woMAN's RELIEF CORPS.
The Different Organizations Have Been
Somewhat slow In Arriving.

New Aork was the 6rst state 10 get estab-
lished In ". r. C. headquarters. The W. r. c.
department OF the empire state IL cared for at
the Willard. The department officers are q
jolly lot and bent on having good time. Tho
department president, Mrs. Ellen N. Putnam
OF Buffalo, N. Y, is prime favorite. and is
serving her second term in ofice. She 10 ac-
companied by Mrs. Harriet A. Lathrop of Syra-
cuse, senior vice president; Mrs. Harriet A.
Howard OF watertown, N. Y, junior vice presi-
dent; Mrs. Sarah C. Nichols Of New York city,
counsellor, and Mrs. Kate l. GledhilI Of Al
bany, treasurer-all members Of the depart
mens STAG. Mrs. Sarah C. Mink Of wa.ertown,
past department. president Of New York, is also
with the headquarters party.
The delegation from New York entitled to
seats In national convention are Mrs. Annie
Cleary OF Rochester. delegate-at-large; Mrs.
Mary Puffer of Bingham.ou, Mrs. Susan E.
Syrncuse, Mrs. Martha W. Smith Of Pough-
keepsie, Mrs. Josephine Campbell of Troy.
Mrs. Jennie Cage of Cazenovia and Mrs. Emma
S. s. Leech o! New York city.
Mrs. Putnam says that w. n. @. matters in
New York are serene as q summer sea, and the
empire state comes TO the national encampment
with clean hands and a calm heart.
NEW YORK AFTER THE PRESIDENCY.
The calm heart is liable to beat little irreg-
ularly very soon, however, because New York
is on still hunt for the national presidency Of
the W. r. C., and means to get her hand on
that honorable Office and hold 1t during the
next year. The honor is being sought for the
present department president, Mrs. Ellen NJ.
Putnam. New York, strange 70 relate. has
never been honored by that Office. Massachu-
| sets 10 entitled to the name Mother Of Presi-
dentesses," having furnished three since the
order was established in Denver in 1888. and
| the bean-eaters are after the Office again this
year. Kansas is longing FOR It, too, and has q
strong candidate in the person of Mrs. Margaret
Wickens, past department president Of the sun
| flower W. r. c. New York came within two
votes Of getting it when Mrs. Anna witten-
meyer was elected. Mrs. Sarah C. Mink, o
| woman Of splendid executive ability, ran her
very pretty race, but failed by two votes. SO
New York feels a. though she really ought to
have the honor this time.
Who do you think will be elected" was
asked Mrs. Putnam. With q jolly laugh she
automatically replied: Tho woman who gets
the most votes"
