrs. j. G.. Croly, Mrs. Her
man Hall and Mrs. William Tod Hell

The appointment Of Mrs Potter Pal
mer as a commissioner 10 the Paris ex-
position has received the approval Of an
the w0men's clubs OF the country In
deed II was the unanimously expressed
desire OF these organizations that this
beautiful Chicago woman. who had dis
played SO much ability as president Of
the board Of lady managers IN the Col
umblan exposition, should represent the
women OF America in the first Internal
tiOnal fair that has come since 1893
