WOMEN MEET IN ST. PAUL.
CMb Members Begin Session Which
May Simplify Organization.

ST. Paul May SO-women from all parts OF
the United States arrived in ST. Paul to-day to at
tend the General Federation of Womens Clubs,
which will begin a weeks convention here tonight
At the Ryan Hotel the general president, Mrs.
Sarah PIatt Decker met the board of directors this
morning. A meeting of the executive council was
arranged for this afternoon in the old Capitol build
ing. One question that is likely to come up will be
a proposed change in the organization. which at
present is rather complicated. Some of the clubs
belong directly to the General Federation without
being members OF state federation. while
others belong to the state federations. all OF
which are members of the General Federation.
Sometimes district federatons and other combina-
tions of clubs have membership in the General Fed
Grafton. At the convention each state federation
has certain number of delegates and the clubs
and district federations which have direct mem
bershp send delegates in proportion to their size.
The plan proposed is TO have each club belong
10 the district federation, which usually corre-
spends to the boundaries of the Congress dis
trict, then have each district federation as a
unit in the state federation and each state fed
Grafton a unit in the General Federation. This
would simplify the organization considerably and
would make the apportonment of the representa-
ton in the convention an easier matter
The formal opening of the convention will take
place tonight the National Guard Armory at the
corner of 9Th and Exchange streets, where all the
meetings will be held This meeting will consist al
together of addresses of welcome. Miss Margaret ].
Evans. dean of the woman's department Of Carrie
ton college, will deliver the Invocation Mrs Julia
Ward Howes Battle Hymn of the Republic will
be sung by the convention, and then Governor
Johnson Mayor Smith and others will make ad-
dresses. Mrs Decker. president of the General
Federation will respond

A. P (Brookyn): Can you give the so-called
mathematical standard Of beauty?
On account Of the difference in tastes no uni
form standard OF physical beauty can be estab-
lished. According 10 some authorities. however
the normally built body requires the following PRO-
portions: Length OF the body. seven and half TO
eight times the length of the head nine times the
length Of the hand, six 10 seven times the length
OF the foot. The breadth Of the temples should be
equa! TO the length Of the face the breadth Of the
shoulders double the length Of the face The arm,
must be three times as long the head and the
the face, the forehead should be as long as the
nose, as long as mouth and chin taken together
as long as the ear. The mouth should be one
half larger than the eye. Another important ones-
