Growth and Dignity of Women's Clubs of State

cisco district convention last December.
that the interest in civics is increasing
wonderfully. This is the natural trend
of the feminine mind finding itself on
a larger scale. Domesticity has been
one of the most amiable and beloved
of womanly attributes from the begin
ming and careful housekeeping and care
of children are two of the hall marks.
Civics have to do principally with the
cleaning and putting in order not only
of the house but of the streets, the
roads and the country side at large and
with the laws governing the care of
the children of the street. the schools
and of the poor. So it is simply a sign
that the womanly instincts refuse to be
longer confined within doors, but must
be applied abroad as well.
Although many of the prominent
club women of the city were at the
state Federation Convention held dur
ing the past week at Bakersfield, there
has been by no means dearth of hap
penings in the club world during that
time, and one of the most enjoyable of
these meetings was that of the Laurel
Hall Club. which took place wednes-
day afternoon at Calvary Church. An
entertaining talk was given by Mrs.
Adolphus Graupner, president of the
collegiate alumnae. on Some Phases of
the College Education OF women" AS
Mrs. Graupner is herself a university
graduate and was always interested
deeply in the affairs of the life and ac-
tfvities of college women. she Is es-
ipecially capable of speaking on such a
subject and gave her hearers an In

Saleswoman Defends

Editor OF The Ca11-Dear sir: On
February 8 there appeared in the col
umns of The Call. under the caption OF
'The Insider," an article entitled
Counter snob Did Not Sell Dishes"
That article claims that we, as sales
people. Judge customers mine times

there to sell merchandise. Every per-
son that comes TO us is a prospective
customer until they are dead. because
we rely largely upon come backs
who remember and return TO buy an
other time. That is how we keep up
our average. how we gain promotion.
1t stands to reason that a clerk would
rather make a large sale than a small
one, and would not withhold fine goods
to sell cheaper ones. It is conceded by
merchants generally-and salespeopls
are given to understand from the be-
ginning-that they must not mar Il
sale by showing high priced goods drst.
OFTEN the customer having refined taste
is not In position to purchase the best

that the study of mathematics Is often
pursued--for the mental exercise and

the world that require thought and

upon rare occasions. To sum up the

convention was in the federation spirit,

spot was shown in some of the thirty

committee at the close of the session.

r T is said by those who attended the
various State Federation of Wom-
ems Clubs conventions that the one
in Bakersfield during the past week
was one of the most successful and
instructive meetings that has been held
by the club women of this State. The
special papers were both interesting
and worth while, addresses having been
delivered by G. B. Lull, State Forester;
c. p. Nelson, \ the artist; Professor
Dresslar of the University of Califpr-
mia; Garnet Holme, of the dramatic de-
partment of the State University; G. H.
Shinn. Forest Supervisor; w. Almont
Gates Secretary of the State Board of
Charities and Correction, and John p
Irish. There were also special papers
by women of the federation. notably
Mrs. w. N Sherman of Fresno and
Mrs. E. l.. Baldwin of this city, the
first being interested in household eco
noniics and the latter in civics. An in
teresting development in the rather
new life of federated womanhood Is the
little note of conservatism and eau
ton which is creeping in and asserting
itself. This was voiced admirably by
the far seeing ex-president, Mrs. Robert
Potter Hill. who, in her final address,
warned club women against too enthu-
tsiastic partisanship of too many things.
She said that the power of their organ.
ization is growing with greater rapidity
than they themselves have realized, and
this influence which they can WELD is
a dangerous thing unless care is exer-
cised. There are many projects
which will be put forth and which they
will be asked to indorse which may
be great detriment to their federation.
