Miss Lily A. Long, who is chair
man of the press committee of the 10
cal biennial board, is a western wo-
man, born in st. Paul and educated
in the public schools of Minnesota and
at the University of Wisconsin. h
has a growing reputation as an author,
and has published two novels, Squire
of Low Degree and apprentices to
Destiny" and is a frequent contribu-
tor of short stories and poems to the
magazines. One of her stories,
"Mayne's Lady of Dreams" appears
in the March number Of Harper's. Her
chief interests are along literary and
philosophical lines, n her fayorite
authors are Emerson and Browning.
Miss Long believes in clubs as a
powerful factor in the individual de-
velopment of women, feeling that they
obtain there the same sort Of human
education" that men get from contact
with other men in business. she
draws the line at card clubs, however,
and says that, if Grover Cleveland had
confined his structures to bridge and
euchre clubs, she would have no quar-
rel with him. Anything that helps
a woman to be more deeply alive,
more interested in impersOnal Ques-
tons. will make her more valuable as
a wife and mother and friend" she
says: and she considers that q club
affords the most available and IN many
cases the only practicable means for
bringing this impersonal interest into
the routine Of busy women's lives

The new year books lave probably
been received by this time. The ex-
ecutfve board regretted very much that
these could not be sent prepaid 10
each club. Had h clubs remembered
that our dues should be paid IN jan
uary there would have been sufncient
funds in the treasury for this and all
other expenses, but as so many have
delayed their payments, 1t was deemed
wisest to ask n club to pay express
on their books this year. though we
nope by the time we issue another
book to send it prepaid. Just
here I will interpose a notice received
from Mrs. Asher, and ask that all
clubs, whether district or state, give
it their attention at once If they have
not already RENTED dues:
THE state treasurer has sent notice
to all district, city, and county fed
eratiOns, and all clubs known to be
directly federated with the state or
ganization, and many have responded
promptly.
But attention is again called to the
fact that payments were due in jan
uary and the treasurer desires TO close
her books for the year before the May
meeting. Any club or individual Will
receive attention If I am notified that
they wish to secure delegate cards by
payment Of dues. The Fifth district
is especially to be commended for a
most satisfactory and useful report Of
ali its lubs with amount Of dues col
1ected from each club and remittance
in full.
MRS. H. b. ASHER, Treasurer
This is much to the credit Of Mrs.
Catherine Hoffman, the president of
the Fifth district, and her efficient
treasurer, Mrs. Elizabeth Scot of Her
