SHE RESIGNS AS PRESIDENT

Mrs. Peattie Anticipates Her Approaching Departure From the City.

Relinquishes Her Position in the Woman's Club to Take Up Other Cares in Chicago.

Club Will Think a While About Building Before Taking Another Step In That Direction - Yesterday's Meeting.

The Woman's club may or may not have a club house of its own. It wants to think. It is going to think for at least a fortnight. Mrs. Frances Ford, chairman of the committee appointed to investigate the matter returned a report showing a great amount of thorough work. The club listened with intense interest, but concluded to defer the discussion of the matter.
"The club," said one woman . "is going home to talk the matter over with its husbands."
The president placed her resignation before the club, to take effect on the 19th of this month. At that time a new president will be elected, and candidates are already being talked of. The president's brief address was one of greeting and farewell.
Many matters of interest came up during the meeting, which was unavoidably devoted to business from first to last. A committee has been empowered to purchase a piano on which even the most fastidious musician will not hesitate to perform Mrs. Lindsey reported for this committee, and with Mrs. Wilhelm and Miss Cunningham, the new leader of the musical department, will make the selection.
A certificate of deposit given by the German Savings bank to the federation library was taken up by the club at its face value, thus making it possible for the library committee to continue its work without interruption.
