It Is a work upon which the state officers have la bored since the state organisation was formed, but a chain of unfortunate cir cumstances have heretofore rendered the efforts futile,, Under Mrs. Shrete's manipulation there is great possibilities Tor this branch of club work in the state. Mrs. Shreve is an experienced committee and club worker with a keen sense of the fitness Of things and a cul tivated literary taste, which will at once discern the merits of an article com bining the correct Judgment to properly place It. The letter follows: , Oregon Federation of Women's Clubs, JUt. Tabor, Or., Feb. 11. To the Fed erated Clubs of the State of Oregon Having been selected as chairman of the reciprocity committee by the president of the O. F. W. C. and having accepted the same, I am now very desirous of WOMXH QOLDBEATEBS. . An ungallant Btrlke, ' with no virtue In fact, and only the desire for an in crease In wages to excuse it, has brought to light an employment' for women -that has almost been unknown except to the few who-' have been In vestigating the employment and indus trial conditions of women, for gold beating Is one of the smallest of Ameri can industries, though one of very great importance and one, of whose even short suspension by the recent strike, affected many branches of business seriously. It Is an industry peculiar In another way in America. It enables Its work men to dictate terms to the employer more autocratically than almost any .other employment in the country, from the fact that but 500 workers are em ployed in this country, therefore few seek to enter It, and the goldbeaters of England and Germany are so well payed none care to emigrate, and our laws would prohibit their being sent for. It is also expert labor, whose skill is attained only by experience. Its im portance may be realised when it is con sidered what a 25 per cent raise would mean to artists In framing their pic tures or to house decorators, sign painters, book binding, or the dozen other trades that use gold leaf, as was the case during the strike. The strike was. really on account of the women, and. to explain how it was brought ' From the Chicago Journal. The City of Mexico, In all its strange nooks and corners. Its streets dating from the period when Spain's vice-kings ruled in the big palaces, la full of color and Incident.

Through the rooms of many of the old houses bus might comfortably drive In a carriage. There are i salaa. . or parlors, as large s small publlo halls. Always in true (ipanlsii architecture one notes the grandiose Ideas of - thd race. - . Fifty years ago people still kept a host' of servants, not all " of ' them strictly lor use. but to show tUelr dig OLD MEXICAN FAMILIES j promoting mutual interest and Industry; that each club member may become a worker In their own sphere of ability.. The object of this committee Is to place ourselves in a position to furnieh pa pers of special merit to any club In the state. Therefore 1 hereby earnestly request that you will lend your aid by giving me the nam and address of any per son who has presented your club with a paper of special merit; or better still, if, you can send the aame to. me for the use of each club, that, this committee may be able to circulate valuable knowl edge thus derived. Also, will you kindly inform me of the special work your club Is doing, the success you have attained and give special day programs thereby aiding the true spirit of reciprocity. Fraternally yours, CARRIE E. SHREVE. Chairman of Reciprocity -Committee,, O. F. W. C. bout, something of the process of gold beating may not be uninteresting. First it may be said to be entirely a hand craft The gold, 22 karats tine, is melted snd run through rollers, coming out in strips about an Inch wide and the thickness of blotting paper. This is clipped in inch squares and placed be tween the leaves of a parchment book. This book ts called the "cutch" and con tains 200 leaves. It Is then enclosed in a kind of envelope and passed to. the workmen who, placing it on a granite block, begins the first stages of ham mering. This is done with heavy but skilled blows, until the square measure three inches Instead of one. The "shoda" book, containing 860 leaves. Is the next process. Ttlabok Is prepared in a peculiar way with a substance made from the entrails of oxen. One of these books will stand 150 beatings, but cost originally ISO. - This book Is beaten again with a lighter, but etm more expert hand. After paasing through these two books the lighter and more, deft - touch of women has heretofore been found almost indispensable. Evert from tha transfer from the "shoda" to the mould, or last beating, women have been better able to do the work. r During the last process girls sit in enclosed desks In almost airless rooms. Even with every draught excluded