The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1900-06-14

The members Of the Clio club who
attended. the Federation of Women S
Clubs in Milwaukee, returned with on
" words of praise for everything that
was done by the women OF that city to
make the national meeting success.
Mrs. J. S. Anderson, president OF the
Clio club, says that the arrangements
were so complete in every way as to WIN
compliments on all sides Mrs. Ander-
son was in Denver two years ago, when
the national gathering of women was
held, not as delegate, though she was
present at nearly every meeting While
the Denver meeting was successful, she
saws, the arrangements were nothing as
compared to the Milwaukee convention.
In the Cream City every woman OF prom
inence opened her home to the dele
gates and the receptions at every place
were of the most delightful character.
There was only one thing in Milwau-
kee which detracted from the meeting
and that was the fippant way In which
the newspapers referred to the debates
of the women over parliamentary diff
erences. In Denver the papers were ex-
tremely courteous, while the Milwaukee
papers alluded to the ''tiffs' between
the women and made such criticisms as
4ssniveling ladies and the like. Outside
of this the papers gave much space to
the convention and reported the proceed
ings fair and correctly.
Mrs. Anderson regretted that more Of
the women of Manitowoc were not pres
ent, because of the many new ideas that
were advanced on subjects of present
inheritance to their sex and because of
the general and valuable knowledge
which was gained She feels that the
members of the Clio clnb were greatly
benefited by all that they heard in the
meetings.
Referring to the division of sentiment
on the admission of the New Era club,
composed of colored women, Mrs. An
derson said that there is an erroneous
impression that the question came be-
fore the general meeting and was dis
posed of, but the fact is that it did not
get beyond the Committee on Creden-
tials and will be subject for discussion
at the next biennial meeting. The varl-
GUS clubs throughout the United States
will go the next convention Instructed
upon the color question and the voting
will no doubt be spirited and sensation
al. Speaking for herself Mrs. Anderson
said she is in favor of the admission OF
the colored women's clubs, inasmuch as
one of the vital principles of the fedora
ton is the uplifting and ennobling of
womanhood and the federation could
not ignore the colored sister.
The position that the Clio club would
take on the question would undoubtedly
be made known at its next meeting.
Mrs Max Rahr, also member of the
club was as enthusiastic as Mrs. Ander-
son as to the meeting in Milwaukee,
speaking particularly of the entertain
ment provided by the women of that
city in their homes Mrs Rahr said she
was not ready to express any sentiment
as to the colored woman question.
All other members of the club spoke
in the highest terms of praise regarding
the convention.
Those who attended were the Mes
danes j. S. Anderson, L. j. Nash c. f.
Smalley, Oscar Alter A. G. Fraser, Max
Rahr, and the Misses Rose and Gesene
Schuette and Lulu Barnes Mrs. George
Bass also went from this city, though
representing Chicago club.
