Federation of women's Clubs,
which is to be held at Santa Clara,
where the meeting is held at the In
vitation of the Women's Club of that
town. The convention will last two
days. Tuesday and Wednesday. and the
programmes for all OF the sessions are
crowded so full of all manner of good
and interesting things that it seems
rather an impossibility to those not
versed in such matters that half Of
them can be given. Women have be-
come so business-like in their meth
DDS of procedure of late, however. that
one may depend upon all arrange
ments having been carefully planned
and timed beforehand so that every
thing goes on as though run by clock
work. All manner OF plans for the
comfort and convenience of the visiting
delegates have been made by the Santa
Clara clubwomen, who have con-
verted their local clubrooms into rest
and dressing rooms for the guests and
will serve tea there A committee will
meet all trains with carriages and
those arriving will be conveyed to the
convention hall or to lodgings. As an
additional proof of the thougthfulness
