ficult matter for Milwaukee TO decide.
As it stands now. the social program
includes a reception. to be given Tues
day afternoon from four until seven
o'clock, by the Athenaeum and the wo-
mans club, at the Athenaeum. The
interest in this building. one Of the first
to be built and owned by the women
for club purposes. will make this affair
especially delightful. The great regret
10 that it was impossible to accept the
evening reception at the Athenaeum
which was offered. Wednesday after
noon from four until six o'clock the
guests will be taken a drive along the
lake shore to Milwaukee- Downer COL
lege. The new bui dlngs. taken pos
session OF last fall, will be thrown open
at the invitation Of the president. Mics
Ellen e. S abr, and the ladies' art and
science class, the second larg. st club in
the city, will be the hostess at a recep-

college buildings are the home Il this

with thanks. an afternoon reception
offered by the state fede ration. In q
program of four days length much must
be omitted that was included IN the
Denver biennial.
The matter Of entertainment OF guests
will be conducted as it has been other

Mrs. Buchwalter intends TO do one
thing that no chairman has ever done
before in making preparations: she will
write to each speaker in connection
with other things in regard to the work,
