FWHE clubs this week fell under the spell of the Carnival and practically
a suspended work to stop and play awhile in the glow and the light of
the Spring Fiesta. Only one or two remained firm as the Rock of Gibraltar
and held meetings or attended to business. The rest wanned into life like
Calatea and joined the throng of pleasure seekers, and so there was lit-
tle doing of moment in club circles. Work will, however, be resumed
quite briskly the coming week, for the time is growing short, as the end
of the year is drawing to a close. Some elections of officers remain, and
committees to arrange for programs and year books have much to do.
Many of the clubwomen are busy making ready »n entertain the women of
the three big conventions which will be here in May—the Texas Woman's
Press Association, the Texas Press Association and the convention of physi-
cians. There will be several brilliant functions given for the visiting la-
dies of all three of these, and the clubwomen are planning for them and
for some minor affairs, for the end of the year is always marked by meet-
ings of a social nature.
VST ELL, the mad and merry whirl is over until next time. There are many
•* bouquets being handed and not all of these are to the Queen's court,
though they have a surfeit. Many of these are thrown to Mrs. T. A. Coleman,
the president of the Battle of Flowers Association, to whose untiring efforts the
brilliant success of many of the features of the Carnival are due. Mrs. Cole-
man is not the kind of president to take the glory and let the others do the
work. She puts her own hand to the plow and never turns back either. She
did not stand back on doing anything from decorating vehicles with her own
fair hands to moving them out of the rain when there was not a man about
to do it. On one occasion she was called up by the chairman of a committee
who had made an entry: "How much can you give us to decorate with?" she was
asked. After informing them what she could allow, the next question was,
"Who can we get to decorate for us? We don't know where to get anyone."
"Do it yourself," said Mrs. Coleman, "that's what I'm doing." "We don't know
how," was the reply. "Well, try and if you can't, I'll come and do it for you,"
said the encrgetic president. If there were more workers of this type it would
not be such a job to pull off a successful flower battle, for no one can imagine,
save those who have been doing it, what hard work it is, especially when a
few have to bear the brunt.
In a very chatty letter to the clubs
of the State Federation from the presi-
dent, Mrs, E. Ilertzberg has this to say:
"Of course, you all know, dear friondB,
the result of the good work done by our
committee on legislation to bring about
the enactment of a law on married wom-
en's property rights. In last week's pa-
pers was published the report of the
legislative committee, and this gave In
detail the work actually accomplished by
the committee.
"Though the bill Is not all that we had
hoped for, It has paved the way tor bet-
tering the condition of the married woman
in Texas.
"immediately upon the passage of this
law, telegrams - xpresslng thanks were
sent by your Stato president to the
House of Representatives, the Senate and
tho Governor.
"In this letter I also wish to thank all
who so kindly helped the federation In
bringing to a successful Issue this matter,
which for nine years has engaged the
earnest efforts and hard work of our
federation.
"Though nothing hns been gained on
securing legislation on compulsory edu-
cation, we hope that the next adminis-
tration will succeed In making this pos-
sible.
"At the peace conference to he held In
St. Louis in May the Texas Federation
of Women's Clubs will be officially rep-
resented by Mrs. Mary L. Chrlstensen,
State chairman of peace committee, she
having been appointed delegate.
"The committee on literature, Mrs.
Sam Crowther, chairman, 1* sending out
rules covering a literary contest on orig-
inal compositions to the different clubs.
I hope that many will enter thle con-
test, for It means much toward develop-
ing tho talent along literary lines of our
TexaB women. Mrs. Crowther asks that
two year books be sent to her from
each club. The clubs should comply with
thlB request Just as soon as they have
Issued their new calendars.
"The district meetings are now a thing
of the past. It was Indeed a sourc^of
deep regret that I could not attend these
conventions. You have elected new of-
ficers who will efficiently continue the
good work undertaken by their prede-
cessor I sincerely hope that each and
every clubwoman realizes that she plays
a very Important part In contributing to
the success of, first, the district, and
that the district In turn makes possible
a successful whole In the State Federa-
tion.
"I want to make clear here a question
that appears to bo misunderstood. Fre-
quently we are asked: 'Is It necessary
that the Individual club should be a
member of both the State Federation and
of one of the five districts?'
