affiliated with the International Coun-
Gil of Women which is the worlds

womankind. The American National
Council of Women will be represented
by thirty women, the president of the
national council, ten delegates, ten al
ternates and invited guests chosen to
represent various sections of the coun-
try or special club activities.
Kenosha club women are especially
interested in the convention because of
personal association with two members
/. of the distinguished party represent

P Radcliffe of West Allis, Wis, and
Mrs. Nathaniel Harris of Bradford Pa.
