find ouraelvea finally within the bor

proaching hlatorlft Boaton.
Finning upon our ahnuldera, a re

long before we reach our Mecca, are
f - . I. . V. . . .1 .. l.nBnl
mane aware ur ui. uuwumisd n,.i-i-
fallrv that awalta ua and that the fore
word to the Boaton guide book I no
empty sound. From thla we quote In
-. part follow: "We, the forty tnou
aand clubwomen of Maaaaohusett,
f reeling you a fellow-worker In the
leld of humanitarian endeavor and a
' fellow-member of our national organ
ization, remember alao that whether
through ancestral line or through ln-
tellectual Inheritance, you ex all co

commonwealth."
. Nearle an hour before reaching Bo.
, ton, although on 8unday afternoon, our
. forty thousand hoateaaea began to be In
. .vl.iene.- flr.t In the r.erson of a typi
cal Maaaachuaett lady who boarded our
train and aeeKlng ua opt weicomea ui
in mAt rr.plnus manner: at the at

awaiting us, aa guide o me iieptr.iiu
and baggage ort ices, tne carriage aianaa,
ruiinn nr to elve anv desired infor-
. matlon, these ladies all dressed in white
according to orders. I quote again:
"Members of the committee will be
dressed In white, as it is Deuevea py
those planning this attention to the
visitor that uch attlr. when on 1
Just In from a hot, duBtv ride on steam
car la calculated to add a refreshing
grace to words of welcome."
I had scarcely laid down my pen after
' registering at my hotel before being
accosted by a lady, evidently a resident
guest of th hotel and elegantly dressed
for Sunday evening dinner who. an
nounced herself a the hostess nf the
delegate at that house; ane accom
panied me to my room, helped m re
move my wrap and eacorted me to the
- roof garden which she suggested would
be a pleasant place to dine on auch a
warm summer evening.
. Hostesses to the right of us. hostesaes
v to the left of u, so that on either hand
service Attended us, hostesses in front
of us to clear tne war xor our pleasure
onH nrnfit. and hostesses behind us In
effort and Influence. The good book
says that "Where your treasure is mere
will your heart be also." Having raised
'118,000 for the occasion, naturally the
heart. Interest and very selves of theae

STo Selfish Reservation.
i ' And what hare of this, think you, our
" hostesses reserved for themselves?
Aside from the regular delegates only
two fifths of their number received
tickets of admission as spectators to
our session. Of our 40,000 hosteasas
": only 16,000 had the doubtful chance of
i securing admission and a seat at even
our Tegular sessions of the entire eon-
. ventlon. I dwell thus at length upon
the hospitality of Boston and Massa
chusetts, even at the risk of curtailment
elsewhere, because the proverbial New .
' Rna-land coldness was so absolutely un-
dlscoverable that the west may Well
i look to Its laurels n n wouia ieaa in
unreservedly cordial and whole-souled
hospitality. Apropos of this I quote
from Mrs. Mav A Id en Ward's address
of welcome: "If you find the weather
1 a bit tropical It is Decause we have been
o eager to give you a warm welcome,
to refute the charge so often made
against- u of coldness. These lines of
a western paper have long wrinkled in
pur hearts:
" "He pressed a kiss upon her lips a
burning kiss, it froie,
- The maiden was a native of what city
dn tmi nunraisf ?'
"We trust that when you leave us you
will be able to say you did not find
. Boston cold."
On Monday morning Invested with our
Oregon state naage we repairea vo oyni
- nhmiv ball there to nresent our cre
dentials and receive the insignia of the
btennial. which, tor tne succeeding iu
days was the open sesame to every
- thing of interest to a clubwoman.
Quick Decorations,
Th waiting throngs outside the door
wondered at the seemingly long dela y,
while the committee inside, in an in
credibly hort space of time Installed the
necessary paraphernalia for the busi
ness of the convention, having only
from the morning hours had possession
of the building which had been occu
pied Saturday evening; Sunday and
Tinatnn Riinriflv laws intervening and
preventing a single aeiau or preparauuu
until Monday morning dawned.
The registration of delegates and al
ternates from the ciud or oi American
women or Snangnai. inina, anu lrum
the eight clubs of the canal zone feder
ation added a new and lntereetlug fea
ture to this occasion.
Time falls In which to speak of the
many conveniences provided for the
accommodation of the delegates. Noth
ing was lacking that could In any way
minister to our care convenience and
comfort, even to an lnoxhuuatlble sup
ply of fans to assist ua In bearing the
almost Insufferable heat.
Breakfast at Hotel.
The MomlRy noon breakfast given at
the Hotel Westminster by the Profes-
sionl Women's club and the Paul Jones
chapter of the V. A. K. was the nrsi
social event of the week.
Our Mrs. Bingham failed to find me
in time to extend an Invitation, but re
turning the later part of the afternoon
to the seen?, as I was stopping at tha..
hostelry, it was mv privilege to meet
A4ra. Bingham and to bear several
ipeeche iiv prominent women of rm
tinnal repu'tation. the wife of Boston's

huaetie federation tendered a poneral

which kept open house for our recep

The Mon.Sav evening concert by the
Boston 8i-tr,rhinr orchestra, conducted
polr
and
ila
all subaemient aeaalnna fine or

