local club will make plans to attend

sin Federation of Woman's clubs,
which will be held in Racine the latter
part of next week. It is the intention
Of the ladies of Kenosha to attend the
sessions in a body. Several Of the
ladies have been assigned to places on
the program and others will take part
in the various discussions.
The program of the convention, while
not fully complete, is still far enough
along to give promise of the most in
teresting meeting which the club
women of the state have yet held.
Mrs. Charles S. Morris, of Berlin, is
chairman of the committee having the
program in charge and has arranged
some unusual and most attractive
features.
The convention will be in session
three days instead of two as usual the
morning sessions being given over en-
tire1y to business such as the reports
of officers and committees and the
election. The session of Wednesday
afternoon, Nov. Z, will be devoted to
educational interests, the report of the
state committee on educa ton being
made at that time, while brief talks on
educational topics will be given by
number of we'll known Wisconsin club
women who have made a special study
along these lines. On Wednesday
evening Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Stet-
son, the best known woman economist
of the day, will give an address on the
rather striking topic, "Our Brains and
What Ais Them She will also re-
cite several original poems and the
literary part of the program will be
varied by good music furnished
through the efforts of Racine club
women who will act as hostesses for
the convention.
On Thursday afternoon the session
will be devoted to a discussion of club
and federation interests, and while
most of the addresses will be by Wis
consin club women, Miss Helen Wins
low, editor of The C1ubwoman, pub
1ished in Boston, will speak on 'What
the Club Should Mean For the
evening of the same day the Racine
club women have arranged an elabo-
rate reception.
For Friday afternoon a symposium

of Woman" has been arranged. The
addresses will be confined to reviews
of noteworthy books and magazines of
the day and a general discussion will
follow, the closing number being an
address by Mrs. Ella w. Peattie, of
Chicago, on "The Trend of American
Social Life" The program for Friday
evening has not yet been completed,
but arrangements are being made for
addresses by distinguished speakers.
The introduction of the new officers
and the reading of the usual resolu-
tions wifi also take place on that even
ing, and there is a promise that the
resolutions will be of more than usual
interest.
Miss Messenger, of Chicago, harp
ist, who played at the Arts and Crafts
exhibit during the biennial in June,
will be present at the literary meet
ings in the afternoon prepared to play
in any pauses that may occur, that
plan having been adopted in place of
the usual one of set musical numbers.

the work done by the federation along
the lines of library extension, the Con-
sumers' League, art interchange town
and village i'm provement, education
and labor.
