The activities of women if they appeared only sporadically in Lake City, Dallas, San Francisco, and a dozen other cities, would not necessarily carry much weight.

They would possess an interest purely local.

But the club women of Lake City, Dallas, San Francisco, do not keep their interests local.

Once a year they travel, hundreds of them, to a chosen city in the State, and there they hold a convention which lasts a week.

And every second year the club women of Minnesota and Texas and California, and every other State in the Union, to say nothing of Alaska, Porto Rico, and the Canal Zone, thousands of them, journey to a chosen center, and there they hold a convention which lasts a week.
