The .' movement, which received its great Impetus at the Chicago world's fair, when Mrs. Potter Palmer lent her best efforts to the furtherance of the club idea, although never really a club woman herself, has been growing ever "since and now is represented by a body of women constituting the best element of American womanhood. From the program . mapped out the convention should not only be fruitful of good results to club life but also prove a very pleasant outing for those who participate in it. . Among the prominent features of the week at Los Angeles will be the cele bration of the annual Fiesta de las Flores, the date of which has been changed in honor of the visitors. Few, but those who have seen it, have any idea of .the rare beauty of this spectacle. It is looked upon by the people of the Pacific coast as is Mardi Gras by the residents of the south. Months of preparation are required for the celebration of the fiesta, the opening event of which is a grand procession in honor of the queen. The royal cpurt is set up in one of the city parks, where a stand capable of accommodating from thousand people is ten rto twenty provided.
