sumers' league, was several years at
the Hull House settlement in Chicago
and who is devoting her life to the
cause of the industrial classes, will be
in Topeka for the June meeting of the
city federation. This announcement
was made by Mrs. H. O. Garvey who
met Mrs. Kelly at the biennial in Los
Angeles and secured her promise to visit
Topeka, at the business meeting of the
city federation at Unity church Friday
morning. Other matters occupied the
federation almost to the exclusion of the
biennial topic. but Mrs. Carney touched
upon it lightly before adjournment. She
spoke of the prominence of Kansas and
especially Topeka at the biennial, and
said that only one city in the United
States has larger federation of WOnl-
ems clubs than Topeka. This is Atlanta,
Georgia, which has 1000 members in
the city federation. Five minute reports
from the local delegates to the national
convention and reports of the state fed
Grafton meeting at Salina Will be fea-
lures of the June meeting of the Topeka
federation. Mrs Mary Vance Hum
phrey, of Junction City, one of the new
members of the board of directors of the
general federation is expected here also
for the June meeting.
Topeka will not ask for the next meet
ing of the state federation as several
towns have gotten in their invitations
already and as the First district had the
meeting last year at LeavenwOrth. The
Topeka delegation probably will ask
the convention to consider this town as
a meeting place in two years
