The secret hope which has been cher
ished by the program and executive COM
mittees OF the Nebraska Federation OF
Women's Clubs that Mrs. Denison Of New
York, newly elected president of the Gen
erai Federation, would attend the Columbus
meeting in October, has been shattered,
as IL has been learned this week that she
will be unable to come west at that time.
1t was the plan that Mrs. Denison should
come and attend the fall meetings Of the
Nebraska and three other neighboring State
Federations which occur about the same
time, but this will be impossible. as Mrs.
Denison had already accepted an Invitation
that will take her to another section OF the

soprano that has received a most careful
training. She has full confidence in it her
self and she sings with an ease and grace
which, aided by the charms of a comely face
