While the tropical island was fictitious, the floral setting was most real, for on all sides, even the ceiling, one was met by a mass of fragrant and brilliant flowers. From the ceiling hung festoons of wisteria and other blossoms, while roses in profusion, palms, bamboo, and-many spring blooms decorated the nooks and corners of the ballroom. The dance was the first planned by Mrs.

Grace Morrison Poole, president of the general federation of women's clubs, addressed them at their morning meeting in the clubhouse. Mrs. Poole is far from being the formal, business-like person one would suspect a general federation president of being. Instead, she was a small, most informal, charm ing and spontaneous speaker, who delivered her talk as one would speak to a group of intimate friends. Although none of the things mentioned by Mrs.

Poole to the Juniors yesterday seemed momentous on the surface, the message which she unconsciously wove through her de scriptions of interesting custom and tradition noted throughout her European travels was one which the young members of the club will probably remember longer than if the message had been given with dire threat and in stentorian tones by a more imposing speaker. Mrs. Poole spoke of her visit to Poland, where one is reminded each day of that country's preparedness tor war; of historic spots of old Greece and Athens; of the formal tradition which still holds in the House of Commons in England handed down from generations past tnough now useless. But most im portant of all, Mrs. Poole told of that momentous day in the Geneva league session when Germany was admitted to the league council, and or the Inspiring reaction the vote had on the assembly of nations.

One felt, as Mrs. Poole described the scene, that one was there with her, so perfect was her word pic ture. Following her talk Virginia Pettit president of the Juniors, presented the federation president with a bouquet of roses from the Redlands club. Mrs. Poole left Immediately alter ner talk, accompanied by Mrs Shirk and Mrs.

George Bunnell, for Los Angeles, where she addressed their club yesterday afternoon.
