An especial honor has been conveyed
upon the clubwomen of California. and

appointment of Mrs. E. L. Baldwin of
this city as member of the civic com
mittee of the General Federation or
women's Clubs. The first meeting OF
the executive board of the General
Federation since the biennial last
spring was held at Saratoga, N. Y,
September 20-24, and at that time the
general committees were appointed The
civic committee consists of four mem
bers besides the chairman, who is
Miss Mary Knox Garvin of Philadelphia
and who is a member of the executive
board. Mrs. Baldwin will be the mem
Der to represent the States of this part
of the country.
California has never had such recog-
milton from the General Federation un-
til this year, but the reports which
went on from here to the biennial were
so good, and particularly in regard to
the work done here in civics, OF which
department Mrs. Baldwin was chair
man, that especial mention was made
of them, and now comes this recog-
milton of Mrs. Baldwin's ability, which
is particularly gratifying to the club
women throughout the State. who know
of her excellent work.
The Year Book of the California Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs for 1906-07
has just been sent out and proves to be
remarkably interesting volume to
clubwomen and those in sympathy with
their work. 1t is rather astonishing,
too, to those not versed in the ways of
clubs to see the amount of serious work
accomplished during the past year, as
told in the reports from the various
officials of the organizations which are
scattered from the Oregon to the Mexi-
can State lines. Much valuable in
formation as to clubs, their officers,
| their work and location is to be gained
as well from this complete and pleasing
little book.
