Fanny Rico Got. !. Pointer.

Fanny Rice, whose act this season
is creating so much interest in vaude-
vile circles, has a little daughter
named Edith, who is wintering in the
south of Florida, where Miss Rice has
some Indian River property next to
that of Charles Jefferson, son OF Jo-
seph Jefferson.
This little lassie bids fair to follow
in her mothers footsteps, if dramatic
temperament, with ability to mimic,
and large imagination, are Indications.
Whenever refused anything which
she thought she wanted, like most
children, she used to cry for it. Even
at the age of five, she must have men
tally analysed the manner of produc-
ing tears. On one occasion, when
her German nurses little girl wanted
something that her mother refused
her. Edith said to her:
why don't you cry for it, and you'll
get it quick"
"T can't cry unless I'm hurt" said
the other child.

Club Women. Convention.


Club women who are expecting to
attend the sixth biennial of the gen.
eral federation of women's clubs,
which meets in Los Angeles the first
week in May, are particularly inter
ested In the fact that many railroads
east Of Chicago have practically de-
termined to give round trip rate
from any given point for one-way
fare; the roundtrip rate between
Chicago and Los Angeles on each
transcontinental line has been fixed
at $50. Therefore, the exact amount
OF railroad fare can be easily esti-
mated.
The time limit on these round-trip
tickets-two months-will give visit
ors an opportunity for some sightsee-
ing after the biennial meetings are
over and one delightful excursion dur
ing biennial week is already ar
ranged.
This will be given May 7, compli-
n entary to all officers, delegates and
the program committee. This out
Ing, requiring only the greater part OF
one day, will nevertheless afford
unique opportunity for comprehen-
sive glimpse of the southern country
and a view of the Pacific.
