CLUB WOMEN LEAVE
FOR EAST TOMORROW
Will Seek Biennial International
Meet for San Francisco
in 1912

California women will begin tomor-
row their Journey To the great inter
national biennial meeting of women's s
clubs, to be held in Cincinnati, and
every woman who wears the poppy
emblem of the state, and every club
woman who stays at home as well, is
hoping that the biennial for 1912 will
be held in San Francisco.
The recent state federation at Santa
Barbara indorsed San Franciscos pro-
posed invitation to the international
body, and in the same motion was in
corporated the suggestion that Mrs. j..
w. Orr and Mrs. A. Il. Black of San
Francisco should present the invitation
at the approaching session.
Accordingly, these women, as well
as a large number of delegates from
all parts of the state will be present
to make the invitation as alluring as
possible. Every advantage of climate,
scenery and club spirit will be urged
Los Angeles had the biennial in 1902,
but since that time 1t has not come to
the Pacihc coast. The Club women of
the state think that as they rank
fourth in club work in the United
States, and have many other advant-
ages in their favor, 1t is quite fitting
that their invitation should be accept
ed.
All delegates having invitations for
the 1912 meeting will be given an op-
portunity to present them some time
toward the close of the meeting, and
then at the executive board meeting
next fall the decision will be reached.
Many details as to local arrangements
have to be considered, and it is not
possible to do this during convention,
so California women will have to con-
tent their souls in peace and wait for
the decision.
WILL TAKE BEAR FLAG
One of the most interesting pro-
grams announced for this biennial is
the Presidents night" Each state
president will come forward to the
speakers desk and will give, in her
best and briefest manner, a response
to this topic: my States Best As
set" Each speaker will carry small
flag suggestive of her state. The Los
Angeles chamber of commerce has pre-
sented a small bear flag of white to
Mrs. Russell ]. Waters, California s
president, and after she makes her
brief speech she will place this flag
in the pyramid erected for that purpose
on the platform.
Mrs. Josiah Evans Cowles, Mrs. Rus
sell j. Waters, Mrs. Florence Collins
Porter, Mrs. Dorothea Hoagland-H Hay
den of Altadena and Mrs. C. ]. Orrick
of Riverside will leave tomorrow for
Cincinnati, and - number of other
woman representatives of the southern
districts will leave within a day or
so. 1t Is expected that California will
have about forty delegates at the BIZ
ennial.
The state delegates appointed at
Santa Barbara, in addition to those
above mentioned, were Mrs. C. H.
Jones, Alameda; Mrs. e. G. Dennis
ton, San Francisco; Mrs. A. G.. Wine