"This question was BCttled at the San
Angelo State meeting by the executive
board. The final decision was reached
when Mrs. Maggie W. Barry spoke In
the following tarnis: 'I hold tliat Indi-
vidual clubs In Texas must be members
both of the State Federation and one of
the five districts. A yardstick may bo
divided Into three feet, but every Inch In
the yardstick must be Included In one of
th» thr>e feet, otherwise It cannot be a
part of the yardstick. The Texas Federa-
tion la made up of one single kind of a
unit—Individual clubs—then this whole Is
divided Into five parts. I think It would
be fulal to the Interests of our federa-
tion to have the districts ever get the
Idea that they are Individual units.
While it Is the business of the district
anil Its privilege to make Its own assess-
ments and collect them, It Is unquestion-
ably obligatory upon all clubs to fulfill
the requirements of their district Then,
too, let us nut forget that only a club
In good standing, which means paid up
dues In the State and the district, may
have a delegate seated, the club In good
standing only has a vote. It will be well
for all club presidents to make a note
of this, so ns to avoid confusion at the
State convention In November."

Commerce St.
most strenuous month of all, for I
reached home only two days since after
five weeks of continuous traveling.
My first stop was In Dallas, Tex , where
the Forum, a large department eiub, gave
a breukfust of 2iX» covers to MIhb ( lydo
Clianler, a gifted young sculptor, and to
me. The nffalr was beautiful In every
detail, but what I prized especially was
the love shown our artist, liccuusn 1 feel
It may Incite clubs to do the same, let me
tell you the story of Miss Clianler. When
sin. was a mere child, slio spent hours
each day modeling In clay. It chanced
that nno of our strongest women, Mrs.
W. A. Calloway (Pauline Periwinkle el
the Dallas News), noticed her work, be-
came deeply Interested, and encouraged
her. Later Mrs. Calloway submitted Ills
girl's models to Kllzubeth Ney, the Kuro-
I'oan ncillptor, and to Dorado Taft. Both
these authorities said Miss Clianler had
real genius. Some of the club women of
iJullua then asked the privilege of making
It possible for the young artist to study
In America aud Europe. This spring she
competed for and won a great commis-
sion, a memorial fointuln. As 1 noted
how thoroughly unspoiled Miss Clianler
was In spite of success, as 1 remarked
how every woman at the breakfast
beamed with pride and Interest In what
this slip of a girl had accomplished,. 1
thought. "What a blessing It Is both to
give and to receive." Later, while in
Chicago, I had the pleasure, together with
some Chicago friends, of calling on Miss
Clianler In her studio. We were surprised
and delighted to find that Mr. and Mrs.
Lorado Taft, together with a group of
famous artists, musicians und literary
people, had gathered tcr have tea with
us. Ae wo went from studio to studio we
felt deeply grateful to the famous master,
Mr. Taft, for having gathered about him
seventeen young aculptora, who bid fulr
to be a credit to American art. To see
Mr. Taft's own work was Indeed a privi-
lege. It gave me cepeclal pleasure to hear
his hearty praise of Miss i 'hanler and to
Bee the model of her exquisite creation.
You will be Interested to know that Mr.
'raft Is always ready to pay tribute to
what the club women of the l'nlied States
havo done and are doing for the advance-

After the breakfast I had the pleasure
of speaking to the Dallas Shakespeare
Club, of which my hostesses, Mrs. Dick-
son and airs. Henry Exull, have been
members and president since the organ-
ization. Tills club of fifty women gave to
the Carnegie Library a pair of magnifi-
cent bronze lamps. This donation has
done much towards educating the public
taste lu the matter of exterior lighting of
public buildings.
I reached St. Louis Salnday night
and hid a delightfully quiet Sunday at
the home of Mr, and Mrs. Phillip N.
Moore. Monday brought an Important
conference with Mrs. Henrotln and Mrs.
Moore.
OUR PAST PRESIDENTS.
I wonder If we women of the federation
sufficiently appreciate our blessings In
having such women as our past presi-
dents to aid us In every undertaking'.'
When I think ot what Mrs. Henrotln, Mrs.
