hall and the patio addition it is believed
that ample room will be provided for this
opening biennial function.
Los Angeles has besides the woman's
clubhouse, Ebell, built by Mrs. Robert j.
Burdette, and the building belonging to
the Cumnock School of Oratory built by
Mrs. Grigg, the whole lower floor of which
is given to clubs. This floor will be &C.

STYLE after Shakspere's home and is both
finished and furnished in the quaint old
English manner.
The Ebell. upon Broadway, is in the
form Of Greek temple, and its hospit-
able doors will also be thrown open dur
ing the entire week to the visiting club
women.
Pasadena also has a beautiful club
home, erected in 1898 for the Shakspere
club by Miss Susan H. sticl1ney. me-
mortal building for much-loved sister.
This structure is built after the manner
of Ann Hathaway's cottage, and has a
beautiful old English garden attached.
The beamed ceilings, paneled and vain

with the general style of the exterior.
The furnishings are also old fashioned
and harmonious.

The popularity OF golf and tennis at St.
Augustine and Palm Beach. of riding and
golf at Aiken. has been the occasion for
the creation of a number of very smart
sporting costumes. Scarcely day passed
during the late winter and early spring
that tho fashionable tailors and shirt
makers were not overwhelmed with orders
from the south for this particular sort of
goods. SO that now the styles for the
coming summer are more we'll defined
| than is usually the case at this time of
! year.
! There seems to he more of demure
sedateness about the generality of these
costumes than hitherto: in fact. many of
! the suits are so trim and quiet that they
| can be readily used as a pedestrian suit
! for the early spring The skirts are trig,
smart affairs that fit most perfectly about
! the hips, and sometimes have ripple ef-
! feet around the bottom, but in others the
slight fulness is secured by the cores.
Whatever the cut Of the skirt it is almost
! Invariably finished at. the bottom with
! row upon row of machine stitching. The
| Jackets are the nattiest little ones, Of
! either the blouse or eton shapes, and
some Of them are the smartest little Nor
! folk affairs conceivable.
D. The tailor-made girl is certainly in her
| element this spring with such an array
! of hobby suits, coats and separate skirts
| to choose from. It is truly an embar-
rsssment Of riches. One must have at
! least three gol6ng costumes, each one
suitable to a different temperature. while
the number Of skirts can only be limited
| by the extern of ones dress allowance,
and the variety of becoming colors. The
all-round useful suit may be of the light
weight wool mixtures, tweeds or cheviots.
then there are the covert su1tings that
are always so particularly we'll adapted
for such costumes. But the novelty par
excellence is the black taffeta skirt
stitched with white. A stunning tweed
mixture, and one that is a most decided
novelty, is the sea- green suit. The jack
ct is of modified norfolk shape. the
plaits starting from pointed yoke in the

also most stylish, and the various shades
of blue can never be relegated to the back
ground; they are too intensely becom-

The first of the two Minnesota parties

The first Of the two Minnesota parties
which will go to Los Angeles to attend
the general federation meeting will leave
on Thursday and the second on Saturday.
There have been many changes in the list
of delegates but the state representation
of eleven delgates will be represented.
Besides these there will be a considerable
number of Minnesota club women who
will go to California for the convention,
while others already there will be sup
piled with credentials by their home clubs
and will enjoy the benefits of the meet
ing.
"A special point that all visiting club
women will do we'll to heed is that they
must have credentials from their clubs in
order to secure admission to any of the
meetings. These credentials will merely
certify to the fact the holder is mem
Der in good standing of a federated club.
The one formal reception is to be held
in the Woman's Clubhouse. The club
house is very beautiful building, almost
ideal in construction, yet charming in it's
simplicity. The building is representa-
tive of the type known as Mission archi-
lecture, the result of the adoption of the
Renaissance style of southern Europe to
the material and workmanship of the Mis-
sion builders.
1t is enclosed on two sides by arcades
rooted with Spanish terra Gotta tile, and
has a south dormer and flower balcony
The rooted arcades form very delightful
promenades. The furnishings of the in
terror are all in harmony with the Mis-
sion style. Heavily beamed ceilings, walls
of cathedral sand finish, polished floors,
and unbroken window lights all lend
| themselves to make the clubhouse most
attractive.
Parlors, reception rooms, assembly hall,
banquet rooms, library, etc., etc, all
handsomely furnished, serve most admira-
bly, for receptions, parties, teas, balls and
the various functions held in this building.
For the biennial the grounds of the
patio and the arcades are to be enclosed
with canvas and beautifully decorated
with bamboo, palms and flowers so thai
the whole will form part of the club in.

KEEPING YIOLETS REsH

Now that violets are ler becomes a
question how best to keep t. corsage bou-
quet fresh for more than one t..y, since these
flowers droop easily in warn, rooms and
exchange their delicate odor for one SUCCESS
tive OF decay. If they are simply put in a
glass of water over night, says the New York
Post by morning they will be quite spoiled
If, however, they are put in rather large
deep bowl in cool place-the floor of the
sleeping-room under the open window is suit
able-and a large newspaper saturated with
water is put over them balloon shape so
that the air is excluded. they will come out
the next day almost as fresh as though fresh
ly gathered. With this hydrophatic treat
ment bunch of the lovely flowers may be
worn for several successive days, which, con
sidering their expense, is something to be
remembered.

STARTING THE GARDEN.

Remember that stocks and pansies need to
be transplanted as soon as they have four
leaves, unless they've plenty of room to grow.
Three pansy roots in a pot that measures
four inches across the top is about right, but
for the same sized pot livestock is enough,
says the Philadelphia Ledger. And do you
know that pansies planted near the sides OF
the pots do better than if they're planted in
the middle? Remember it when you're trans
planting: If you haven't any room to trans
plant the seedlings, pull up the weakest look
ing ones and throw them away, so as to give
the healthy ones plenty of room.

Journal. The information is this: have a
fine shepherd dog that is peculiarly af-
fected and / want some Of the readers
of the dear old Journal to give me rem
edy for same. 1 will give symptoms of
disease:
l. The dog begins vomiting, and then
after one or two days vomiting he quits
and begins to foam at the mouth.
His tongue is very red. also has no
use of tongue after two or three days.
He walks very much drawn up in the
back. He shows no signs of being mad.
He cannot eat or drink after three or
four days. Please give remedy for same
through your valuable Semi-Weekly
Journal, to which 1 am a subscriber.
Answer-Your dog doubtless has
stomach trouble as evidenced by vomiting,
condition of tongue, etc. A teaspoonful of
pulverized copperas placed inside a piece
of meat and given the diseased dog every
two or three days would cure the trouble,
A small ball Of tar forced down the dogs
throat would also prove beneficial.

1.-THE government canteen lowers the
conscience standard of both officers and
men. 1t inculcates tolerance of the vice
of drinking. The government canteen
doctrine is dangerous to inculcate into the
minds of hundreds of thousands of young
men destined to return to citizenship, and
be fathers of children of the future re-
public. 1t will result In undoing the best
work OF these days. The business success
of the canteen gained the adherence Of
many who did not seriously consider their
moral influence.
1.-THE sound policy of the government
on the question is, in my opinion, not to
put itself athwart the doctrine of the
churches and the home, and undo the
cherished work of parents and Christian
workers, but to buttress in every way
