rism and called from ' Mrs. Ella. S.
Stewart, of Chicago, a protest this
morning in the form of a notice- Upon
most questions the vote of the con
vention is determined by the majority
of delegates present, but there is a
plural system, which can be invoked
by five state delegations or auxiliary
associations, and the voting is accord
in ST to the number of members each
delegation is entitled to on the basis
of the dues annually paid into the Na
tional association.

To restore order Miss Shaw used
an ordinary carpenter's hammer, which
she wielded with considerable force.
An invitation in the form of tele
grams from the Mayor, Business Men's
Club and others to hold the next con
vention in Memphis was read to .the
convention, but no action was taken,
as several delegates announced that at
the proper, time invitations from other
cities would be forthcoming.

The indications this year for the Thanks

time custom of big family dinners at home is
slowly but surely disappearing.
The reasons seem to be first, that the
housewife has taken it into her dear head that
big dinners at home mean nothing more nor
less than two. or three days of drudgery; and,
secondly, that the hotels and restaurants are
each year increasing their efforts to make the
family feel repaid for "going out for turkey."
