1t was with real reluctance that the
dwellers in the tented city of Lincoln
park turned their backs upon it and
went back to roofs and walls. The 10
day session proved a popular innovation,
and the time is to be duplicated next
year.
The club women look upon the work
done at this place with a great deal OF
pleasure, as It witnessed the beginning
Of a movement to establish permanent
homes for the club department at these
assemblies. The building at Lincoln
park IS an assured fact now: the only
thing to consider is the size which II
viii be possible to build It IS to be
galow style, and viii surely prove an
attractive piece Of property.
K 1t Is never the policy OF the state FED
GRAFTON to assess the clubs Of the state,
nor to lay anything Of this kind upon
them as a duty, but any club wishing
70 help in this work viii have the op
portunity to do so. and donations Of any
size sent to the committee viii be
thankfully received. As this building IS
to belong to the federation, any such
gift is virtually a gift to the federation,
while it helps directly in this great edu-
cationaI work.
A number Of clubs are already plan
ming to help by giving art exhibits, for
this building, and others are to give
socials. etc. This is but the commence
ment of this work, for buildings are al
ready planned for other Chautauqua
assemblies, and when the club women Of
the south and east are ready to build
club houses, they will find the women
Of the north and west ready to return
