Tha ladles who organised the . Tuesday Af ternoon club became conscious that they ' were allowing their material interests to so engross their time snd thoughts that mental development waa being re- j tarded. In consequence of which this . 1 club was organised. Wfhave a llm-J Sted membership, -vacancies being filled i from our waiting list: - We meet every j Tuesday from October to June, except- "' lng those during the holidays. Our av-I rage attendance la four fifths of our to French and German history and literature, and . for two years studied Greek mythology, antiquity arid lore, traveled with the Aryana from India to Europe, saw the division of the Celts .and Gauls, read carefully the settle ment of Enjland, learned of Its political, ecclesiastical ' and ' social - progress through years of strife, warfare and '"' insurrection, sailed with Columbus to ' the -discovery of the new world, lived Tand luted English lilstuiy and literature, with Chaucer, Beaumont and Fletcher. , Shakespeare and noted historians of the sixteenth century. This brief review of past years brings me now to tba special object of this report our last '' year's work. We began with the mak - lng of the Anglo-Saxon race, which was divided Into Celts snd Teutons and English. Wt learned of the nature of the country at the time the Druids were conquered by the Romans, which In turn gave place to the Anglo-Saxon conquest; . saw paganism turned to Catholicism, which waa supplanted by J Protestantism. ' One of ' tha most Im portant conditions during this period was the reign of Arthur, from which many of our ..celebrated poets have drawn the Inspiration for their most "delightful -songs. t We exulted In the advancement of . Enrlasd during; the reirn of the Tudors, Wtatck reached tta height under Elisa beth. Our com Ins; year's work la to , be a continuation of the studr of Ens - llsh. Although the study of tbs Tues day Afternoon , lub Is a heavy one, we . find it an advantage to devote a part of each session to social features. One half hour of club time (mar be extend d) by Invitation of the hostess. Is a-tven to conversation and refreshments, tha nature of whtqh Is at -the pleasure " f the hostess. We have been told that thla club excels In dining. If this be fact, and perhaps It may be, we have - demonstrated that clubwomen are tha best hoeuewlves the world Jias ever produced. On the evening of May t " we tendered our husbands a banquet, ', Which waa the crowning achievement of the social g)ories of . the Tuesday Afternoon club. A delightful afternoon was spent by the club members and Invited guests In an automobile ride, - f which our president. Mrs. White, was the charming hoateas.

Aa delegate to this convention I have,, tha honor of prrspnttng to the tst " " Federation of Women's Clubs a brief report of the first year's work of the Illinois Study club. Tha club was -' originally the auxiliary to tha Illinois State society, snd at the close of the Lewis and Clark fair became a perma 1 rient club, affiliating with both stats surd city federations, -it had been the Jntentkra of the club, at Its closing ' meeting last yoar, to open In the fall ' as a department club, not confining Us membership to residents of . Illinois, which would i necessitate change In tba name if the club. At a special meeting, called by tbs president Octo- ... ber It waa decided that In view, of the unavoidable absence of our presi dent this winter tha department work would not bs taken up at this time, but held In abeyance until another year.' . In the meantime the work of departf ment will be made a Study to enable . the members to bs better prepared for tha aatual work. It was also deemed advisable to Changs tha name of the vlub la order to broaden out and take ' in new members. The nam. "Portno- man Study club" was the unanimous choice, which Is a combination of the tames of the city and county.

It Is with great pleasure and a little pride that I report to you of tha work and prosperity of the Portland Wom an's club for tha past year... It has not only grown financially and numerical ly, but the' club spirit which Is so es sential to the substantial and perma nent growth of every club baa gained In strength and progreaslveness. ' Only one who bss been a member of this club from the beginning can real ise how - Ita members have broadened. Arguments - favoring - woman's - clubs scarcely need presentation at thla day and age. The metaphor Is as profound ly true today as when first uttered, "Iron sharpeneth iron, so a msa sharp eneth the countnncaof hie friend." We women are too prone to think that our own pet ideas are the only ones of importance. If a club by bringing v snndertho Influence of other , w leer women then ourselves teaches us that they, too, have Ideas demanding consid eration, and that we must .listen ss well as utter. It haa taken the longest and most difficult step toward culture and breadth of view, for culture la tot-erahcer- and education that haa not given us the ability to see and under stand tbe thoughts ss well aa needs of those around us has failed. .' It haa been my especial privilege to attend the biennial at Los Angeles and St. Paul, to meet with and liaten to the great men and women who come - to these conventions to tell us of their ef forts toward the uplifting of mankind, and to urge upon tha clubs to aid In thla great and; noble work. The har vest Is ripe and It la bounteous, but there U much need of laborers, men having no time. It haa fallen to women to do this work, snd how can they do It better than through the clubs and federations, . for there la always strength Iq untted effort. . We feel that the Woman's club of Portland baa not only been a benefit to Its members, but an uplifting faotor in the community. It has It active departments, all doing good work. . The educational department took the Initiative In working for the establish ment of a public playground In Port land, and their efforts have been near ly crowned with success. I fully be lieve thst before another summer haa passed they will see the fruits or their l lannr ripen into perfect success, Tbs Investigation of blgb school fra- GOLDEN BALLS HUGE YELLOW.

The Jew ish people suffering In ths hands of the Russians were voted 126. To strick en San Francisco the club not only gave $50, but ISO more was raised by sub scription from club members, many others helping with willing bands to mend and distribute clothing to ths refugees who came to our city for 'safety. We gave $25 to tha Open Air sani tarium and 125 to the suffrage cause. Ths club haa for four years paid the expenses of a scholarship in tha T. M. C. A. for a boy, and has responded many times to tha call for books to aid In establishing publto libraries in small towns, and without being able to own a horns of Its own haa helped to awell the fund of many eluba who were working to build a clubhouse. From Its ranks a market Inspector has been called, and a good one,, too. In appreciation of this fact the club voted her their hearty cooperation and support. Ths club has bsen honored by the placing of one of Ita members, Mra S. A. Evans, on ths Nstlonal Federation board. Mrs. Evans la also our honored state president. Another of our mem bers, Mrs. C. E. Litton, serving one term as achool director, " was unani mously re-elected, no ona being willing to run sgalnat her. The club feeling that an effort should be msde to stem the ttde of commer cialism that threatens to Inundate the nation at tha sacrlfics of love for nat ural beauty sent a protest to Washing ton against the' destruction of Niagara Falls. Sens tor Fulton answered, say ing he would uss all his Influence in that direction. Applying ths asms principle nearer home, we have tried to preserve the beautiful ' falls , and acenlorocks ot the Columbia. The social sIdSofth-rtobbrrot been neglected. During tha fair months the elutk gave two Beautiful -recaptions. onaVi- the handsome rooms of the Commer cial club to the National Woman's Suffrage convention, and one In the beautiful Oregon building to tbe hosts and hostesses of other state buildings. Both were largely attended and we have good reason to believe bore fruits many fold In good will and kindly feeling and In the uplifting of the club. ' Many of tbe departments' meet at the homes of the members. After the study hour they discuss their work over the good things . the hostess has prepared for them, and the club meetings sel dom close without a social hour with a cup of -tea. As a celebration of our club anniver sary, we Inaugurated this year a ban quet, which was well attended and thoroughly enjoyed, and wa hope will become a yearly event. This year haa been a banner year for Increased - membership, it members having been enrolled, and wa havs had a small average of resignations. Aa a charter member of this club, In looking back over the ten years of ths club life, I see great changer for the better and great possibilities for - the future. Respectfully submitted, P. A.
