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 arranged
for the convention. The topics indi-
cate an increasingly wide range OF af-
fairs in which the club women are TAX
ing not only an interest but an active
part. There was time, for instance,
when the New York City Federation OF
Wbmen's Clubs could report on all Of
its activities at each convention, but
now, says Mrs. Eugene J. Grant, the
president of the city federation. it
takes the six conventions OF an admin
istration 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
movement in the interest of women,
children and mankind In general. and
the program calls for reports and dis
cussion by committees on art, child
welfare, civics, civil service reforms
home economics, conservation, indus.
trial and social questions, legislation
education, literature, music, public
health,-and under these headings
come subjects ranging all the way
from moving pictures to international
relationships. One important an.
nouncement that will be made at the
convention is the fact that the fedora.
