The Los Angeles club women have evil
IDENTIFY made up their minds to spare no
effort to make the sixth biennial meeting
of the general Federation of Women's
Clubs a success. The following are ex-
tracts from the second press letter sent
out by Mrs. Isabel Bates Winslow and
Mrs. Margaret r. Sartori:
The sixth biennial meeting of the gen
eral Federation of WOmen's Clubs will
be held in Los Angeles the first week in
May.
Club women are wide awake women
and many wide awake people are now
turning their eyes towards California.
The thought of a visit to no other Sec
ton of the United States could arouse the
same delightful thrills of expectancy as
are now agaitating the hearts of thou
sands Of women to whom a visit to Cal
fornia has been the one dream Of life.
About the City of Angels clings a flavor
of the foreign, subtle arena of mystery
and romance Women love romance and
pursue it. And they are not only expert
encing pleasurably keen sensations; they
are reaching out for a vast deal of IRac-
t1cal information such as How shall we
go, how long may we stay, how much
is it going to COST and the old question
-womans inevitable-since Eve took to
fig leaves-'fWhat shall we wear?"
While the women of the North, East,
South and great Middle West are antic-
1pattng, looking up routes, rates and
guide books, the women of Los Angeles
are making ready for their act of hospi-
tally.
The time selected for the biennial meet
ing-from May to May Sis particular
ly suspicious. The fastener associate
May with apple blossoms and wild flow
ers, but in California these evidences of
spring have by this time long passed
away The winter rains, which deck
foothills and canyon with wild bloom, are
we'll over and the full exuberance of
summer is everywhere in evidence. May
is the month of of riOfO1S garden
growth, of faultless days and glorious
nights.
But the club woman whose imagination
is dwelling upon CALIFORNIA; wonders
and what she is going to see during the
scant two months Of the time limit which
has been placed upon reduced-rate round
trip tickets, would best recall her gaOg-
raphy That there is a great nisappre-
hension in regard to the magnificent dis
tances in California among Fasteners
is evidenced by letter from a promi-
nent club woman, who. in referring to
possible pleasure excursions (Which she
terms side trips'') to be taken from Los
Angeles--presumably in one of the two
half days allotted by the programme COM
mittee for sightseeing during biennial
week-she suggested a visit to the big
trees"
1t is well to remember that, although
there is telephone communication, San
Francisco is nearly 500 miles from Los
Angeles and that it takes nearly as long
to compass the distance as to go from
new 4Orh TO CHlCdSO, also InaI the giant
1edwoods which attract visitors are more
than 400 miles from the City Of the Ans
gels.
There are, however, many delightful
side trips from Los Angeles. The use of
special cars has already been rendered

delegates for making some of these little

Many questions have been asked in re-

SHOULD bring. and since the comfort and

Even CALIFORNIA; climate Is not infa1li-
BILE and weather surprises are often in
store, but such clothing as is usually
vorn in the spring and fall in New York,
Boston and Chicago will be found suit
able. A lightweight tailor suit cotton
waists, silk or wool for cooler days and
heavy wrap-Which must by no means
be forgotten-will insure perfect comfort.
