The next biennial meeting OF the
General Federation of Women's Clubs
Will be held in Los Angeles, and In or
der TO give the expected visitors n
glimpse of California under favorable
weather conditions the Los Angeles
club women have set April 2G, 1902,
as the opening date for the six day
convention. This Is month earlier
than the usual time for holding the
biennial meetings, but May is apt to
prove foggy time in California, and
the club women of the convention city
wish it and the surrounding country
to be seen at their best, as it Is antici-
pated that many club women from
other sections will take advantage of
the special railroad rates to visit the
California coast at this time.
The convention will open on Thurs
day, which Is an innovation, as the
earlier days of the week have hitherto
been selected and the proceedings con-
cluded by Saturday when possible, al
though Mt the Denver meeting three
years ago the convention extended into
the next week. Sunday coming in the
middle of the convention week at Los
Angeles will afford an opportunity for
needed rest, for even the most interest
ed attendant is apt to find five or six
days of continuous attendance at Il
convention extremely wearisome.

The exceedingly handsome wife Of a

days doing what only the hundredth
woman would ever think of doing. She
Is telling n story on herself. Not very

her gloves she noticed that beside her
sat stout and elderly person, obvious

provincial modiste after cut paper
pattern and just as obviously unused
to the ways of polite society. She
seemed not to know any one present.

CHOICE MISCELLANY


There was Il peculiar and significant
conference the other afternoon at st.
Georges hall. Westminster Bridge
road, conference of husbands met to-
gether for the purpose of devising some
method of protecting men afflicted with
drunken wives.
The outcome was the formation of
protection society for such unfortunate
husbands.
The seriousness of the subject in
volved was duly emphasized by the
promoter of the meeting, whose sad ex-
perence had been, he informed the
conference, that during his 24 years of
married life he had been compelled to
buy his home back from the pawnbro-
kers four times over owing to the In
temperate habits of his wife.
Many thousands of husbands, he add
ed, were in a state of abject slavery.
Home after home had been rendered
miserable by the overindulgence Of
women in alcoholic liquors.
1t was urged that while the wife had
redress against the husband the latter
had no remedy against the wife, who
could pledge his furniture or break up
his home at will. Having formed
themselves into n protection society,
the husbands passed resolution In
favor of amending the bishop of Win
chester's bill so as to reach drunken
wives. This will be forwarded to the
prime minister, the home secretary, the
bishop of Winchester and various men,
bers of parliament.-Exchange.

Speaking of dining rooms, lovely old
silver lamps are to be seen in the an
tique departments of some of the big
shops. These lamps are adapted for
electric lights and are suspended by sill
yer chains above the dinner table.
The pretty old fashion of having
quantity shaped "dishes" of rare china
filled with few choice pears, peaches,
etc, is coming into favor once more,
but now the china dishes are replaced
by small baskets of silver or silver gilt,
and they are placed at the four corners
of the table.
At a fete given by n rich wine grower
of Rheims the decorations were Won
drously beautiful, quite spectacularly
so. The ballroom was wreathed literal
ly from floor to ceiling with pink roses
and shaded leaves, and every other
flower contained tiny electric light,
which sparkled and shimmered like so
many stars. The supper room was even
more beautiful and must have present
ed deliciously cool and inviting ap-
pearance. The entire cave was trelliSed
with vine leaves, relieved with punches
Of the grape green and purple fruit
each cluster being lighted with cleo
tricity.

An American house, one of the lar
gest manufacturers of telephones and
supplies in the world, recently received
an extensive order for telephones and
switChboards to be used in the new
telephone system of London. The or
der, which Is said to amount to nearly
S1,0OOOoO, was received from the Brit
ish government through the company's
London house. The company's New
York manager says:
"The orders thus far received are
merely advance orders. We expect
larger ones. 1t was reported that our
contract amounted to $5,0O0,000 That
was an eXaggeration, but It Is quite
within the bounds of possibility that
the orders will soon grow to that pro-
portion.
II don't believe any English firms
complained because we received or
ders, for there Is no house in England
able to fill such an extensive contract
for telephones and switchboards 1t
VIII largely depend on the government
whether the telephone ever becomes as
popular in London as it Is here.
There are 60,000 telephones In New
York, while in London there are less
than 10000. That is due to the poor
service as compared with ours. Lon

Miss Kate NJ. Gordon of New Or
leans, who has just been elected CORE
spending secretary OF the National
American Woman's Suffrage assocla-
tlon, is probably the only person in the
United States who ever voted legitl-
mately several hundred times in one
day. When the Louisiana constitution
al convention in 1898 gave taxpaying
women the right to vote upon all ques-
tlons submitted to the taxpayers, 1t
added n clause to the effect that any
woman who preferred to do so might
cast her vote by proxy.
Soon after a special election was
held in New Orleans to levy tax for
improved sewerage. New Orleans was
almost the only city of its size without
underground sewers. Up to that time
every effort to levy a special tax for
sewers had failed. When the women
taxpayers were given n vote, they took

II is said of 16-year-old Annie Pan
tenburg of Sidney, Neb., that she can
go out on the range, catch the widest
horse in the herd, rope it, throw 1t,
brand 1t without assistance, then re-
turn to the house and cook n meal that
would tempt the appetite of pamper-
ed epicure. She is known as the horse
and cattle queen of western Nebraska.
Miss Pantenburg lives on the ranch
of her father, the late John Panten-
burg. She is II typical western girl, hay
ing been born on the banks of Lodge
pole creek within an hours ride of Sid

are In sympathy with the freedom Of

Of outdoor life. She Is said to have In

father, who was famous frcighter be-
tween Sidney and the Black Hills in
the early days.
Since the death of her father the
young girl has taken personal supervl-
sion of the ranch. She has 5000 acres
of prairie and hundreds of head of cat
tie under her control and concerns her
self very little with spring styles Of
skirt or modes of headgear. Miss Pan
tenburg keeps tab on the markets and
does all the buying and selling for the

Miss Gordon was president of the
Women's Sewerage and Drainage
league of New Orleans. She collected
proxies from 300 woman taxpayers
who wanted better sewers, but were
timid about going to the polls, and she
spent election day in driving about

parts of the city, as every proxy vote
had to be cast in the precinct where

Mrs. Meader was born in Plattsburg,
n. Y, in 1917 and has been married
twice. Her oldest son, Edwin Cubley,
was one of the first settlers of Ravens

dent of the organization for two years,
her term having just expired.
On the occasion of her anniversary
celebration Mrs. Meader received many
congratulations from her friends on
having added nearly another score Of

New York's Pie Market.

More pies are made In New York
than in any other city In the world.
The daily output of the regular pie
factories is in excess of l25,000. The
pie baking record was held by Boston
until two years ago. The pie habit is
growing on New Workers.
The biggest pie factory in the coun-
try turns out 10000 pies a day. There
are scores of smaller factories which
turn them out by the carload daily.
The work is under the direction of an
expert baker, who receives a large sal
ary. These factories claim to use the
very best materials In making pies.
Until recently there was n prejudice
against factory pies, but this is disap-
pearing.
The most popular pie is that made of
apples. For years its popularity has
nT been shaken. The standard pies
next to apple are lemon and custard.
Pumpkin pies are in great demand In
the fall and mince pies In the winter.
Peach pies are the most popular after
these. Untf1 the factory made pie ap-
peared New York was several times
threatened with serious pie famines.
