In preparing the program for the fifth biennial, Mrs. Buchwater, chairman of tha committee, says it has endeavored to give the clubs an opportunity to report upon the effocts of the ideas generated at the earlier biennials. The three Btanding committees on education, art and industrial conditions have given much time and thought to their re spective departments, and each will con duct most attractive and comprehensive sessions. The other sessions are in the hands of those well fitted to report upon and show progress in their several departments. The biennial program committee has secured a room-in thcAlhambra build ing as permanent headquarters for state presidents and ex-presidents. As the meetings of the federation are held in the Alhambra theater, those for whom this room has been provided will find it very convenient for conference or for moro formal meetings. There is no danger of a dearth of can didates for the presidency of General Federation of Women's Clubs.
