Sirs Towne , beIng - Ing unwilling to assume the duties of the picslilont. It is evpcetecl that an election of a now president will be hold at once. Them has been some talk about different ramli dates among the members of the club , hut as ) et no slate has brcn llxed. ami there Is no way of telling who will bo the ptob- able choice. A movement Is on foot to give Mrs Pe.-utio n lecepllon at the Commercial club looma In connection with some of her other friends and ndmlrers. befoie her departure Thin recomMon will piobibly be fixed for Monday of ncAt week .ind la Intended to bo a RCIS oral expulsion of appteclatlon of the wmlc which she bus done In behalf of the Woman a club nml other Institutions of the city Another Important mutter which will coim up will be the lepoit of the committee on rlub house. This committee , which wan appointed before the Interruption of the reg ular meetings last May , has been giving the subject eaicful attention and feels that theio Is nothing more for It to do without histinotions from thu club as a whole. It has ( x.imlned the plans of women's club houses In different cities and has consulted with architects lieto ns to the probable cost of the dealt rd club house. A number of sites have been offered , nt various prices , n HUltnblo for the pin pose Any one of these sites , however , would require a considera- Tdt outlay ot money , Inasmuch as the com mittee lias nude It a Mist consideration to have * the location within the business area of the city. SEPARATE COHI'ORTION PROPOSED The committee will piobably recommend that in case the club house proposition Is favoiably consldoied , a separate building coiporatlon be foiined , v\lth shares In mod erate * sums , so ns to bo w Ithln the reach ot individual mcmhcMS of tin * dub , nml that when a sufficient mibscilptlon to the Rtoclc Is secured active steps bo taken to bccuio a site and 1m c plans prepared. The question of club house Is so Inti mately cnnnected vv.lth the question of en tertainment of the biennial confeienco of the Woman's Club Federation for 1S98 that the two properly go hand In hand The lo cation of the conference was left to the ex ecutive * council , and It was expected that this council would meet this fall and settle the question The condition of the finances of the federation , bow over , did not seem to Mrs Henrotln , the piebldent. to Justify the- expense of calling the council together. She wrote reccntl ) to the members of the council suggc.sting that they should pay tholr own expenses to ami from the meet ing , which was to have been hold at Cin cinnati upon Invitation ot the Cincinnati Woman's club but out of the tepllcs re ceived found that only two were willing to attend upon those conditions Ono of those two was Mrs Ford , the member from Nebraska. Iho result is that tin * meeting , which was to have been held at Cincinnati within the month , has been called off and postponed until next bprlng. Tills mt-ana that the location ot the IbUS conference will not bo decided bcforo that time , and gives Iho Omaha Woman's club a longer period to decide upon the various ciuettions in volved Announcements will probably bo made at the meeting tomorrow of the progiams ot Iho different departments , nncl active work liogun in those departments before another week shall have clobcd IN LARGE 'BOTTLES.
