Tho | dates are May 22 to June 8. During ! those seventeen days it is expected that | : fully 20,000 women, representing clubs in every state in the union, as well as | some from Alaska, Japan, England, Hawaii and South Amerfea will at- tend many of the innumerable meet- ings and social functions that have been arranged. New York city this year is said to have more than 500 different conven tions on its calendar but from all in dications none will equal in attendance the gathering of women. Special sen- timent is attached to the women's con- vention hy the fact that although the federation was founded here twenty- six years ago, it is the first time since then that the women have met in New York. It was *“Jennie June” Croly, one of the founders of the Soro: pioneer woman's club in this country, who initiated the idea of a general convention of women's clubs in 1889, and the outcome of this was the hold- ing of the first convention of the gen- eral federation in New York in the following year when sixty-three clubs | were represented by 126 delegates and | the Sorosis was hostes: Chicago, Philadelphia Denver, Milwaukee, Los Louis, St. Paul Boston C Francisco and Chicagd been the convention der named. Louisville, Angeles, St. ncinnati San again, havk cities in the or- The forthcoming conven- | tion, the thirteenth, will have Sorosis again as its hostess, in conjunction with the New York ate and city fed- eration which are working their hardest to make the gathering a not- able one in every direction. The main drill hall of the armory of the Seventh Regiment of the New York National Guard, which will ac- commodate upwards of 8,000 women, will be the principal meeting place. The Colonel's room and other officers’ quarters will be turned over to the | women for headquarte The armory is located at 66th street, occupying an entire block between Lexington and Park avenues. Will El The chief executive - ker, the president of the fed- eration, whose home is in Austin, Tex., but who for the past two ye has been traveling throughout the country keeping in personal contact with the activities of women's clubs. She will not be a candidate for re-election this | year, however, and the question of her | successor will be one of the most im- portant items of business during the convention. The two candidates for the office are Mrs. Samuel B. Sneath, Tiffin, O., and Mrs., Josiah Evans of Los Angeles. The Ohio can- didate is at present first vice presi- dent of the federation, and is a club ! of wide experience. M whose name has been put for- ward by the Californian women, has also been prominently identified with the federation several years as direc- tor, treasurer, and charmain of vari- ous committees. In the words of*Miss L. E. Stearns, one of the directors of the federation, “the business of being a club woman is a big bu and is getting to be a bigger business ev aay This i apparent from the elaborate program that has been arranged for the conven- tion The .topics indicate an increa ingly wide range of affairs in which e club women are ng not only an interest but an active part. There was a time, for instance, when the New York City Federation of Women’s clubs could report on all of its acti- vities at each convention, but now, says Mrs. Bugene J. Grant, the presi- dent of the city federation, it talkes the six conventions of an administra- tion to get through the reports of the thirty-eight committees Wwhich have developed. The general federation has its broad object the furtherance of ever movement in the inter of women, children and mankind general, and the program call reforms, home economics, conversation, indus- trial and social questions, legislation, education, literature, mus public health,—and under these headings come subjects ranging all the way from moving pictures to international relationships. One important an- nouncement that will be made at the convention is thg fact that the feder- ation has raised” an endowment of $100,000. The plan to raise such a sum was voted at the Cincinnati con- vention in 1910, and now that the sum has been realized it will be in- vested by trustees, the interest being used to help carry on the work of the general federation.
