OMINATIONS
ARE MADE BY
CLUB WOMEN
BY Sally Sharp.

Every able bodied California Club
woman wended her way to the club
rooms yesterday to see that her friend.
her friends friend-or herself-was
treated properly in the distribution of
club honors, for know ye all that IL
was nomination day, and it comes to
us with the fine rarity of Easter
and note the result-a full house of
women with but one purpose-to put
up a ticket, or, two tickets-that
would embody the feminine graces, So
cial, mental, moral and physical and
instructive, that are looked upon as
essential attributes in club officers.
Not that the club always gets them,
however-for there are always some
misfits to be found in every club.
Mrs. George Law Smith on opening
the meeting declared nominations
open for president. whereupon Mrs.
J. w: Orr was placed in nomination,
followed closely by Mrs. Aylett Cotton.
A few other nominations were
strangled in birth by the recipients of
the honor declining and nominations
were closed with these two ladies in
the field.
Nominations for first vice president
followed. punctuated by: another batch
of bashful declinations,. expressed in
more or less diplomatic terms. which
resulted in the nomination of Dr..
Dorothea Moore and Mrs. Sara
Reimer.
Second vice honors We're received by
Mrs. Dorothea Harnden, Mrs. A. w.
Scott. Mrs. George Folsom. More
destinations. .
Then the nominations for trustees.
were next in order-herein lie mainly
the legislative, executive and judicial
powers of the. club-hence the vitality
that seized upon the club when this
matter came up. 1t was seized so vio-
lently with interest that the ,presi-
dent was forced TO beat tattoo on her
table with her little hammer, and even
theri-we1l. they. still chartered. albeit
the persausiveness of the. most .tactful
and: disciplinary president in all club
DOM. .--:.
After more declinaticns- which by.
this time had become epidemic-the
following ladies were placed in nomi-@
nation. who when elected will pro-
ceed~ to elect the secretaries, and the
club treasurer. Mrs. Arthur n. Corn
wall, Mrs. Aaron Schloss, Mrs. Horace
Coffin, Mrs. J. J. Scoville; Mrs. Charles
Warren. Mrs. Lorin Barnes, Mrs.
Emma Hunt, Mrs H. H Fassett, Miss
Susanne. Patch. Miss Nell II. Cole,
Mrs. V. s. Bradley and Mrs. c. Mason
Kinne.'
From this number eight will be
elected in May-and right merrily will
the canvassing for support go on.
