The Federation Meeting.

The Federation Meeting.
An unusually pleasant meeting of the
City Federation was held Friday after
noon in Unity church. This was the
first time since her return from Phil
adelphia that Mrs Thompson has met
with all of the clubs, and an added
pleasure was the presence Of Mrs. w
w. StilsOn Of Los Angeles former ac-
tive club woman of Topeka.
The most interesting features of the
afternoon were the talks on clubs and
club work by these two ladies. Mrs.
Thompson on eastern clubs and Mrs.
Stilson on western clubs From a COM
parison of the two it would seem that
while the eastern clubs are more adj
vanced IN many lines, the western clubs
are ahead in real practical work and
progressiveness.
The musical numbers of the after
noon consisted of a piano number by
Miss Catherine Smith and a vocal solo
by Mrs. w. Won Dahlen. The social
part of the afternoon was in charge of
the Occidental and Vignette clubs, and
they had decorated the church very
prettily for the occasion.
Preceding the programme short
business meeting was held Mrs. Willis
Norton in her report of the work done
by the art committee, stated that near
" three hundred pictures and casts
! have been placed in the schools and 1t
was unanimously decided that the work
should be continued
