CONFKRKNCESj
The next morning was given over to
Interesting conferences and to hearing
pleasant news about the preparations for
the biennial. The club world may feel
safe that as far as local arrangements
are concerned the Chicago biennial will
be second to none. Every woman In office
or out of office seemed to have only one
object In view, to make the biennial a
genuine success. Mrs. Bass, who is to be
the president of the local biennial board,
will present her first report at the council
meeting in Washington.
letters answered.
I enjoyed a luxury Tuesday morning in
having the services of an expert sten-
ographer. When I am away on these long
trips I find It is absolutely necessary to
set aaide several mornings each week to
answer the letters that never cease.
Almost without exception, my stenog-
raphers are attractive young women, who
take a genuine interest in the work. One
of the greatest tributes 1 have heard paid
the federation came from a Chicago girl
who said: "l cannot accept a penny be-
cause I feel that it has boon a privilege to
serve an organization that is doing so
much for women."
NORTH SIDE CLUB.
Airs. Marquis hospitably entertained
Tuesday afternoon the board of her North
Sldo Woman's Club, which, under the
able presidency of Mrs. Farrlngton, has
a most successful girls' auxiliary. I sug-
gest that any of you who are planning a
similar department consult with this club
as to ways and means. Tuesday night
Mr. and Mrs. Marquis entertained at
dinner a group of men and women who
touched life at various points. I learned
there of a beautiful new clubhouse that
has been made possible to the Evanston
Club through the goneroslty of Mr. Pat-
ton and the energy of the club women.
The president of the Hamilton Club, than
which there is no more successful men's
club «n the United States, talked enter-
talnglngly of their methods of conducting
club affairs. 1 could but contrast the
financial support men give their clubs to
©ur attitude.
THE CHICAGO WOMAN'S CLUB.
Wednesday brought another conference,
several photographers, and a luncheon at
the Woman's Club with Mrs. John 1).
Hhenuan as hostess. There are thousands
of women over the country who will be
rejoiced to know that Mrs. Sherman has
tfcovered from the Illness that caused her
iioiithi of suffering, and that at the close
of this year she will he fitted agaU) to
assume active work. At ihe monthly nusl-
nuss meeting of the Chicago Woman's
Club, Mrs. Uass presided with force and
dignity. Other vital conferences followed
the next day. I am sorry that matters
Ire not yet so shaped that I am at liberty
to give out results.
lna CLEVELAND CITY FEDERATION.
Regretfully bidding adieu to Mr. and
Mrs. Maniuls and to my other hosts, dear
triends from Texas, Judge and Mrs. Dll-
ird, 1 hurried on to Cleveland where, on
I met at a luncheon -00 mem-
of" the City federation of Women's
Clubs. After some exquisite music, Mrs.
Hucltlns, the gracious president of the
fltat* Federation; Mrs. Kchott, Mrs. Fred-
trick and Mrs. Harris spoke, and Mrs.
belovcr then gave me the pleasure of
meeting personally the women. That
night a •lluner of twenty men and women,
irnong whom were Mayor and Mrs. Baker,
inabled ma to get a glimpse of the munl-
tlpal life. I find better comprehension
of civic questions comes when men and
*cmeu counsel together. Wo had a stir-
ring discussion as to the pros and cons
of making the school the social center.
Seme think II would be a good Idea If we
could establish a forum open to both
feies to discuss civic affairs that are to
be considered later In our clubs. Mrs
Bcnrv H. Long was the kindest of friends
looked after my every comfort.

WASHINGTON
Monday found me m Washington, the
|u«at of Mr. and Mrs William E. An
diewi. Two days were given to seeing
the suffrage and Inaugural parades, but
•t night the program committee of the
council began work. We were Joined
later by Mrs. Mlajikenburg, who never
falls generously to give her time and
interest In this number of the magazine
cur Incomparable chairman. Mrs. Hellly,
reports council news, hence I shall not
trespass upon her ground. You will
readily agree with me that Mr. and Mrs
Andrews were the most thoughtful of
hosls when I tell you that they even
tnade It possible for me to dictate thirty-
five letters while waiting for the In-
augural parade. Mrs. Andrews gave a
delightful reception at which we had
rot only the Washington women, hut
many friends from all sections of the
country. On Thursday the District of
Columbia Federation ontertalncd at
luncheon. There was an Imposing array
of charming women to whom Mrs. Kills
JjOgajl, Mrs. Andrews, Mrs. Klankrnhiirg,
Mrs. Reilly, Mrs. Storey, and MrB, Hor
ton. made happy speeches. Mrs. Mary
Lockwood, whom all the federation hon
ore, presided as toastmlstreHs. The one
regret about the slay In Washington was
that there was not enough time to do
the work we had planned. One does not
wonder that Mrs. Andrews Is beloved by
ee district, when one sees how unself-
hly she gives herself to the work.
CHESTER, PA
Mrs. Blankenburg and I then hurried
an Thursday to Chester, Pa., where on
Friday several of us spoke before tho
Chester New ''ontury Club and guests In
Uted from other parts of tho State. The
president, Mrs. Randle, entertained at
an exquisite luncheon. We found the
women responsive and delightful. I can

