FEDERATION Pl.JGRAM
Annual Event of Gradatim Club a
Delightful Affair

For several years it has been the
custom of the Gradatim Club, to set
apart one meeting during the year
for the purpose of listening to the re-
ports from the delegates who attend
the annual meeting of the M. F. w.
G. On the program this day is desig-
mated as Federation Day. On Friday
afternoon of last week, the Fedora
alton Day meeting was held at the
home of Mrs. T. W. Mann. The
Monday Musical Club, not having
sent delegate to the annual meet
ing, was invited to meet with the
Gradatim ladies to enjoy with them
the feast of good fat things" that
had been prepared.
The Gradatim Club met at 2:3O for
the transaction of business. The
designations Of Mrs. Gingery and Mrs.
Beidleman were brought before the
club, and accepted. From the wait
ing list, the first two. eligible to be
accepted to fill these va
cancies, were MRS. Diehl and Mrs.
G. E. Bohall, who were voted as men,
bers for the coming year.
At 3 p. m. the Musical Club arrived
and Mrs. Wheeler gracefully turned
oyer the meeting into the hands Of
Mrs. E. j. Lewis, Federation Secre-
tary, who acted as delegate to the
convention in addition to her other
duties as state officer. Mrs. Lewis
gave very clear and concise report
in detail. bringing out the points of
greatest interest in the various ses-
sions. Midway in her report, she
paused and introduced Mrs. Francelia
Bronson, who had kindly consented
TO be present and sing. Mrs. Bron-
son sang cluster Of delightful pieces,
and was heartily applauded, and en-
cored. Mrs. E F. Morse, who was
not able to attend the whole of the
convention, reported for one day and
evening, taking up the papers deal
ing more directly with her own line
of work. Mrs. Lewis then finished
her report, and asked Mrs. Bronson
for another song, who responded with
a selection we'll calculated to show
the range of her magnificent voice.
After little rest Mrs. Bronson as a
special favor was asked to sing ''The
Last Rose of Summer" which she did,
playing her o wn accompaniment.
Mrs. Markson was the pianist for the
other selections.
After the program Mrs. Wheeler on
behalf of all present., asked that a
rising vote of thanks be given all
those who had SO kindly taken part
on the program, which had been SO
heartily enjoyed, and then dismissed
the meeting, which soon resolved it.
self into a social affair. Fancy-work
bags, were unstrung, and hands and
tongues were kept busy for the next
hour, during which time committee
| busted themselves with preparations
| for a lunch, which was served to the
! assembled guests in the large parlors
of the Mann home. This meeting
was easily decided upon, as the best
Federation Day meeting ever held.
The reports of the delegates were en-
tirely lacking in the tiresome quail
ties, which so often characterize such
reports.
