Are you going to the biennial?'' "wil
you 20 tourist or the other way?" Are
you going with the state delegates, or on
the second train7" are the inevitable ques-
lions enc hears when more than two club
women get together. In the meantime the
state corresponding secretary is busy an
swering questions from all parts Of the
state regarding the special trains. their &C
commodations and other matters.
As yet the personnel of either delegation
Is too indefinite for announcement, but in
quiries are being received from a surpris-
ingly large number of women over the state
and the party promises to be as large, IL
not larger. than that which attended the
Milwaukee meeting. A number of women
will not go on either OF the specials. but
will go in twos and threes over the central
routes. 9
While some complaint has been made OF
the executives choice Of the Santa Fe as
the official route, the women feel that In
justice to all IL was the wisest selection
that could have been made, as 1t gives the
delegates a diversity of routes, enabling
them to return by the central and northern
lines during the warm weather. The party
is to be one OF club women, the trains to
be composed Of from seven to nine cars
each. The first train leaves Omaha at 10: 30
Thursday evening, April "a, and at Kansas
City will meet the delegations from Iowa,
Missouri Minnesota, Wisconsin and part OF
Kansas. This will admit Of . general &C
quaintance Among the women Of the middle
west and the discussion Of many matters OF
common interest before the biennial is
reached.
1t should be thoroughly understood tina
the round trip rate of s45 includes all
points in Nebraska within 200 miles OF
Omaha and that the sleeping car rate oil
$11.5O for Pullman and IS for tourist, in
cludes the entire going trip. The state
officers are as yet undecided whether they
will go tourist or in the Pullman, their de-
cision will be based upon the inclination
of the majority of the members Of the
party.
