THAT the educational loan fund of
Oregon Federation of Wooman's
a ' clubs has been increased through
the efforts of the Portland clubs at
their recent card party, several Hun
dred dollars, Is a matter of congratu
atlon, and gseat pleasure to every one
Interested in the work. The party was
a success in -every particular; every
committee gave of her best, her time,
her strength and her money. Never
in the history of the -organisation has
there .been "such unanimity of action.
The women that worked went in to
win, and not for self or glory, and
the results proved - the efficiency of

work fell uoon the four main commit
tee those who arranged for the hall

reservations and seated the meats: the
committee that solicited and served thn
refreshments, and the commute . that
distributed the tickets, -aid tha bills
and. took care of the money, and to
an tneir neipera wna made tne whole
wing move Jike clock work.
Fully 600 people were present and
16 minutes after refreshments were
announced every guest had been served.
This is certainly a record and shows
the benefit of organisation. But there
is a finer thought in it than the beau
tiful card oarty : it is the knowledge
of what this money will mean to many
young gins or tne state wno win do
enabled through it to continue their
education and vreDare themselves to
do better work in the, battle of life.
This effort on the part of the Portland
clubs should inspire every club In the
State to make an effort to do some
thing to increase the fund. No matter
how small the offering, it will bring
its reward tenfold to the women of
the state. "

a
ored .br. a visit from' tha t-resident of
the club, Mrs. F. Eggert. and a number
ox oincr visitors were present, ana wun
the regular membership of the class,
the larg room was comfortably full.
A chapter was read from Dr. Lindsley'g

Toga 'philosophy. Both articles brought
out much Interesting discussion. The

M convention of the city f ederatloa, I

one-day session, but the opinion of all
city clubwomen is that ons day la en
tirely too short to transact the n'eces-"
sary business, and hereafter - two days
will be given to Its deliberations. In
reporting the convention -it was akld
that one' of the . most valuable checks
upon time-wasting by many ' speakers
was the rigid enforcement of the rule
that no resolution for convention adop
tion could ba made from the floor. It
Is quite truthfully stated that no single
act of woman's clubs generally has
aroused more lll-feellng - and . warm
words, and too often the rldloule Of the
outside public than, the presentation of
nair-Daxea, megai or xaaaisi resoiu
tlons.
During the cast year the eity federa
tion or iNew Korx has increasea irom
12,000 to 85,000 members. Seventy
seven clubs are members of the federa
tion and an associate membership of
850. There is a scholarship fund, which
pays each month to a poor family the
wage that a girl would earn were she

Miss Eleanor Oils, corresponding seo-
he City Federation hotel for work
ing girls will soon be an accomplished
fact. .
The ohalrman of the art committee
reported that resolutions had been sent
to the mayor and charter commission
asking that at least 1 per cent of the
total appropriation for each school
fiulldlng be set aside for the beautify
ng of such school; urging the decora
tion of the schoolhouse instead of a
prison or a hair of justice. Many other
committees reported equally as good
work.

RS. SARAH 8. PLATT DECKER,
president of the General Federa
tion of Women's clubs, is a rare
story-teller, and the situation is well
portrayed in the following incident,
which she tells herself. Her' name had
been attached to a petition to the city
council of Denver, but she had failed
to indicate her occupation. Upon this
point a man was sent to her home to
Inquire.
."What is your occupation, madam V
he asked.
"I am a housekeeper, sir," she re
plied. "Well, that doesn't count," aald the
man promptly.
"Well. I am both father and mother
to my family," she announced.
"That doesn't count neither," he re
plied firmly. .
"Well, I transact all my own busi
ness," she said briskly. "I collect my
own rents and manage all my own
affairs." (Mrs. Decker has a private
fortune that it would keep the ordinary
man busy to take care of.)
"Have you got an office down town?"
inquired the man. - ...
"No," she said, "I transact all my
business from my desk here In my
home."
"Ah', that doesn't coumi neither," the
man replied .obdurately.
"Well, sir,' said Mrs. Decker at last,
"I am president of the General Fed