SCHOOL (URLS.
Late Saturday afternoon I reached
Bryn Mawr, l'a., arid found my daugh-
ter, llntli, rosy and expectant awaiting
me. During one of the days spent with
her, 1 had as luncheon guests the eleven
Texas girls who are In tho preparatory
school and ltuth's roommates. As I
looked at tho thirteen bright faces, am.
listened lo their merry chatter, I felt
here was a nucleus for an Ideal club.
MRS. CATT.
Sunday I had tlio good fortune to hear
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt in a wonder-
ful address before an audience that filled
every seat In the Clarrlck Theater, and to
dine wilh Mrs. Catt at Mayor and Mrs.
Blankenburg's.
ANOTHER COURTESY.
It was Impossible to secure a stenog-
rapher In Bryn Mawr, so Mr. llarriman,
of the Ladles' Home Journal, asked Mr.
Boa's privat.0 secretary to come to my
rescue. She kindly consented, and did
the work so beautifully that It was a
Joy simply to read over the letters.
GRAND RAPIDS.
My last visit -was to Grand Rapids,
where I was a guest In tho beautiful
home of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. McKnlght
As president of the Ladles' Reading Club,
Mrs. MoKnight has brought to Grand
Rapids an array of talent that fairly
dazzles one. She has had ex-President
Roosovelt, ex-President Tail, President
Wilson, fifteen governors, four United
States Senators, and many of our best
women speakers. The club Is 111 a most
flourishing condition, owns valuable prop-
erty, and is made up of a charming set
of women. They keep 111 touch with ev-
ery phase of general federation work.
THE COUNCIL.
Unless all Bigns fail we shall have a
good %l tendance at tho Washington
Council meeting. May I ask every wom-
an who comes to feel that she has a
spoclal duty to perform? It Is only the
small minority who can sparo tho time
and the money to attend either council
or biennial. The woman who represents
her club should feel In honor bound to
take back so vivid a picture of what is
being done that those at home may un-
derstand the spirit and the magnitude of
our work. For a luwg time I could not
see why so many clubs were apathetic
about attending the General Federation.
I have partly solved the mystery. Some
delegates liava no conception of their du-
ties.
DUTIES OF DELEGATES.
A delegate should feel that hor tlmo
belongs strictly to the convention; when
a club sends more than one delegate, the
work should be divided so as to make It
less burdensome. The club does not care
as much for newspaper Veports as It does
for Individual Impressions. If a young
delegate should read this letter, let me
give a little advice. When you come from
a session Jot down notes enough to fix
your Ideas; as soon as you get home
from a convention, while enthusiasm li
still at Its height, read over all your
clippings, re-read your notes and write
your report After this carry the sub-
ject about with you In your dally Ufa;
as I have said before, brood over It;
let It become a part of your mental sub-
consciousness. You will be surprised to
see how much additional light and how
many stirring thoughts you will have on
various topics. After this period of
brooding Is past, re-wrlte and momorize
your report; make It so thoroughly your
own that when you deliver It you can
look straight Into the eyes of your audi-
ence and drive your truth home. You
will be more than repaid because there
will come from your hearers a wave of
sympathy and Inspiration that will be a
revelation. Better still, you will find
that many women who before cared noth-
ing for the State and General Federation
meetings will resolve to make even a
sacrifice to go In person to the next
council or biennial.
MISS JULIA LATHROP.
For some time rumors have born com-
ing In that the position of Miss Julia
Lalhrop, as chief of the children's bu-
reau, was endangered Feeling that wo
must make sure bofore we took any steps,
I Investigated the matter thoroughly and
finally found there seemed imminent
peril At Grand Rapids, through tho
courtesy of my Ideal host, Mr. Mc.Knlght,
and his efficient secretary, I sent out
lotters to all State presldcnrs, to the
bnerd, and to the chairman of the press
committee, explaining tha situation, and
asking that, each officer not inly wflta
President Wilson and the Secretary (If
Labor, tut also call Into action every In-
dividual club In the membership of the
various Stale organizations. I hope sin-
cerely that long ere tills reaches you wo
shall have the satisfaction of knowing
that Miss liathrop has been asked to con
tlnue In service. We feel that the loss
of a woman so thoroughly fitted for the
position would be a calamity.
HOME AGAIN.
From Grand Rapids I gladly turned my
face homeward. It was delightful to
watch the spring coming slowly forth as
I Journeyed South. On reaching Austin
I found the roses In bloom, the grass
green, the fruit trees a blaie of color,
and even the forest trees almost In the
leafy stage. As I stepped from the train
and found my two sons awaiting me, I
felt that the best part of every trip Is
the getting home again.
On this Saturday before Easter, aj I
think of you presiding over hompa that
represent every phase of American life,
bearing your tremendous, responsibilities
bravely and JoyouBly, I wish for each
and all of you, dear comrades, a glad
Eastern morn. Always eordlnlly yours,

