Pour boiling water over the nuts and

for five or six hours. The nut meats
may then be extracted easily without

TWENTY THOUSAND
WOMEN TO ATTEND
Sessions of Convention of the
General Federation of
Women'S Clubs.

NEW York., May 15.-The club
women Of the country, two and half
million of whom are represented in the
General Federation Of Women's Clubs,
have perfected q plan for the greatest
convention in the history Of the feder-
alton in New York this month The
dates are May % to June 5. During
those seventeen days It is expected
that fully 10000 women representing
clubs in every state In the uion, as well
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 to
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 twen-
ty-six years ago, 1t 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 So
rosis, the pioneer woman's club in this
country, who initiated the idea of n
geenral 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
in the following year when slxty-threo
clubs were represented by 1913 dele
gates and the sorosis was hostess.
Sorosis Again 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 principal meeting place. The col
onel's room and other officers quarters
will be turned over to the women for
headquarters. The armory is located
al sfxty-sixth street, occupying an en-
tire block between Lexington and Park
avenues.
The chief executive is Mrs. Percy
v Pennybacker. the president OF the
federation, whose home is in Austin,
Tex, but who for the last two years
has been travelling throughout the
country keeping in personal contact
with the activities of women's clubs
She will not be candidate for re-elec-
ton this year, however. and the ques-
ton of her successor will be one OF the
most important items Of business dur
ing the convetionn. The two candi-
