Continued From Last Week.
After telling you OF Friday GU
play day" and giving a brie
synopsis of the Forestry session,
shall say as the state president said
And the rest of the program is very
very good.
When the General Federation
meets one day is always set aside FOL
recreation and is called the "pla.
day" AT this biennial, Friday wal
the day and Newport, r. T., the play
ground, with the State Federation o.
Women's Clubs Of Rhode Island al
our hostess. Rhode Islands hospi
| tally took the form of clam bake
one of the states institutions known
as such throughout the country and
the ease with which the Rhode
Island ladies handled this Immense
clambake" was phenomenal.
A special TRAN consisting OF two
sections Of 10 cars each left South
station after o'clock, carrying
about 1900 passengers.
Arriving at Newport, carriages
were awaiting us and took us for q
drive through the famous streets Of
Newport and passing the homes OF
the multi-millionaires, who make
their summer residence there, the
drive ended at customs beach, where
the clambake dinner was served at
1 o'clock: 1t would be impossible to
tell you all Of the accomplishments OF
this truly wonderful dinner, suffice 1t
to say that all that affiliated with
clans was to be had, and it would
have been impossible to have tasted
all the viaifds set before you.
During the afternoon drives, the
Cliff walk and the historic points of
Newport were seen by the club
women. A sail about Narragansett
bay was also one of the features and
quite number of the people opened
their homes, receiving us with kindly
hospitality. Among these was Mrs.
Loillard Spenser, who received us in
her beautiful home overlooking the
bay. If we had been her sisters we
could not have been treated more
cordially. Only one accident oc-
Cured to mar our pleasure and that
was not generally known until we
were homeward bound. You, no
doubt, read of this accident at the
time and wondered If your Idaho sis
tiers were among the injured.
Returning to Boston, the forestry
session occupied attention during the
evening. Music by the Bostonia
Ladies Orchestra, and here let me
speak of this orchestra, which fur
nished music during the entire con-
vention. The orchestra was composed
entirely of ladies and their music is
long to be remembered as one of
specially good features of the CON
vention; one evening among other
airs they played Idaho"
we'll, you should have seen Mrs. Kratz
and myself wave our handkerchiefs
to them, 1t certainly was an inspiring
to us.
Nature Lovers Creed" by Mrs. p.
5. Peterson of Chicago, was the sec
ond number on the program and she
this by forestry re-
port, as she was chairman of that
committee.
Mrs. Peterson then introduced as a
bird philanthropist, Mrs. May Reilly
smith, who in her address, 1.-THE
Voice of the Forest" made beauti-
ul and impassioned plea for the
gathered songsters. She appealed to
he woman's power to help right the
wrong Of the determination of birds

uthless demands of fashion.
She declared that the deepest need
