tion of the Woman's club. since this is
the largest, most democratic and most
versatile OF the clubs with its depart
ments covering many phases of study and
activity.

ing this year because the club is pretty
evenly divided as to following. The con-
sentative element of the club, which ia
vors concentration Of energy on the few
main interests laid down by the General
Federotion of women's Clubs, is center
ing its hopes on Mrs. 4. X. Gault, whose
work in various organizations has been
marked with success. At present she is
chairman Of the constitutional committee
OF the club and is also a vice president
general Of the national society OF the
Daughters Of the American Revolution
