Here the technical business of the Federation will be transacted with greater accuracy and efficiency than ever before. Here too can be obtained all sorts tion matters. It is believed that every club activities increased rather than of information relating to Federa- woman will want these federation curtailed. In fact, the delegates at Peoria so expressed themselves when they voted to raise a Silver Jubilee Extension Fund of 25,000 dollars to fittingly celebrate the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Federation, a thousand dollars for every year the Federation has be en in existence. Fifty cents from each member will not only finance the work this year, but will also furnish the substantial foundation for the endowment fund so long coveted and planned, and so greatly needed.

One of the most interesting and sucessful programs ever given at the Woman's Catholic club of Wilmette, was that of last Friday afternoon.
