and introduce her speakers. Her
corps of college women, for weeks
previous to the meeting have been
engaged under her direction in reduc-
ing every detail into a systematized
plan. Sometimes the remark is
heard that these young people do
quite as we'll as older people, but
those who know how poorly grown
peoples conventions are often con-
Quoted, appreciate the fact that they
really do very mucn better.
The chairman of the reception
committee was Miss Estelle Miner, a
senior and one of the two Federation
scholarship girls at the college. One
OF Miss Miners duties was to meet
every train during the convention.
which in this case meant that every
train was met and promptly on time.
The chairman of the convention was
Miss Ruth Noble, a senior, and she
presided most efficiently and grace
fully and turned the convention over
to the honorary chairman, Dean Her.
rick, with a remarkably concise and
, appropriate introduction.
Among other addresses were the
ones Of Miss Muriel Pease for Gal
latin county high school; Miss Kath-
crime Keown for Girls Auxiliary
club; and Miss Hazel Miller of Chou
teau county high school, who re-.
sponded for all the delegates. In
every instance these addresses we're
delivered clearly, without hesitation
and with a %directness and brevity
which might we'll be copied by older
people. Each one ev1nced an indi-
vidual charm and was given without
reference to any manuscript.
There was a secretary of the con-
vention. Miss Grace McIvor, and
much of the success of the affair was
due to her capable and ~tireless eff
fort. The chairman Of the attend
ance committee, Miss Mary Daniel
son, a junior, and the other of the
two federation girls, had organized
a corps Of trained assistants and
within five minutes after the begin
ming of each session, was able to re-
port the number of delegates who
were in their seats. 1t was surpris-
ing to find that almost invariably, in
spite Of the long distances to the
homes where many were entertained,
every delegate should be miss
ing for any considerable period,
Mary D., as she is called at college.
would soon ascertain her where
abouts, so that anxious mothers need
not worry about their daughters as
long as Mary D makes sure, three
times a day, that each one is at
tending to her duty.
Butte Senior Arranged
For Delegates Entertainment.

from Butte, was chairman of the en-
tertainment committee. She, too,
had her assistants organized and
during the congress might often be
found at Hamilton hall where she
assisted as hostess for the speakers

And there We're otner committees

Tight on the job and thus the work
Of this unique convention wen for
ward smoothly, quietly and delight
fully each moment. 1t seemed as
though every college girl in the
school was a host in herself, and
w failing in courtesy and atten-
ton to the guest, no matter what de-
mands were made upon her time.
There is another thing which
should be told and which it would
co no harm were some club women
to observe INC initiate. 1t is a fact
that since delegates are sometimes
selected from the proper homes, that
not every girl who attends is able
to bring along an elaborate ward
robe. SO it seems to be a very tact
full custom to find the college women
dressed in very simple costumes. The
Girls Glee club presented a charm
ing appearance in uniform white
MILDLY suits, and mothers will find,
that, among other things. their
daughters will bring home some very
sensible and refreshing ideas with
regard to dress.
The most prominent speaker this
year was Miss Helena Bennett of Chi
cago. Miss Bennett is manager Of
the Chicago Collegiate Bureau OF Oc-
equations, and she spoke three times,
taking for her topics, "The Great
Vocation" "Typical Vacations for
Women,' and "The Girl and Wo-
man" Dean X. w. jameson of the
University of Montana was also pres
ent and spoke On the subject, CAS-
the Other Side Sees It." AS Dean
Jameson has only been in the state
since September l, this meeting gave
her an opportunity of getting ac-
quainted with Montana girls and wo-
men and she heartily enjoyed every
minute of her stay at Hamilton hall,
where she was the special guest of
Dean Herrick. and was able to meet
and talk with many visitors which
was Of mutual advantage to both.