not bring perfection, but they advance one toward
VXT I: DAN only mark our progress by comparison with the past. An ex-
Queen of the Carnival, who has not witnessed a coronation since
the early days, said: "I am perfectly astounded; they had no such splen-
dor when I was queen."
In those days wc were leading the simple life, but we didn't know It.
A white organdie gown with laces and ribbons was considered quite the
proper thing for the queen, and people said, "How sweet and girlish she
looks." The king and queen sat together on a dais and he placed the
crown upon her head. After the formal ceremonies were over the royal
couple left Ihe stage and led the grand march, which opened the queen's
ball.
At that time the spectators could be accommodated on the raised seats
encircling the hall and in the gallery. Today, notwithstand the high price
of tickets, hundreds are turned away. It sounds well to sing the praises
of sweet simplicity, but It is the brilliant spectacular affairs that draw the
crowds.
Lola Kokernot (Mrs. P. J. McNeil) was the first queen to set up a
court and wear -royal robes. She was attended by maids, many of them
coming from neighboring towns. It was, however, not until after the organi-
zation of tUe Order of the Alamo that the queen's court blazed forth with
the splendor which it still maintains. Miss Eda Kampmann (Mrs. Joseph
Frost)- was the first queen chosen by this order. Each year the out-of-
town duchesses increase in number and some new and attractive feature is
added. The open air fete in Glen Marie, Inaugurated by Mrs. T. A. Cole
man, we predict will prove so popular that it will be in the future a feature
of the Carnival week. ,
The beauty and the dignity of the duchesses from the small towns was
noted by many. Their elegant gowns, as smart as though they were just
from Paris, was an evidence that these young Texas girls appreciated the
compliment San Antonio paid them and were fully equal to the occasion.
There are some whq say, with a touch of sarcasm, "We love to mimic
royalty." What mimicry is (here about our royal court? Are not our young
women all queens and our young men all kings, heirs to Texas' unbounded
wealth and opportunities? No queen of the Old World has more beauti-
ful ladies in waiting nor more gallant knights than the Queen of San An-
tonia's Fiesta.
HOVE Is a picture of "Blink Bonnie," the handsome new summer home built by ,T. M. Albirdyre of Ssn Antonio on tbe
shores of Aransas Bay, two miles north of Rockport and adjoining the magnificent grounds and home of th# Otikshors
Outing Club. The building Is of white cement Bedford rock, which gives it the appearance of being constructed wholly of
marble- A boulevard l(M) feet wide separates the house from ihe waters of the bay The front gallery is fifty feet long and twsl'»
feet deep, with a cement floor. There Is a living-room L'lxIlO feel with an old-fashioned fireplace six feet eight inches wids in

South. The room is finished In green with Ivory whits wood trimmings and heavy beams of pure while. There are six bed-
rnuins, kitchen, and a bath on the rear gallery. It Is an Ideal summer home In one of tho most beautiful spots to be fouan
along the entire Gulf Coast, and Mr. Allsrdyce and his family will take possession of it June 1 and remain for the summer. Mr-
Allardyce has been at the Oukshore Club many weeks superintending the construction of his new summer home and !» en-

has lieeu at the Menger Hotel for tlie winter. Her departure has been hastened on
account of the Illness of her brother-in-law, Colonel Livurmore of Boston.
The Menger Hotel, by the way, Is becoming oulle famous on account of the spring
flower effects that have been the feature of ail tlie decorations for social affairs given
there of late. They were especially beautiful when Mrs. Branch entertained with ii
five o'clock tea. The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Rraach are delighted to hear

In her honor Wednesday afternoon at the Nueces Hotel. She also expects to have witn

TlIKItE are many people who say. that San Antonio has no art atmosphere, yet
there Is good work being doue all the time by our local artists—work that would
take high rank In any exhibition. The past week Ihere has been a bronze bnst dis-