Denlsou and Mrs. Moore represent In the
world of womanhood, I am most grateful
for their wise counsel and generous as-
sistance. There is another, who, no
longer with us In body. Is yet ever In eur
midst. The Influence of our beloved Mrs.
Sarah Piatt Decker Is aa keenly felt to-
day as when ahe walked among us with
her marvelous personality and her un-
failing optimism. No Important question
comes up for consideration that I do not
wonder what Mrs. Decker would have
Bald; what she would have done.
I am cherishing the hope that st the
council meeting Mrs. Henrotln may feel
that thu time has come to lay before you
a plan that she has suggested and con-
cerning which we talked much In St.
Louis.
ST. LOUIS COUiRTESIES.
The St. Loula people were most hospl-
ddltlor
table during our stuy. In
quiet little Sunday dinner of
women at Mi's. Moore's, the district board
entertained at lunchooii; the Wednesday
Club gave a night reception; Mrs. Gale,
chairman of the education committee, waa
our lioatcAB at breakfast; the Tuesday
Club honored iib with an afternoon recep-
tion; Mm, irischel arranged a luncheon
of social workers nt the new Young
Women's Christian Association; Or. and
Mrs. Kiachel gave a novcr-to-hc-forgotten
dinner. 1 came away feeling more deeply
Impressed than ever by the ability, the
broad sympathies and the trained work-
Ing power of tho St. IjjuIs women.
GENERAL FEDERATION MAGAZINE.
Mrs. Muore and I had several Important
buHlnesB conferences with officers of the
Federation Magasslne. Numerous letters
are coining from all parts of the country
expressing pleasure In the improvement
of the official organ. We certainly have
cause to feel that Mrs. Waters has made
gigantic strides during the last few
months. She promises to havo the next
Issue out by April 10. Do we not owe It to
Mrs. Waters and to ourselves to see that
many subscriptions aro obtained? I have
during my visits made several tests and
have been distressed to see how few
Individual women take the magazine.
Some may say "My club takes It." But
Is It possible for one magazine to supply
twenty, fifty or a hundred women? Since
the subscription Is only (1 a year, and
since the uiugazlne now contains much
of Interest to the whole family, can we
not show our appreciation by trebling the
subscription list? 1 herewith ask Mrs.
Waters to report to me for publication lu
my letter three months hence the Increase
that has taken place In the subscription
list of each Stato.
MIDWINTER BREAKFAST.
My next stop was Minneapolis, where I
was the guest of the State federation In
a most luxurious suite at the Hotel Leam-
ington. Mrs. l.oyhod, the efficient State
president, met mo at Faribault. When
we reached Minneapolis we wore greeted
by a cordial committee headed by Mrs
V. C. Sherman, the gracious district vice
president. The district board entertained
us at luncheon. As there were only six-
teen women present we decided to turn
tho luncheon Into an experience meeting,
fcaeli officer told her native State, where
she was educated, whether Bho had chil-
dren, and her church and club affilia-
tions. Before the luncheon was over we
felt as if we had known each other for
years, and I gained a better Insight Into
the club work of Minnesota. Muny of the
women hud lived In Minnesota the greater
part of their lives; tho majority were
college-bred and well supplied with chil-
dren. The midwinter meeting of the
State f< deration held a night session,
while next morning the chairman gave
Interesting reports. I was Impressed by
the businesslike way matters were con-
ducted, and only wished there had been
time to ask questions In order that I
might have learned more about various
phases of the work. Mrs. Evans made
an eloquent appeal for the endowment
fund which must surely havo results by
tlie council meeting. At 1 o'clock over
six hundred women breakfasted together.
Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, the president of
the Minneapolis Woman's Club, as toast
mistress, was the embodiment of the best
type ot American womanhood. Both Mrs.
Loyhed and Mrs. Sherman made excellent
addresses It was a pleasure to greet per-
sonally the hundreds of charming women
who, after the breakfast, filled the recep-
tion rooms of the hotel; but I was sorry
to miss the faces of some friends of days
gone by, Miss Evans, Mrs. Washburn,
Mrs. LaPontlerre, Mrs. Welsh and Prof.
Maria Sanford. Mrs. Sherman entertained
a small group at dinner, and we then
regretfully said good-by to Mrs. Loyhed,
but not before meeting a charming young
daughter of whom any mother might well
be proud.
