Blocki, president of the Tenth District, with a basket of spr;ng flowers. Mrs. Blocki gave response in her usual warm gracicus rr.anner. The morning was then given over to businls ·. The reports of the department chairmen were exceedingly fine and revealed an enthusiasm most stimulating. Ten minute talks were given by Mrs. Walter W. Seymour, first vice-president, I. F . W. C., by Mrs. Charles Woodman, chairman of Transportation, I. F. W. C. and by Mrs. Theron Colton, chairman of Conservation, I. F. W. C. Each had a vital message. Mrs. Seymour urged the high ideal of service, Mrs. Woodman fired her audience with the desire to join the delegation in May and follow on to the Golden Gate. Mrs. Colton offered the companionship of hundreds of birds and wild flowers along the north shore to those who stay at home. · The Ravenswood Club introduced a set of Tcsolutions which were adopted by the district. The resolutions form an outcry against the flagrant featuring of crime in all our papers. A set of these resolutions is to be sent to each city and local publication. A magazine called "Scandal" is to be notified. The morning session closed with the singing of the Tenth District song by the Ravenswood Double quartette. T~ Ravenswood Double quartette opened the afternoon program with song. The speaker of the afternoon was J udgc Henry Grasse, Circuit court, Green Bay, Wisconsin. Judge Grasse is national vice-president of the Izaak Walton league and a very able orator. Hi s original theme "Conservation" had been swept away by the desire to talk of "Mothers." He paid tribute to the "mothers of men." He appealed to motherhood to carry the power that rules the home into national life. He holds that the world needs the cleansing, purging force of woman. A Conservation Pageant, composed by Florence Crocker Comfort was presented through the courtesy of the Rogers Park \Voman's club. Children, with the rare grace of youth, took the parts of flowers, bees, and butterflies. The play was a plea against the destruction of wild flowers . Mrs. Blocki is a crusader of this cause. She is the vicepresident of the Wild Flower Preservation society. Mrs. John S. Maurer, president of the Second District and Mrs. Florence Crocker Comfort were among the guests of the day. The meeting adjourned at four o'clock with the happy feeling that lingers after a family reunion. T ilmette 654 ette HE Woman's club program for the coming week, includes three morning meetings.
