ress.
The Proceedings.
The convention was opened by Hon.
A. D. Hensley with a brief but fer-
vent invocation, followed by a short
address in which he briefly outlined
the glorious future that awaits a Civ-
ic Club organization in this city. He
was followed by. Judge Helman, who
pledged his personal andi official sym-
pathy and co-operation in whatever
the Civic Club might undertake to
do,

she outlined the history of the Civic
Club movement in America and gave
a general idea of its purpose and rec-

time she had exhausted her topic her
audience had taken a new grip on ts
enthusiasm and was ready to take up

There was bright promise of a bril-
liant career for the Bay City Civic
Club in the patience with which the
large assemblage of, ladies sat in the
cold yesterday afternoon for nearly
three hours and maintained through-
out an enthusiastic interest in the
proceedings, much of which was dull
routine. In spite of a roaring fire
in one of the large stoves with which
the building is heated, the room was
uncomfortably chilly, and the hero-
ism of the ladies was most eloquently
testified to by their red noses. Any
woman who will dare a red nose is
a heroine and a martyr to the cause
in behalf of which she sustains that
fatal blemish to feminine beauty.
The meeting was largely attended,
by representative ladies from every
section of the city, and every one
present was plainly intent on busi-
ness. There was no unseemly levity
or lack of decorum, but on the other
hand, to the eye accustomed to the
hilarious and free-and-easy conven-
tions of the other sex, there was a
wee bit of oppressiveness in the su-
perb dignity of the body and the som-
bre solemnity of its movements. But
that was the feminine manifestation
of sincerity of purpose and concen-
tration of the faculties upon the bus-
iness in land. Besides, the dear
