 Fraternity and mutual understand ing is the finest part of the WOm- ans Club movement and this comes of knowing all ones State and eoun- try.
 The discussion of scholarships for girls brought up a splendid enthusi- asm. At the end, two ladies, one not a club woman at all, came for ward with substantial checks, and the sum needed to keep two girls in school this very winter seems as sured.
 At it's best, and the best was here today, all this club work means women working together to help other women, to help children, and every fine impulse in the home or in public life.
 The Club adjourned to meet at 9 o'clock, Friday morning.
 Delegates Iu Attendance.
 The following is the official list of delegates: Mesdames B. A. Tow Ter, Walter Bennett, Joseph H. Kib- bey, Edward Kent, T. M. Elder, George Hahn, Thomas Wallin, George Viekers, F.. T.

 In the proceedings of the eOnven- tion, published in the JOurnal-Miner, yesterday morning, an unintentional omission was that of the kindly act of President A. w.

BRILLIANT FUNCTION.
Reception and Dance In HoIor of

Most brilliant and enjoyable was the reception rendered to the visit ing delegates of the Federation at the Yavapai Club, last evening. So- ciety was represented in numbers as established a record for such Club functions, and it was gOwned in its best, in honor of the visiting ladies, who themselves were equally radiant and charming in exquisite tOilettes.
 The reception opened at 9 o'clock, the receiving line being headed by Hon. F.. s. Clark, who introduced the gentlemen to the ladies. Next in line were Mrs E. II. Meek, president of the Monday Club; Mrs. Sidney Carleton Newsom, president of the Federation; Mrs. H. T. SouthwOrth, second vice president; Mrs. A. M. Tafel. Federation secretary; Mrs. G. M. Hahn, auditor; Mrs. F. E. K, Kimball, corresponding secretary. II was 10 o'clock before the reception feature of the program was con- cluded. and then followed a brief en

 "Thanking again the women of Prescott, as individuals, and as clubs for their most cordial welcome, and generous hospitality, thanking the General Federation for sending us their earnest working, beloved presi- dent, Mrs. Phillips, we cannot close without eOngratulating ourselves on our choice of so able and zealous a leader, Arizona's Federation presi- dent, Mrs. Newsom of Tucson, who will now address us"
 After the response of Mrs. Wright Mrs. Meek presented Mrs. Sidney Carleton Newsom of Tucson, presi- dent of the Arizona Federation. Mrs. Newsom delivered an address, which was full of interest to Club women, it is her desire to bring about a more complete knowledge and appre- citation by the individual club of the value of the federation. Her am- bition is feverently centered for club women to take for their motto during the year of 1911, twenty five clubs in existence before the next convention assemblies. Mrs. Newsom made a very favorable i'm pression by her earnest and sincere manner.
 Following Mrs. Newsom's address the reports from several clubs were read, as was also the report of Mrs. s. E. Empsey, delivered before the last biennial at Cincinnatti in May of 1910. Reference was made par ticularly to Mrs. Deeker's address entitled "Tomorrow, which was de- livered at that time. Mrs. Decker also mentioned the wonderful pro- gress that had been made by the club women of Tennessee. The ad- dress of Miss Anna Gordon on Equal Suffrage, was also alluded to, it being the first time the subject was taken up by the rub women of the nation in honvention.
 At the afternoon session, Miss Ward sang a group of Carrie Jacob Bonds songs in manner that brought many compliments to this gifted vocalist.
 The paper of the afternoon was "Civic Awakening by Mrs. B. A. Fowler of Phoenix. which was pro- nouneed among the ablest discuss ions that has ever been presented before the federation. It will ap- pear later in the Journal-Miner.
 During the session the familiar faces of Mrs. Warren of Tucson and Mrs. Mosier will not be seen, and re 
 gret is expressed. Both have been in attendance at the federation here, tofore, and were unable to come north this year.
 At the conclusion of Mrs. Fowler 's address, an adjournment was taken to visit the Pioneer Home, an insti' tuition in which the federation IS taking a deep interest. The visitors were taken in automobiles and every member availed herself of the op' portunity to visit this institution which is ready for the pioneer.
 The session will be resumed this morning at the usual hour.
