OF Business and Professional Women
held at Chattanooga, Tenn, from July
10 10 10. The convention was attend
ed by IN from all over the United
States.
Aside from the business CT impor-
lance which was discussed the con-
vention was very interesting in its
features Of entertainment. The
tions. and recitals. Monday a re-
ception was given at which southern
songs and dances by piccaninnies RI
vailed in interest the pageant OF the
"Old South" An event was the great
barbecue arranged for the delegates
by the mems civic clubs Of the city
and the women's clubs. which was
held Oh Signal Mountain.
Another interesting feature was the
display OF home products from various
sections Of the country. Cactus
candy from Tucson. Arizona, views of
ST. Augustine, apples from Wenatchee
Valley, handwoven coverlets from
North Carolina. roses from Portland
were among the varied displays.
One Of the most eloquent speakers
was Mrs. Lena Lake Forrest, presi-
dent Of the National Federation. She
will be remembered from her visit to
this city this e Reports showed
that there are 36s federated clubs and
2s 1898 individual members. Among
the topics discussed was legislation,
among the speakers CT which topic
were Miss Alice Robinson, Miss
Jeanette Rankin, member of Congress,
and Miss Mary Stewart Of the Wo-
mems Joint Congressional Committee;
education; publicity; programs; per-
sonnet; research; outlawry Of war
etc.
An interesting fact was that the
married women went under their
husbands initials, instead Of using
their W first names. They claimed
that the best business and professional
women are also the best mothers and
homemakers as we'll. One Of the
points they made was that womer
must receive the same compensated
as men when they do the same work
with equal competence.

chisement OF women. tho Democratic
party in Delaware has been foremost
In extending to the women every pri-
vilege n opportunity Of service
which had heretofore been available
to the men only. All committees OF
the party were summarily enlarged SC
az TO admit a number OF women equal
to the number Of men. The women &c
admitted were put absolutely on an
equal footing with the men. Thus
they have worked and aided material.
