The ninth annual convention of the
Wisconsin Federation of Woman's
Clubs came to close here last night,
the closing feature of the convention
being delightful interpretative re-
cita1 of Gas You Like It." given by
c. Adele Rankin of Waukesha. The
music for the final session was furn-
ished by Mrs. George Bolton of Ra-
cine, who sang four songs in very
charming manner.
The business of the convention was
practically completed at the after
noon session and all that remained
for the evening session was the pass
ing of few resolutions and the
final adieus. However, few of the
delegates left for their homes during
the afternoon and most of them re-
manned until this morning. Many in
formal social events had been ar
ranged for the delegates last night
and there were number of dinners.
The conclusion of the club work
Under such successful management is
matter of great satisfaction to the
women of Kenosha who have acted
as hostesses for the annual gather
ing. In every way the meeting has
been the most enthusiastic ever held
by the federation. There has been
complete harmony in the work, and
the only ripple of the convention was
the little trouble caused by the sup.
posed slap at the First District FEEDER
alton and this was happily settled be-.
fore the end of the afternoon session
by the passing of resolution provid-
ing for the revising of the constitu-
ton and bylaws. This action was
due to the splendid diplomacy of
Mrs. Charles S. Morris of Berlin, who
suggested such course of action to
the delegates of the First District as
a panacea for the wrongs which they
felt. This will mean much for the
future of the federation as the consti-
tuition now in use has long since out
worn its usefulness and it has been so
punctured by amendments that it is
no longer practical working charter.
Mrs. Morris is pretty well aware of
what changes the club women of the
state will desire, and when the new
constitution is presented at the con-
vention next year it will undoubtedly
! correct many of these difficulties.
President Sawyer will name the two
women who will cooperate with Mrs.
Morris in her work.

void of any sensational work, but the
women returned to their homes with
many new ideas and with the lesson
of more practical work firmly inbed-
ded in their minds. The fact that
there was no election of officers this
year in measure took away the most
interesting feature of the convention
work, but the delegates spent quite a
little time discussing the possible
nominations for next year. In this
connection the names of Miss Harriet
M. Holcomb of Fond du Lac, Mrs.
c. A. Emerson of Be1oit, and Mrs.
Frank E. Noyes of Marinette, have
been mentioned. All three are now
officers of the Federation, Mrs. Emer-
son being the first in line as First
vice president.
1t is thought probable that the next
session of the Federation will be held
at Beloit or Stevens Point. Both
clubs have been suggested, but
neither has issued direct invitation.
It is understood, however, that either
city would be pleased to take the re-
sponsibility of entertaining the club
women.
This matter will be, taken up by the
board of directors at the meeting to
be held in February next, as by the
amendment passed on Wednesday the
board will have full power to name
the place and date for the next con-
vention.
