The Minnesota club women who Will
attend the biennial are asked to- send
at once for the labels for their bag
gage and not wait until the eleventh
hour. The baggage committee has Sc
| cured from the president Of the st.
Paul Union Depot company, promise
that all biennial baggage will be de;
that such baggage is plainly labelled SO
that it can Be easily identified. For
this purpose, the committee will send
out red. labels, six inches long by two
inches wide to be pasted on all baggage
marked for ST. Paul biennial. on the
labels will be printed, Convention e..
+. W. c., st. Paul.
The chairman of this committee wish
es to emphasize the necessity Of using
these labels, as the regular baggage
room is so crowded with the usual traf-
fc at this time Of the year as to make
prompt delivery impossible, if these ad-
ditional trunks get into the regular bag
gage room. Every effort will be made
to get the labels into the hands of all
prospective biennial attendants If,
however, some should find themselves
overlooked and the time Is too short to
send for other labels, the chairman sug-
gests that they improvise q label for
the purpose. Use a strip Of red paper
not less than t7 n six *, INCHES e long and = put
W. G., ST. Paul. = Paste the labels on
the ends of the trunks and cases. + a. j

| By an unfortunate Typographical er
ror, the tickets which have been al
ready printed and sent out bear tn