small particles of gold fill the air, and walls nity. On the occasion of some family event or the extension of hospitality, flies of servants were ranged on either side of the courtyard as ths guests en tered. Today, conservative and wealthy fam ilies have four times as many servants as would be found In an American house, and there is space for them In the fine old mansions which have rocked In many a tropical earthquake. . Tha old fashion of furnishing had for Us distinctive note Immense mirrors In the parlor, a rug here and there on the vast expanse of tiled floors, chairs and sofas arranged in the stiff Spanish way, bedrooms with canopied couches, and carved wood everywhere in beds, tables and chairs like thrones. The wealth 'of the old families was de rived from mines and haciendas. , Many of the well-to-do people had made tho European tour, leaving their hearts In Paris, as they do today: for Paris, not Madrid or Rome, Is the Mexican Mecca. Then ladles dellgh'ted in costly silks and rare laces, and above all Jewels. To this day there is a general passion for these things, and tor- a woman of ins "alt Portland, rFeb, . IS, Official ' reports Just received, from' tfie executive com mittee of the National American Woman's Suffrage association, of which I have the honor to be 4 member, in form me that of all the delegates to the convention, from -the 40 different states and territories represented at the thirty sixth annual meeting, which closed Its deliberations on t - Wednesday 'ntght at Washington, DV Ci no others made more of success -than Jefferson Myers, presi dent of the state " commission of the Lewis and Clark fair, and his wife. Dr. Annie Jeffreys-Myers. When It came to selecting a Iplaee-of ' holding' the npxt annual conference, our delegates won for Portland against ' all . competitors and agalnat heavy financial odds. As fully 800 delegates 'will attend the conference In 'Portland in June, 1905, the magnitude-of this victory cannot be over estimated - ? Senator Mitchell, who was also a dele gate,, being unable to attend in person, wrote a strong, letter to the national president, qarrle Chapman Catt, urging Portland upon the convention as an ideal place for the next annual meeting; and It was stated on all sides that the sena tor's appeal had great weight in assist" ing Mr. and Mrs. Myers in securing this recognition for Oregon. In making her appeal, Mrs. Myers ex tended the following formal invitation to the association: "Ladles We respectfully Invite this association to hold its annual meeting fof the year 1906 at Portland, Or. In the summer of that year the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition and Ori ental fair wljl be held at Portland. and girls become a glittering mass. In front of . each girl is a fine leather cushion and at her side a pile of "moulds." - She turns Jha leaves and with the aid of two slender wooden im plements .lifts the shimmering sheet, thinner than the finest tissue - paper, drops them on the cushion and gently breathes upon them to straighten out these sheets. With two strokes of a wooden stamp, something like a cake cutter, thegold is cut in the squares of commerce. Every trimming is carefully saved. Twenty of these sheets are sold In a package at an average price of $7.50. An expert can finish from 60 to 80 books daily. The work Is delicate, L easy and re munerative, and except for the close ness of the room, entails no hardships upon the women workers. Too easy and too well paid evidently to meet with the approval of the male co workers. The "shoda" men brought about the slrilee, arguing that if they had the heavy work they should have a share in the lighter. The employers held out for some time, but from the very nature of the work they were at the mercy of the malcontents, and the women had to go, byt so unjust was the strike considered that the employers found other places for the girl, or paid them their usual wages till they could secure employment for themselves. The change has been highly unsatisfactory, as the men are said to be" much less dexterous and not nearly so rapid as the women goldbeaters were., HUH SXFBVSE8 AT ST. LOUIS. The burning question, and one with which almost . every club woman now greets another is, "Are you going to the national convention?" and it is sure to develop that the only thing standing in the way is the expense. There is no use disguising the fact that it means a large expenditure. Rates, Of course, will be given, In fact, are already made, but before the trip Is seriously contemplated it would be well to count carefully the cost. One of the serious objections made at the time St. Louis extended her Invitation was the added expense that would nec essarily accrue from meeting In a city during a large exposition. While St. Louis Is making every effort to keep hotel