club having a Harvest Home, the
Atlas club a social afternoon and the
West Side Shakespeare club an evening
with Hawthorne, and the Homer club
met with Mrs. Frank E. Shaw instead
of at the rooms of the Business Mems
association. The club women generally
are discussing the library question; that
is whether they will be allowed to use
the art room again for all the clubs to
meet in as in the good days of yore
Now that the arrlory is contiScated for
the use of the library they have hopes
for they were told last year that when
that was accomplished they could have
the art room again. Although the ger.
eral federation meeting National Fed
e~ration) does not take place until May
the clubs are already discussing dele
gates. Some of the women who could best
represent their clubs are unable to go or
do not feel justified in going to the
expense. 1t convenes in Los Angeles
There are hundreds of able women who
are available, however. A Chicago paper
says on it's club page that all arrange
ments as far as the board of directors
go, have been completed. Among the
things which will help entertain the club
women is a Chinese parade and a festt-
val of flowers, similar to one given
for President Mckinley. They will all
be taken one day to the resort of Santa
Monica to view the Pacific. Another
day there will be an excursion to Pasa-
Nena so the club women can see the
Mount Lowe observatory there. The
Railroads of Chicago have made a rate
already OF $62.5 for the round trip,
tickets good for GO days, and 1t is prob
able the railroads here, and. in fact, all
pver the United States, will offer similar
inducements.
Tuesday afternoon the Butte Fedora.
fion of Women's clubs met at the rooms
of Mrs. A. H. Whitcher, in the Lenox.
Many matters of importance were dis
cussed and the president, Mrs. r. W.
Buzzo, appointed committees to act on
several matters. A letter was read from
the state president of the Missouri Fed.
GRAFTON, and in it she asked that Mon.
tana send a delegate to the meeting to
be held in January to take action on
the st. Louis exposition. The choice OF
the federation fell on Mrs. NJ. Trout
man, a prominent club woman Of Jop-
lin, Missouri. who is a member of the
Woman's club Of Butte.
