Biennial Plans.
The local committee for the enter
Z tainment of the biennial met last week
+ at the Commercial club and committees
j were appointed to look after the ar
fangements for the pleasure of the del
! egates on Minneapolis day. Mines. II.
s. Birch, G. s. Wallace and W. P. Shat
tuck were appointed on the committee
/ for refreshments; Mines. w. W. Sykes
and Mart M. Hit, decorations; Mrs. W.
Q. Fryberger, music; Mrs. E: NJ. La Pc

It is expected that over l, 200 women
] will be the guests of the Minneapolis
I club women on Minneapolis day. It
! will require quite a sum of money to
/ carry out the plans that have been pro-
| posed, but nothing definite can be de-
| eided on until the clubs. have, all been
/ heard from. Minneapolis women have
q lot of civic pride and they want the
/ in manner beftting the city. The
! clubs have been rather slow in re-
/ spending to the tax that has been made
/ so cents for every club woman, and
j it is hoped that they will attend to the
matter before the April meeting so that
a full report may be made at the dis
trict gathering. Mrs. II. S. Birch, 40s
! sessments.
AS there are to be just eleven recep
/ lions given in St. Paul for the biennial
! visitors, Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker, the
general president, suggested that that
/ feature be eliminated from Minneapolis
( day, and in consequence the local en-
2tertainment will include a happy restful
/ day. at romantic Minnehaha, an object
Of interest to every visitor, and troll
! ley ride. The. st. Paul women have
planned an automobile ride to the Town
i and Country club that morning and
I, will convey the guests to Minnehaha,
where every club president of the dis
trict will be on the Minneapolis recep-
ton committee, and aid in making the
the pavilion will be prettily decorated
so that Minneapolis day sounds very
attractive as it has been planned.
There will be little excitement over
i the election of the chief executive of
the General Federation Of Women 5
clubs at the biennial in st. Paul, fol-
it is generally understood that Mrs
Sarah Platt Decker Of Denver, Col, will
succeed herself and be given the honor
of a second term. While Mrs. Decker
would doubtless welcome the relief from
the tremendous responsibility of the Pc
sitlon, she is too generous woman tt
= 1efuso whet will probably be Offered
her without a dissenting voice. Con
sequently no time will be lost in select
ing president.
Mrs. Decker has grown more popular
every day that she has been in office
and she has guided the federation work
with marked ability and wisdom.
There will be about thirty in the
North Dakota delegation to the St. Pau
biennial. Their hotel headquarters will
be at the Eleanor. The Indiana delega
ton, as well as that from Ohio, ha
made headquarters at the Willard hotel
Miss Louise B. Poppenheim, CORE
spending secretary Of the general fed
grafton, writes that large delegation
penheim, as corresponding secretary
will be in St. Paul little earlier thar
the other southern women, as it is he
duty to seat the delegates in the con
vention hall. This is difficult tasl
and an unenviable one, as all the seat.
IN a convention hall are never equally
good, and no delegation can see JUS
why it was given the worst seats.
The Ohio state federation will hav,
fourteen delegates and as many alter
mates as state representatives, and fifty
or more delegates from the clubs hold
ing individual membership in the gen
eral federation.