rates and living expenses within reasonable bounds it is natural that every landlord, restaurateur or shop man will want to reap (The harvest for which they hare been looking forward. The local committee for the biennial is putting forth strenuous efforts to procure rooms and places of entertain ment for its guests, but their best will only In part supply- the demand, and those whose circumstances admit of no doubt of their being present, will soon have engaged the known available places and those who have to wait for "some thing to turn up" and will take their chances when they get there, will be the ones who have the heavy expenses to bear. "Incidental expenses" will have to be reckoned this year as never be fore. An exposition Is always an ex pensive place to visit and to "keep the pace" with several thousand sight see ing women will not reduce the cost In St. Louis. This is not being salU to discourage women from going to the biennial, for It Is the sincere wish of every Interested club woman that Oregon will send a large representative delegation, but that a due amount of. caution may be exer cised before the trip is undertaken. The following statement has been sent out officially by the chairman of the press committee of the local board: General headquarters, Jefferson-hotel, St. Louis: The committee has thus far only been able to secure 50 rooms (25 of each class), and it ts therefore most Im portant that delegates desiring accom modations at headquarters send in their application . for rooms at once to the hotel committee direct. Rates $6 per day, rooms without bath, one or' two persons occupying a room; $7 a day for rooms with bath, one or two persons occupying a room; $1.60 a day each for any additional ' number sociedad" to have many thousands of dollars In Jewels Is common. An abundant and generous style of liv ing was common in the old days, and today a rich Mexican family spends a great sum annually on its table. Much sound wine is drunk, and in sweetmeats and preserves of every Imaginable kind the national taste Is shown. The old families are exclusive. They have' the Spanish tradition. The house hold machinery moves without a Jar, and the mfrqy servants have each their place well deflnesi In the domestic economy. In these old homes one notes the quiet and well-bred tranquillity of every one, from coachman to housekeeper. The great upper corridors on which the rooms open are broad, handsomely paved with tiles and are gay with hand some "macetas" or pots. The ladles of the household are domestic; they are busy with music, embroidery and art work' Their outings are the afternoon drive on the broad Paseo de la Reforma, the theatre, and the church in tha fore noon. Social life In the semi-public, gregarious ways of American cities Is unknown and would not suit these privacy-loving, domestic women. And yet many of them are traveled and get their gowns from Paris ? The Mexican woman of old family is very) charming; her .voice la low and .

' --" "I am Informed tlut ths railroad fares will be fixed at about 80 per, cent of one fare for the round trip, and further, special hotel rates will be given to dele gates and their friends. The exposition company Is making arrangements for side trips, by rail or steamer.- to Cali fornia. Washington and Alaska points at a very low rate. "We earnestly desire . you to accept our invitation to make this pilgrimage to our great western country, where we will all extend to you tho glad hand of welcome." " After the invitation was accepted Mrs. Myers offered the following reso lution, which was carried -amid the greatest enthusiasm: "Be it' resolved, That we, the members of the National American Woman's Suffrage association, most heartily In dorse he Lewis and Clark exposition, to be held in Portland in 1905, to com memorate the expedition of Lewis and Clark, and to, pay the proper honor to Sacajawea, the Indian bird woman, who so faithfully assisted them. more .than two occupying any one room. One hundred rooms have been secured at the Napoleon Bonaparte hotel, situ ated about three blocks from the main entrance to the world's fair grounds, and about 85 minutes' ride on transit line to the Odeon convention hall. The rates range as folldws: American plan, one or two In a room, without bath, from $3.50 upward; with bath, from $5.60 up ward. European plan, one or two In a room, without bath, from $2 upward. An ad vance payment of $2 is requested on all applications for rooms at the Napoleon Bonaparte. All applications shoula toe sent to Mra Edward Taussig, chairman, 021 Se curity building, or to Miss Cornelia Fisher, vice-chairman. Hotel Berlin; To save confusion and delay, the hotel com mittee urges that applications be sent direct to either of the above members. Mrs. Charles Le Roy Moss, chairman press committee. This furnishes 150 