addressed the federation. One of the
important questions discussed was the
"Relation of the Domestic Problem to
the Industrial Problem," another, "Tho
laws of Massachusetts as they affect the
conditions of women and children," and
one of the interesting talks of the con
vention was by a wage-earning woman,
who spoke of wage earners as she saw
and knew them. Wednesday, in Mrs
Lowe's honor, was given over to social
festirities in which Boston club women
excel. Wednesday evening there was a
public meeting in Tremont Temple ad
dressed by Mayor Quincy and Mrs.
Lowe. Mr. Walter A. Wjcoff, whose
articles on "The Workers,"' published in
Scribner's magazine, have attracted so
much attention, also spoke on '-Some
Phases of Industrialism." The appre
ciation of Mrs. Lowe's visit was demon
strated by the many pleasant affairs
planned in her honor. The Cantabrigia
club gave a brilliant reception for our
new president Friday evening, Decem
ber 9, at the Hotel Vendome. The
same evening Mrs. Lowe was the guest
of honor at a reception given by the
Daughters of Vermont to Governor and
Mrs. Smith, of Vermont, and Governor
and Mrs. Wolcott, of Massachusetts.
This reception was given in the presi
dential suite of the Vendome and many
distinguished guests were present. The
Heptorean club of Someiville enter
tain Mrs. Lowe Saturday, December 10,
and on Monday, December 12, the New
England Woman's Press association
gave a recaption in her honor, which
was largely attended. After the feder
ation Mrs. Lowe was entertained by the
Middlesex club of Lowell. Later she
was entertained by the Thought aad
Work club of Salem, and other iniluen
tial clubs have expressed so earnest a
desire to do honor to the national presi
dent, that Mrp. Lowe will somewhat pro
long her visit with these delightful club
women.
The North Bend Woman's club met
in regular session Saturday, December
10. Roll call was very generally re
sponded to by quotations about women.
"Duties of Women as Members of So
ciety," was very ably handled by Mrs.
Eigler. "Extravagance and Prudence
of "Women Financially, Mentally and
Physically," was the next subject opened
by MrB. Sherman, a general discussion
followed. Then a debate was suggested,
subject, "R solved, That Men Are More
Extravagant Than Vomen." This
caused a great deal of amusement, be
cause it was "taxation without repre
sentation." A finely rendered instru
mental duet by Mrs. Walrath and Miss
Ella Johnson. The next was a wel
written article on the "Non-payment of
Women,' by Mrs. Fannie Smith. A
very impressive solo, entitled "Papa's
Letter to Heaven," was then given by
Mrs. Bessie Roberts. We were then fa
vored with an excellent paper on "Let
ting Alone, a Means of Child Training,"
by Mrs. Thompson. This subject was
then thoroughly discussed by the club.
"Snap Shots from Mental Kodaks," was
responded to by bright, witty sayings of
children, wherein parents may see some
mistakes they make and some which
have caused bad results. Great in
terest is alwayB manifested when we
have "Child Study" on the program.
Very properly, what can be more impor
tant than the training or bringing up of
our children.
Although the G. F. W. C. means to
have "neither politics or religion in its
fold by name," still the questions, which
are constantly presenting themselves in
current events, nearly always involves
one and many times both of these sub
jects, especially when we speak of the
latter as applied religion and in the
near future we shall see and be willing
to admit that they are, the fundamental
principles underlying the club move-
