There ia every reason to think that there will be a large attendance at the biennial. The club women of Milwau kee, supported in u moat substantial manner by the Citizens' Business league, are making the most elaborate and care ful preparations to receive the feder ation. The entertainments which have been offered the board are many and most fascinating from their varied char acter. In all social affairs the fifth biennial will not Buffer by comparison with those which have preceded it. Fraternally youra, C. B. Bcchwalter, Chairman Biennial Committee. Under the auspices of the Wakefield Woman's club, Mre. Keysor of Omaha gave a 6tereopticon lecture in the Pres byierian church, the same being the fourth of a series of lectures under the management of the school 'board. A special invitation was extended to the federated clubs of Wayne, which was accepted by a goodly cumber. In honor or Mrs. Keysor, the following day, a de lightful luncheon and reception were given at the home of the vice president, Mrs. C. W. Long. Let every woman's club in Lincoln join the state federation before the close of this study year, elect its del egates and be ready to extend a proper welcome to the state federation which will meet here in October. It will be too late to attend to thie after reconvening in the fall. Committees must be appointed and the work planned this summer.

Most of tho addresses were by well known philanthropists or recognized specialists. One of the strongest is written by Mrs. Helen Gardiner on a subject of vital importance to human ity, "Can Heredity be Modified ?" While Mrs. Gardiner believes that heridity is as eternal as the hills, she claims that it is equally true that the conditions under which we develop or restrict our inherited tendencies will determine largely whether heredity shall be our "slave-driver or our companion in the race for life and liberty, and whether we shall pass on to our children a better or woree, a weakened or a strengthened inheritance." It doubles the responsi bilities of parents to realiza that they are responsible for the physical, mental and moral quality of their children and their chances tor life; to know that while inheritance meanB much, environment means equally aB much. It is impossible within the limits of a critical notice to advert to all the help ful essays in this report. Dietetics, Parents aod the Schools, Mistakes of Mothers, Nurse Maids, The Don't Worry Movement, Mothers of Blind and Deaf Children, etc , are 6omo of the subjects treated. The book is a treasure to those interested in the life and needs of child hood and the responsibility of mother hood. The fourth congress will be held in Des Moines May 21 to 25, and we hepe the generous offer of the citizens of that city to entertain one thousand delegates free of charge will crowd the city beyond its limits "Industrial exhibits" and "Home scienco receptions" are becoming great favorites with women's clubs. Each take the form of a competitive exhibit ion of home manufactures or domestic accomplishments. At a home science reception to be held in Chicago this spring, cooks, waitresses, maidj and laundresses may try their skill and prizes will be awarded to them and to the servants who can present certificates of longest service. Prizes will be given for the best bread, cake, salad and pud ding, for the b:st laundry work and for mending. The good articles will be sold and the proceeds divided between tho competitor and the committee. The idea of tho exhibit is to establish a per manent organization for an annual home science exhibit in Chicago after that which has been recently established in London. "What most impresses me as I mingle with the club women of tho country?" repeated Mrs. Lowe. Then she an swered promptly: "I think it is the comradeship among the club women. Then, of course, I am impressed with the growth of organization. This is particularly true in the south. The eouthorn club women seem to be doing more bocauso they are growing faster.

The question has been raised that because the federation is so big it is difficult to handle, but I want to say, after one year'e experience as president, that this is not so. We want to keep it big and extend it as far as possible. The pres ent trend of the club movement, as I have observed it, is sociological. In the beginning it was educational, and this feature of the work ia still successfully developed all over the country.' Amer ican Club Woman. The Denver Tuesday Musical club has the following rules under which can didates for membersip are examined: Pianists will be required to play one selection from one of the following com posers: Beethoven, Schumann, Chopin, Brahms, Schubert and also one selec tion of their own choice.

In crajoa and pastel the work exhibited by Mrs. Armstrong and class formed a very attractive feature, among which that of Hemy Goehner deserves special mention. The exquis ite pieces of china, most of wbi:h were decorated by Miss Butterfleld's class, were a surprise to all. It is extremely difficult to specialize, but the talent displbyed by Miss Gay Palmer deserves special mention. The lamp shade drawn by Stevo Lang-1 worthy was a fine piece of work. M GivenB display of photography was fine. The club silhouettes by Miss Palmer were very true to life if not beautiful, showing that she belongs to the real istic school.
