| to San Francisco, where she Will be
an honored guest at several functions
| planned by the club women of the
north for Mrs. Philip Moore, president
of the General Federation of Woman's
Clubs. Mrs. Cowles, who is the vice

unofficial, both on her part and on
that of Mrs. Moore, but California club

board takes place in the winter to de-
eide on location for the federation
biennial session of 1912.
The club women of San Francisco
gave a brilliant reception for Mrs.
Moore Saturday afternoon and will
devote the time on Monday to sight

cling through the western states with
her husband, who is a mining engineer.

will enable Mrs Moore to see exactly
what advantage each of these western
cities which has invited the next bien-
nial offers as a place for the federation
meeting. The size of the general fed
Grafton meeting is now of such pro-
portions that the mere matter of pro-
Viding sleeping and eating accommo-
dations for the women is one of great
Importance, while an auditorium large
enough to accommodate the assem-
blage gathered for the big program
meetings is difficult to provide.
