The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1910-12-04

There seems to have been very
sufficient reason for the fact that San
Francisco got the 1912 biennial accord
ing to later reports received from
ColfaX, la. The biennial Immediately
after the earthquake and fire was to
have gone to the coast and on account
of that disaster it was transferred. 1t
WAS felt that since this was the first
time since then that San Francisco had
an opportunity TO entertain the general
federation, it would be fitting to give
the vote to her. She on her part was
anxious to show in some form her ap-
probation to the clubs and the club
women of the courtesies received at
that time, which gave double reason
for the decision. Mrs. G.. n. Mcmahon,
the Utah president. has sent word that
the feeling toward Salt Lake City as
a convention place was most cordial,
but the above facts outweighed her bid.
Mrs. Mcmahon will 90 to Detroit to
visit relatives before her return, and
it is likely that she will be Joined by
Mr.. Mcmahon and they will be in the
east till after Christmas.
The Salt Lake Woman's club at its
last meeting heard q splendid poem
from the pen of Mrs. Gattrell which
the, author read in her own particular
style, bringing out all tho beauty and
meaning of the lines The poem was
written for Christmas competition. but
owing to the fact that Mrs. Gattrell
had alrendy won three prizes in a like
competition she could not enter it. 1t
is one of number which have delighted
her friends. In the regular study of
the club Mrs. Allen T. Sanford read
very entertaining and instructive pa
per on Granada covering long period
or Spanish history. The next meeting
will be held on December 13 at the
home OF Mrs. Gattrell, and will be the
last till after the holidays.
The formation of culture clubs goes
right on despite the fact that some re-
search folk have decided that as
whole the people are growing beyond
them. A new one has recently been
organized composed of a few congenial
souls who meet on Saturday nights,
and instead OF making smattering
study of many things, have one who is
specialist along some line, orSat least
who has made n special study of some
subject give brief talk on that sub
lect, The last meeting was held at the
W. G. Jennings home and f. B. Critch
low gave most interesting talk on
1.-The New 1nternationalism The
members are Mr.. and Mrs. Jennings,
Mr.. and Mrs. Critchlow, Mr. and Mrs.
l., NJ. Bailey. Mrs. William Igleheart,
Mr. and Mrs. c. l.. Rood and Mr.. and
Mrs. Norris l.. Ritchie.
