The sixth biennial meeting of the na
tional federation of women's clubs,
which is to be held at Los Angeles
from Hay 1 to-May 8, will signalize Ine
running of the first women's special
train, and gather together more promi
nent club women than any previous
event has yet witnessed.
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. The
