New Century Club women are more
interested at present in the coming
Federation of Women's Clubs in Los
Angeles than most anything else, and
though the Wilmington party has not
yet been made up, it is likely that this
city will be well represented at the
notable gathering in the Golden State.
Aside from the meetings proper OF
the federation. there will be many
other features provided for the interest
and entertainment of the visiting club
women.
Mrs. J. e. Cowles. as president OF
the biennial local board, will dispense
hospitalities, and while there is no so
cial committee and only one official
receptiOn-this out of Difference to the
wishes of the national committee-the
Los Angeles club women will entertain
generously in a private way. The En-
tertainment Committee has planned
two complimentary excursions, one OF
which is to Mount Lowe. The special
contribution of California club women
to the program, moreover, is musical
evening, at which time will be heard
| the best musical talent on the coast.
Particularly pleasing is the announce
ment that Los Angeles men are to give
an elaborate flower fete in honor OF
the visiting club women, a similar
courtesy never before having been prof
ferred by men of the convention city.
The sessions devoted to forestry and
the Audubon movement with Mrs. r.
p. Mumford, of Philadelphia, and Mrs.
j. u Illick. of Burlington, Iowa, as
chairmen. will interest that large class
OF women who love-and seek to pro-
ltect-trees and birds.
This will be of deep interest to the
| Wilmington women, particularly as
Mrs. Mumford is so well known here.
Among the other familiar figures at
the national convention will be Mrs.
John w. Kendrick, Jr., of PHILADELPHIA.
who as corresponding secretary has
doubtless written at least one letter TO
levery club woman in the country dur
ing the last two years. Mrs. Edward
| II. Buchwalter. of Springfield. Ohio,
one OF the national directors, will be in
attendance. Indeed. this woman. as
chairman of the Biennial Committee
