men of the country, two and a half
million of whom are represented in the
General Federation of Women's clubs,
have perfected plan for the greatest
convention in the history of the fedora
ton in New York this month The
dates are May % to June 8. During
those seventeen days it is expected that
fully 10000 women representing clubs
in every state in the union, as we'll as
some from Alaska, Japan, England
Hawaii and South America will attend
many of the innumerable meetings and
social functions that have been ar
ranged.
New York city this year is said tc
have more than 500 different conven,
tons on its calendar, but from all in
dications none will equal in attend
ance the gathering Of women. Special
sentiment is attached to the women's
convention by the fact that although
the federation was founded here TWEEN
ty-six years ago, it is the first time
since then that the women have met in
New York. 1t was Jennie June
Croly, one of the founders of the Sor.
osis, the pioneer woman's club in this
country, who initiated the idea of q
general convention of women's clubs
in 1889, and the outcome of this was
the holding of the first convention OF
the General federation in New York
il the following year when SO clubs
we're represented by 1876 delegates and
the Sorosis was hostess.
Chicago, Philadelphia, Louisville
Denver, Milwaukee, Los Angeles, St
Louis, st, Paul, Boston, Cincinnati
San Francisco and Chicago again, have
been the convention cities in the order
named The forthcoming convention
the thirteenth, will have Sorosis again
as its hostess, in conjunction with the
New York state and City declarations
which are working their hardest to
make the gathering notable one in
every direction.
The main drill hall of the armory of
the Seventh regiment Of the New York
National Guard, which will accommo-
date upwards of 5000 women, will be

The General Federation of
Women Clubs Will Meet

the principal meeting place. The col
onel's room and other officers quar-
tiers will be turned over to the women
for headquarters. The armory is To-
Gated at Goth street, occupying an en-
tire block between Lexington and
Park avenues.
The chief executive is Mrs. Percy "
Pennypacker, the president of the
federation, whose home is in Austin,
Tex, but who for the past two years
has been travelling throughout the
country keeping in personal contact
with the activities of womens clubs
She will not be a candidate for re-
election this year, however, and the
question of her successor will be one
CT the most important items of bust,
ness during the convention. The two
candidates for the offices are Mrs. Sam
uel B. Sheath of Tiffin, O., and Mrs.
Josiah Evans Cowles, of Los Angeles.
The Ohio candidate is at present first
vice president of the federation, and
is club woman of wide experience.
Mrs. Cowles, whose name has been put
forward by the California women, has
also been prominently identified with
the federation several years as direc-
tor, treasurer, and chairman of various
committees.
In the words of Miss Lutte E.
Stearns, one of the directors of the
Federation, "the business of being a
club woman is big business and is
getting to be bigger business every
day" This is apparent from the elab-
crate program that has been ar
ranged for the convention. The topics
indicate an increasingly wide range of
affairs in which the club women are
taking not only an interest but an ac-
tive partl There was a time for in
stance, when the New York City Fed
Grafton of Women's clubs could report
en- all of its activities at each con-
vention, but now, says Mrs Eugene J.
Grant, the president of the city feder-
alton, it takes the six conventions of
an administration to get through the
reports of the thirty-eight committees
which have developed.
The General federation has as its
broad object the furtherance of every
in the interest of women,
children and mankind in general, and ,
the program calls for reports and dis
cussion by committees on art, child
civics, civil servicce reforms,
home economics, conservation, indus
trial and social questions, legislation, |
literature, music, public |
health-and under these headings come !
subjects ranging all the way from NOV
ing pictures to International relation
ships. One important announcement
that will be made at the convention is
tie fact that the federation has raised
an endowment of 100000. The plan
to raise such a sum was voted at the
Cincinnati convention in 1910, and now |
that the sum has been realized it will |
be invested by trustees, The interest
being used to help carry on the work
Of the General federation.

ing to the swollen, enlarged veins.
Soon you will noticesthat they are