lloatoniri orcheatra composed of women
and conducted by Mra. Renfrew; alao
that at all evening aeaalona fin addi
tional iminlc, both vocal and Instru
mental, ik provided and greatly en
joyed! After eloquent addresaea of
welcome were given by Governor Guild
and mayor Hlbbard In behalf of thn
state and rltv. respectively. Mra. Julia
Ward Howe aa honorary prealilent of
the state federation extended greetings
She said, in nart:
"Our Boaton has seen many novel
slahta. but what sDectacle has she seen
more novel than this? An army of
women from all parts of a broad con
tinent, armed only with Justice and with
patience, Intent only upon promoting
the public welfare, the common good
Weloom extended.
For the state federation Mr. Mary
Alden Ward extended an earneat and
hearty welcome and from har words I
quote what I would commend as worthy
to become the slogan of every woman a
club, vis.: "We have pledged ourselves
to work ror better nomes, Deiter sur
roundings, better, citizenship, better
law, civic health, clvia righteousness.
In responding Mrs. Decker voiced th
eniimeni or tne convention in saying:
"Coming to N.W England means com
ing home and we aocupt your hospitality
a blood relations."
Th main addresaea of the evening
were- .two. the flrt bv Mra. uenlson.
honorary president of the general fed
eration on "The lOng J'ath, in which
he et forth th development of woman
and the woman movement, citing as a
culminating episode the invitation from
the president of the United States to
tne president of the general federation
(Mrs. Decker) to attend as a partici
pating member a conference of the
governors of all tha states. The last
speaker of the evening, Professor Tur
blln on "Democracy and Culture," gave
ns hi premise this definition, "Culture
Is the habit of a mind Instinct with pur
pose, oognlzant of a tendency and con
nection in human achievement, able end
industrious in discerning the great from
the trivial."
Eloquently he elaborated his claim
that, the political movement, the labor
movement, and the woman movement
are the three great movement which
are shaping society and that the person
of sound culture- will not be Ignorant
of these things. With the singing of
America oy me vast auaience tne rirst
session closed. "And the evening and
the morning were the first day"; and
we saw that It was good and returned
thanks for the Inestimable privilege of
living In the twentieth century and of
being even an humble participant tn the
noble achievements to which woman
hood has attained.
Westerner to Front.
Wednesday morning was given to
greetings from foreign clubs, reports of
committees, officers, bureaus and a
word from the eight directors. Including
our own member, Mrs. Evans, who al
ways and In every place acquitted her
self (With credit to herself, her state
and the states of Washington and Idaho
who claim her as their renresentatl vo
also. We hardly realize the advantage
to us as a club and state of having a
representative on the offlc al board.
The able report of Mrs. Decker, replete
with valuable suggestions of which Mrs.
Evans mav rierhaDs speak, closed the
morning session. The afternoon was
given to duplicate sessions and confer
ences. Wednesday evening was the
Literature session." Preceding the nd-
resses came an "Ode to Woman" bv
the gifted South Carolina poetess. Miss
uuve j mora uargin,
Ed ard . H. Clement of the Boston
Transcript, speaking on "Journalism
and the Intellectuals," deplored the
tendency of college men to go Into busi
ness rather than to take up professions.
He claimed that the intellectual aris
tocracy of the country 1 the only real
aristocracy.
Hi tribute to clubwomen took this
form: "All the honor that woman Is
winning for herself is giving dignity
and fo,rce 10 that modern social philoso

followed by reports from the literature

"Civic session"; the report of the chair
man, Mrs. Joseph Dehrill of Texas being
followed by four addresses. C. How
ard Walker on "Municipal Art." pointed
out the place and dutv of women's
clubs in securing the city beautiful.
Next followed one of the most Inter
esting addresses of the biennial on
"Conditions In the Canal Zone" by Miss
Helen Varwig Hoswell of New York
City, from which I quote llterallv: "It
reaulred six days to reach the Isthmus i
of Panama. For five weeks I wnt
daily up and down Its length, planning
and accomplishing the club work I am
to tell you all about in 10 minutes."
""It is not a far crv from the

was men of skill In their different lln-s

At the civic conference In the afternoon-
Mrs. Rufus P. Williams presented
the subject of "Tuberculosis as the
World's Greatest Problem" and urged
the responsibility of club women and
their duty to secure legislation en
acting measures for its prevention and
cure.
An excursion to historic Salem with
receptions by the clubs of that city in
the beautiful Y. M. C. A. building, with

Four Interesting Aderres.
Saturday evening was the "Legisla
tive and Industrial session." Of the
four interesting addresses we will men
tion only two. First on "Welfare
Work" by Mrs. Joseph Medlll Mccor
mick of Chicago, a daughter of Mark
Hanna. Her life and environment
might easily have developed a social
butterfly, flitting from sweet to sweet,
but her easiest efforts In behalf of
the wives and families of employes In
the stockyard dlstrlot, and her matter-of-fact
way of meeting and solving
prouiem tnere confronting ner gave
mat ring or true goia.
Naturally, the stirring address of
Senator Albert J. Beverldgs of Indiana
on National legislation on CriHd l.
bor" was the climax of the week and
one of the most noted addresses of the
biennial. His story 'of the wrongs of
children, his fearless arraignment of
congress fofr its long evasion of and
half hearted action on this question was
thrilling In the. extreme, and his chal
lenge to all clubwomen to champion the
cause of outraged childhood could not
fall to arouse every hearer to Interest
and action.
On Sunday afternoon at Symphony

This was followed by a vesper serv

Club work will not be measured by
the scope of its programs. Its social
features or Its numbers, but by tiie
Interest It awakens, the activities it
creates and the work It accomplishes
Do we realize this? Then let us
unite our resources for our advance
ment, for the uplifting of mankind,
make the best of our opportunities to
promote the purposes for which this
club Is organized.
In transacting the business of the
club we should not lose sight of the
proper rudiments of conducting busi
ness. Time is too valuable to waste
or parley over trivial things or mere
technicalities. We should speak di
rectly to the question, be as brief as
possible so ss to give all who desire
to do so an opportunity to be heard.
A timid member may have a good
thought to express.

until it tests Its membership by work