rooms to accom modate about 3,000 women, and the St Louis women hope' there will be 6,000. The Inference to be drawn is self-evident. The railroads have announced a round trip rate from Portlana of $67. Thls, of course, does not include sleeper . or meals, and the trip is about three nights and as many days out, so a Hundred dollars might be a safe estimate for traveling expenses, and the other will be about what you care or your purse will permit you to make them. H SCHOOL WOII. Mrs. Judge Wilkes of Nashville, Tenn., is one of the most Indefatigable workers the Sacajawea association has, and she has hit upon a happy Idea In trying to reach and Interest the enthusiastic boarding-school girls, and every week brings some response from college or academy she has succeeded In Interest ing. From Belmont college, one of the loveliest and most fashionable schools In the south, the following words come from the principal: "Our girls will certainly be Interested In the Indian girl and her history, and w4ll no doubt like to own one of the but tons to help along with a monument to her honor. "I am glad to know the faithful guide of Cortes through the Mexican jungle has a parallel In our northern wilds, but I trust the latter escaped the former's fate." . . ASTOmiA. Another victory scored for the library work of the state! "How did It come about?" "By the women, of course." Twelve years ago the women of As toria undertook to establish a library and free reading room. I'ndertaklng it, backed with the Indomitable energy for which the Astoria women are noted, meant having it, and 'they got it; and not only that, but struggling through all these years of discouragement, they have maintained It. enlarging and in creasing its usefulness until It stand second, perhaps, In this state, and far ahead of many larger towns In Other states. As it has required $85 per month to support it and keep it tip to the standard the women had set for It, and their assured income has never been but $25, grudgingly bestowed by the city council, sufficient funds has always been the crying need. Private generosity has come nobly to the rescue, and no debt has ever been allowed to accu mulate, but as every one knows this is a very unsatisfactory source from which to support a public institution. When the library bill, prepared by the Oregon Federation of Woman's clubs was pending, the Astoria women were among Its staunchest supporters. Sen ator Fulton being at that time president of the senate, he was familiar with the library efforts of the women of Astoria, and rendered the bill signal service. As toria, however, was not at once to enjoy the fruits of her toll, for an obdurate council would not consent to a tax levy for library purposes. But as the con tinual dripping will wear away the stone, so has the perseverance of the women conquered. soft;' she Is full of kindly consideration for a guest, and has a strong family feeling, which Includes her poor rela tions, who are frequently at table, and on all family festivals are Included as a matter of course. Revolutions In the past made sud den changes in fortune for thousands of people, and comparative poverty among people of long lineage is not un common. In many a wealthy home adorned with every evidence of taste you will see women plainly dressed in black freely mingling in the conversation and treated as equals, , yet they are poor aunts or cousins. In the Mexican home where wealth abounds perbass the aged mother or grandmother will be found attired with absolute simplicity. A traveler might take her for a poor relation. Yet she Is the undisputed chief of the family and holds great estates managed by her sons and grandsons. Often more often than not these gracious old ladles sre very devout, and so the priest is a wel come guest and sits with the family at table.- These good people like the old ways -best, see .little good In the new ways and the boasted progress of -the times,' . '.;.;.::. - Sometimes a splendid carriage rolls by In the street, and young men of fashion "Be It further-resolved,. That the gov ernment of the : United States should make a suitable appropriation . for the success ot this exposition., . Great , regret was expressed at the de termination of the capable and popular national president Carrie Chapman catt, to decline to stand for re-election. