be held from the ninth to the fifteenth
of this month.
The convention is a gathering for
the purpose of enacting legislation
which will make more effective the
work of associations all over the coun-
try, and of influencing the policies or
association work in foreign countries
where American secretaries are placed
by the foreign department. The pro-
gram has been carefully planned and
the convention should be as interest
ing in it's sessions and as far reach
ing in it's results as any gathering of
these workers ever held.
An outdoor pageant, written for this
occasion. will be given in a newly
opened park on the outskirts of the
city on Saturday afternoon. By means
of its opening professional of nearly
one thousand young women repre-
senting every association affiliated
with the national board; by episodes
symbolizing the outstanding features
of the association work, its spirit and
its influences. and by carefully planned
effects of color. costume and music,
the pageant will be the most pictur-
esque feature.
Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson of
Washington. D. c., and Miss Elizabeth
Dodge of New York city, will address
the association members rally which
will follow the pageant on Saturday
evening.
