It would be impossible to report all the good things given as “The one thing that impressed me most" at the biennial, as responded to by many Florida women who had the pleasure of attending this great meeting. The great amount of work done, the small amount of finance expended, the concourse of people helped, the excellent administration of Mrs. Pennypacker, and the exec. utive ability of these women was only a few of the many excellent impressions zpoken of. ‘Perhaps the crowning event of the musical program of the convention were the solos rendered by Prof. J. Cameron MclLean, of Tampa, but formerly of Lakeland.. His first se. lection was ‘‘Where My Caravan Has Rested” (Lohr) and a gracious re- gponse to the hearty applause. Later in the evening he sang “The King's Minstrel” (Pinsuite) and responded with “Annie Laurie,” which in his sweetly sympathetic voice with the rleasing Scotch accent, won him such approval that the Federation ladies uvnanimously asked that he be requested to be present and give se- lections for the last evening, Fri- day, of the convention.