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw was chosen presi dent and JBrs. Catt was prevailed upon to take the place of vice-president-at-Iarge. The other . officers were re elected without change. As Mrs. Catt is breaking down under the arduous duties Of the national presi dency, her refusal to accept re-election was accepted as a necessary preliminary to a senson of rest. - Dr. Shaw spoke most feelingly. The affection of all the officers and members for Mrs. Catt was especially demon strated, arid . was only second to that expressed for Susan B. Anthony, who has just, completed her "eighty-fourth year. , The hearing accorded to delegates be fore congressional committees of the senate end house was a most encour aging sign of the progress of the equal rights movement, as the reception of their pleas for -. "equality before the law" gave ample testimony. "Never,"' says Miss Gordon, "have the arguments of any body of women ' been better re ceived," and "never," says Senator Mitchell, in a letter to the writer, "have better or more eloquent or patriotic ap peals baen made for liberty by any body of statesmen on the floor of the United States senate." ABIGAIL SCOTT DUNIWAT. At a meeting of the city council on February 13, a committee of women from the library went before the mem bers and eloquently pleaded -that the half-mill tax be not divided, but that the whole amount be given to the li brary and free reading-room. Some mild protests were Interposed, but so strongly was the matter presented by the chair man, Mra. Elmore, that when the voto was taken not ti dissenting voice was heard. This will assure to Astoria the largest and best library In the state, outside of Portland. "Dux Femlna Fact!." t VATIOXTAL IUTTBAQI OOVT2VTX09 The 36th annual convention of the National Woman's Suffrage association, which met in Washington, D. C, Feb ruary 11 to 17, was attended by an un usually distinguished company of speak ers. Among them was Mrs. Anna Garlln Spencer. Charlotte Perkins Oilman, Mrs. Watson-Lister of Australia, Mrs. Har riet Stanton Blatch, Dr. Samuel Bar ron, the Rev. Anna Shaw, and the Rev. Mary A. Saftord. Mrs. Annie L. Dlggs, who has been In Europe ror two years, studying Industrial conditions, was also present. Interest centered around "Colorado Day," when at least a dozen representa tive men and women of the state had charge of the program. Among the speakers was Hon. Alva Adams, ex governor of Colorado; Mrs. Helen Lor lng Grenfell, state superintendent of public instructions; Mrs. Mary C. C Bradford, president State Federation of Woman's clubs; Mrs. Helen Belford of Denver, and Mrs. Sarah Piatt Decker, of the state board of charities and cor rections. ? $ Votb or TKAITXS. The receipt of a check for $100 from the Red Men of Oregon City for the Sacajawea fund has opened a new ave nue for the raising of funds for tho statue, for with It has come the assur ance that as an order the Red Men of the atate will consider it not only their duty but privilege to contribute towards this patriotic cause. The presentation of the check to the members of the board at their meeting Tuesday called forth many expressions of gratitude from the -women who are working for the statue, and a unanimous vote of thanks was ordered sent to Mr. Henry Howard, who dramatized the scene from "The Last of the Mohicans," and to all who so generously contributed to the success ot the entertainment.

Almost every day adds some distin guished man to the list of members of the Sacajawea association, and when the grand roll of honor Is made np at the finish it will be a matter of great pride to know how many relatives and near friends of the exploring party con tributed to make It a success. The last to be enrolled Is the daughter of Sergeant Patrick Gass, who not only sends her own membership from Penn sylvania, but that of several others whom she has Interested In the statue. Mrs. Brlerly writes that she is deeply interested In our exposition and ex presses much enthusiasm for the statue project. t X LA OXAJTOB. The last two meetings of the Neigh borhood club proves it to be still In the front rank of advanced work. No year since Us organisation has the club done better work or has more interest been shown by its members. "Civil Government" was the subject for the last meeting In January, and was logically and interestingly treated by Mrs. George Carpy. . Mrs. Slater gave an interesting talk nn "Women." and Mrs. Worstell, the president, made a re port from the state federation. Several fine musical numbers were given by members of the club.

The selection of traveling gowns Is frequently found to be a difficult matter, for they must be becoming, and above all things practical and useful. One worthy qf attention was carried out in reseda green cloth, its dominant note ell particulars being simplicity. The neat little coat was cut double breasted, and prettily strapped and em bellished with a touch of fine silver em broidery, ' This, when worn open, dis played a daintily tucked lawn shirt with linen collar, and dark green .velvet tie, both being feminine In style, yet of Irre proachable neatness. The skirt was gracefully pleated 'and cut walking length and designed to wear with this costume was a warm green cloth wrap, and m pretty felt hat trimmed with Ivy leaves and berries. . .
