Woman's Club of CIiffside Park

An excellently attended and notably
| pleasant meeting of the Woman's Club
of Cliffside Park was that of last
Thursday in the home of Mr. and Mrs.
Hodkinson, Miss Perry being the host
ess and the president, Mrs. Heaton, in
the chair
After the usual reports and some
announcements four new members
were elected-Mrs. Clara Warren,
Mrs. Thomas Dillon, Mrs Josephson
and Mrs. Boyer, the latter being the
reelection of an ex-member
The matter of special interest was
the finishing of the report of the pres
ident of the annual convention of the
State Federation of Women's Clubs,
showing many things of civic, educa-
tjonal, philanthropic and art interest
accomplished in the state, of which
further report may be found in an
other article.
Our Sixth district had the largest
representation at that convention, al
though not the largest district, and
not one of the many clubs was delin-
quent in dues.
Among the motions made on Thurs
day were the following:
That the same method as to the
yearly programs publishing in The
Palisadian) be followed as last year;
that the same budget be adopted, last
years budget having been closely
lived up to; that the club undertake
of Cd vii
mas Seals, doing it by mail with Mrs.
R. Burns and volunteer committee
Mrs. Thayer, Mrs. Conroy and Mrs.
Benda-being in charge; that a party
be held later to welcome the new club
members; that a committee be ap-
pointed to consult with the two memo
rial committees as to whether the
clubs cooperation would be accept
able, and that the club offer some
school prizes, as suggested by the
Board of Education and others, COM
mittee being appointed to consider
the object, means, etc.
A new and enjoyable feature of the
program was the singing of the State
Federation Official song, America, the
Beautiful" by all, Mrs. Sammis at the
piano, and the rendition of a beautiful
violin record on the Victrola.
Mrs. F. Banville made report of
the two meetings which she attended
on the bridge hearing, she being the
only woman at both meetings Major
S. Wood McClave of our borough
spoke in favor of it, as did others, and
the New Jersey people were very en-
thusiastic.
The plan promises the bridge ready
for use in five years, and the matter
was referred to the Board of Engi
neers.
The picture of the proposed bridge
was shown to the club.
Mrs R. Cadien, haying collected $40
for the Japan sufferers, desired that
the club take up the matter, and it
was requested that all checks or mon
ey for this purpose be sent to the club
treasurer, Mrs. J. Braddon.
The program closed with the read
ing by Mrs. G. R. Thayer with fine ex-
preston of the ratification of the con-
stitution by New York, an important
step in that day day affecting our own
state and this being "Constitution
Week."
