J. in the midst of echoes from the biennial of 1904 the next convention is already being budded, says The Municipal Tribune. To work for two years and bring about a series of meetings covering ten days Is a task few women dare set themselves to ac complish. This has been accomplished am now a matter of record. Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker with an able board of di rectors and efficient chairman in every department of work, Is to be congratu lated that the most successful biennial since the Inception of club work has just closed. It has been attended by women, In tellectual, educated, alert and digni fied. It has been presided over by a f >resldent and officers gracious and fair n their rulings. The audience was an Inspiration to speakers and those who took part upon the program felt this close attention and live Interest. The audience recognised the quality of the Intellectual feast spread before them and were loud in words of praise and commendation. The speakers were experts each in his line of work, bringing the beat as a recapitulation of the two years' work. The place of meeting, the armory, was a bower of beauty under the spell ful touch of an artist. The rest rooms were Inviting and comfortable. Great pains had been token during the entire convention to have great bunches of the moccasin flower, Minnesota's chos en blossom, everywhere In evidence. The armory was declared "officially surrendered" by Captain Kelly for ten days, with % picked company of his men to act as bodyguard. Right well they served the ladles of the federa tion, standing In lines to guide them down the steep steps, handing them into carriages and leaving nothing un done which should add to the com fort of thousands of women. It was an impressive sight when Mrs. Decker, on the closing evening, requested that Officers. President—Mrs. Jsmrs Jackson, 98 East Linden arena*. Atlanta. First Vice President—Mrs. M. A.