MRS. CHALMERS' Letter Sparkles With
Doings of Those Socially Inclined Whose
Husbands Are Stationed in Washington—Many
Brilliant Affairs and Countless Teas Follow
Meeting of Daughters of American Revolution
W
(By Mrs. Leigh Chalmers.)
ASHINGTON, D. C„ April 26.-
Many interesting and notable
events have ocourred during the daya
Just passed, and the Texas contingent
has been greatly augmented by a num-
ber of brilliant and handsome visitors
from the Lone Star State. The making
of the early history of the State and
her early heroes were not forgotten, and
San Jacinto Day was fittingly observed.
Tlio congressional delegation presented
to Postmaster General Albert Sidney
Burleson a handsome silver loving cup,
Senator Morris Sheppard making the pre-
sentation speech, in his remarks the
Senator referred to the gillant service
that Mr Burleson and his ancestors had
rendered the Lone Star State and the Na-
tion generally. At San Jacinto battle
field Mr. Burleson's gieat grandfather
was at the head of the Texas army with
Gen. Sam Houston, and he was the di-
recting general In the battle which Is
celebrated by all Texans on April 21 eaoh
year.
In the evening the Texas Society of
Washington commemorated the historic
dav, meeting In Confederate Memorial
Hall, which was filled to Its capacity
with a loyal and enthusiastic audience.
After patriotic speeches and music, re-
freshments were served-and a dance
followed. A very Interesting feature of
the evening was a brilliant address ap-
propriate to the occasion by one of Texas'
newly honored sons, Congressman Rey-
burn. Mr. Reyburn paid a splendid trib-
ute also to Senator Slieppard, Senator
Culberson, ex-Senator Bailey, Postmaster
General Burleson and Secretary of Agri-
culture Houston, whom we as Texans are
wont to claim as our very own.
Mrs. Burleson, wife of the Postmaster
General, represented her home chapter
of Austin-Thankful Hubbard—In the
Congress of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution. The opening day, April
14, Mrs. Burleson occupied a box with
Mrs. Wilson, wife of the President, and
other Cabinet ladies. I-ater Mrs. Burle-
son, notwithstanding her being In con-
stant demand for social functions, was
most of the time with the delegation
from her State, casting her vote on all
matters of Importance and Interest to
her State.
When the subject of marking the graves
of the soldiers of the Revolution w'as
being discussed Mrs. Burleson said 110
matter how devoted a soldier might have
been to wife, daughter, mother or sweet-
heart, she felt he would not have wanted
his grave marked by a spinning wheel,
the Insignia of the society. This was
said when trying to select a National
marker for the graves of soldiers of the
Revolution.
Mrs. Burleson gave a very large recep-
tion to the Daughters of the American
Revolution, when Miss Margaret Wilson,
daughter of the President, and Mrs. Wil-
son, Mrs. Bryan, wife of the Secretary
of State. Mrs. Garrison, wife of the Sec-
retary of War, Mrs. Daniels, wife of ths
Secretary of the Navy, and Mrs. Mathew
T. Scott, the retiring president general
of the Daughters of the Revolution,
were in the receiving line with Mr».
Burleson.
Mrs. Morris Sheppard, wife of Senator
Sheppard, also gave a delightful after-
noon reecptlon. which was pleasantly
restricted to Texans In Washington, resi-
dent and visiting. Mrs Sheppard la a
beautiful woman of 22, with an ease of
manner entirely unspoiled by her high
position, thoroughly democratic, yet quit*
dignified. She was becomingly gowned
In amber-colored charmeusc, which toned
with her fair hair. Mrs. tichleuter, sister
of Mrs. Culberson, Mrs. Frank Uockhart,
whoBa husband Is secretary to Senator
Sheppard, and Mrs. William R. Smith,
wife nf Congressman Smith, assisted Mm
Sheppard in receiving. Among the callora
were Mrs. Culberson, wife of Senator
Culberson. Mrs. Jack Beall, Mrs. R. L.
Henry, Mrs. Garrett, Mrs. Vaughn, Mrs.

I HE caption of this advertisement is being eagerly looked for by the people of
San Antonio. "Monday at Hertzberg's" means something good. Salt is salt,
but there are different ways of serving it. Judging by the great number
of people who came into our store last Monday, we feel confident that on most of
the dining tables of this city they are serving salt in individual cellars. It was a
great day for Individual Salts.
But This Monday It Is
Something Different

There isn't a woman—be she young or old—a miss or married—who wouldn't
appreciate having a bracelet. They are all the go now—all the smart folks have
them and they are very charming adornments. We have some beauties and we
are going to make a special sale on them for this Monday. They are solid gold—
'Roman gold, old English gold, plain and engraved. You will surely want one.
They make ideal presents from friends and relatives and are very appropriate for
all occasions. You will want to buy one when you see them, so look in our Hous-
