coming state convention Of the Fed
Grated Woman's Clubs of Wisconsin,

which indicates that the program will
be the most interesting ever offered at
a convention of the Wisconsin club

held at the Simmons Library or Mon
day afternoon, and at this meeting
the advance notices of the program
were made public.
Leading club women from many of
the leading Western states have
promised to come to Kenosha and
give their aid in making the conven-
ton great success. At the meeting
of the committees on Monday letter
was received from the Mother Su-
perior in charge of Kemper Hall ask
ing that the delegates spend a part Of
one afternoon at the hall, when they
are to be the guests of the Sisters.
At this pleasant social event tea will
be served and vocal recital will be
given by Mrs. Helen Buckley Lee, of
Chicago.
The Kenosha Club for the first time
in the history of its connection with
the federation will have a speaker on
the program in the person of the Rev.
Florence Buck. Miss Buck has &C.
cepted the invitation of the Program
committee to speak on the subject,
,"What Shall We Demand of the
Novel" In this connection Miss
Buck will give some of her ideas OF
library work in the state and her ad.
dress will be one of the principal
speeches of the convention.
Added to this the Program commit
tee has arranged for Ground Table
conference on the subject, "The Re-
sponsibi1ities of Club Membership. -
This will be under the direction of
Mrs, Alfred Mitchell, of La Crosse,
one of the vice presidents of the fed

tiers of great practical interest to
Wisconsin cities will be taken up and

"The Danger of Cliques and Exclu-

of Superior, while Mrs. Henry M.
Youmans, of Waukesha, one of the
best known club women of the state

''Recompense of Official Positions. "
Among the women from other states
coming to Kenosha are Mrs. Evelyn
Foote, of Des Moines, Iowa, who will
come to deliver a lecture on the sub
ject: "The Ideal in Dress" This
lecture has gained for Mrs. Foote a
national reputation and it made such
a hit at the meeting of the Iowa Fed
GRAFTON that the members of the fed
Grafton decided to have lectures on
dress added to the curriculum of the
University Extension courses in the
state.
Another out of state speaker of note
is Mrs. Orvi11e T. Bright, wife of the
superintendent of schools in Chicago,
