most entirely to a discussion Of cluD

situation club activities have been
brought to standstill as far as meet
ings in the city are concerned. The
question of greatest interest in club

State Federation of Women's clubs.

clubs from West Tennessee included In
the roster of the federation than from
any other part OF the state, and in ad-

Ruchanan's successor will also be a
Memphis woman. but nothing definite
will be known until after the meeting
of the executive board in Nashville on
