! I He StCohu udg SNooAOH OA 'AN Arizona Federation of Women s Clubs opened with the regulation reading of the previous days minutes-a record of good work, well done, which was fine inspiration on which to begin the new day.
 The reading of the reports of work accomplished by individual clubs during the past year, was first | in order. and the atmosphere of eager and friendly expectancy deep ened into one of satisfaction as these records were presented for the ap- proval of the assembled delegates and club members.
 Mrs. Tafel, president of the Woman's Club of Phoenix, led with the, working story of the largest club in the Federation. The Woman 's Club of Phoenix has grown rapidly in the past year, and now numbers 161 members. It is divided into de- partments devoted to the studies of art, history, education, eivies, phil anthropy and the general betterment of the community.
 The special effort of the year has been toward the raising of a fund tc build a club home and this pur- pose is so near realization that the plans for a very beautiful and con venfent building have been approved and its completion is expected with in the present year.
 Several especially delightful pro- grams have broken the routine of work and study, notably one even ing given to a lecture on Japan, H. lustrated by lantern slides made from photographs taken by the lecturer.
 Some while later an afternoon was given to the story of a walking tour through Japan, told by one of the ladies who adventured so pleasantly over the mountains and valleys of the interior.
 The annual club bazaar given for the purpose of adding to the build ing fund netted nearly seven hundred dollars and additional sums have been earned in various ways. The departments of art, eivics and household economies have in turn en- tertained the club as a whole, very delightfully."-, and the department work has been well and enthusiastic ally carried on:
 The Friday Club of Phoenix, as reported by Mrs. Walter Bennett, is primarily a club for the study of history, and has devoted the past year to France, using Thomas Watson s interesting history of that nation, [ with such other text books as were desirable.
 This club is limited to sixteen members, but it has to its credit the founding of the public library of Phoenix-the original members hay ing donated books, hired a woman, { and served as librarian by turns. They may well be proud of the beau tiful public library which grew from their public spirited labor of love. ! The Harmony Club of Phoenix was reported by Mrs. F. M. Elder, and this record was indeed one to arouse enthusiasm. Organizing for social pleasure at first. this club has grown into a philanthropie society of finest usefulness.
 Food. clothes, personal visits, and money to the amount of $200 this group of earnest women have given to the hOmesick and needy in Phoe- nix, proving a blessing to many a family and many a lonely stranger in time of sickness and poverty. Some books have been gathered for the Pioneers Home also, in response to the call from the women of the clubs to help in that interesting work
 The Prescott Monday Club report ed through its president, Mrs. E. H. Meek, a year of fine work along study lines, and no item was more interesting than that of the street cleaning day, which helped to make Prescott the cleanest city in the Southwest.
 No small feature of the Monday Clubs work has been the prepara, tions for entertaining the Fedora ton. labor which is now return ing its harvest of pleasure to guests and hostesses alike
 The Saguarro Club of Stafford re ported by letter that some work had been done there. though this clut i. had suffered the loss of membership
