1t was for the purpose OF acquainting the
women with federation business that Fed
Grafton day was established, but the posi-
bilities of that day seems to be so generally
misunderstood or distorted that it has in
the main become an occasion for visits and
talks from state officers, or reports Of dele
gates Of the state meeting. Desirable and
helpful to all concerned as these visits
from state officers may be, it must be ad-
mitted that, coming early in the year, as
Federation day generally does, most of
these officers are new in their positions and
can really give the Hostess club little help
full information or advice, and 1t is a mis-
take to give the valuable time of that oc-
casion to courtesy when it might be so
much more prohtably devoted to the pre-
sentation Of federation business.

This lack of understanding Of state affairs
has been illustrated during the fall and
winter. The Columbus convention voted
the support of the clubs to four legislative
measures, but it would be safe to estimate
that not to exceed a dozen clubs have had
any subsequent explanation or considera-
ton Of these measures that they are
pledged to support. In consequence a few
have done the work (as usuaD and a ma
jority have done a great deal Of grumbling
and wondered why they are. not taken seri-
ously. The property rights bill and the
library extension work have had a hearing
before the local club, but the juvenile
court bill aud the pure food bill are not
generally understood even now. And this
state Of affairs can hardly be charged to a
lack of time, FOR upon several occasions the
business hour has not been crowded and on
one occasion the hour was given over to an
address by an outsider who drew an audi
ence chiefly of outsiders. And this slack
ness is not limited to state federation az
fairs alone, for even less seems to be
known by the women generally of general
federation business, as was illustrated pre-
vious to the Los Angeles meeting, when not
only surprising ignorance of the coming
issues wac manifested, but even more sur
prising Indifference.

MARY HOLLAND KINKAIOs NEW BOOK
Quaint Love story CharmingIy Told
by n Woman who f. Wen RE-
mbe Locally for
Her Personality.

Mary Holland Kinkaid, a we'll known for
mer resident Of Omaha, is the latest news
paper woman to join the ranks of book
authors. She has restrained herself in one
essential respect, and for her first fight has
not written a story Of the west-not that she
is not familiar with the west, for she knows
1t well, and its people too, but probably
because Of that very knowledge. Her story
is OF love and Of the %futility of men and
women undertaking to lead lives without 1t.
In her book a quaint sect, which may
have its prototype in the Dunkards Of
pennsylvania, with which sect Mrs. Kin
kaid was familiar in her girlhood days.
discourages marriage and practices cell
bacy. Into its midst comes a man from
the outside world, and he straightway falls
in love with the young woman who has
been singled out as the prophecies Of the
community. This very simple plot serves
to incite a very Ingenious working out,
Illustrating the struggles Of the natural
Impulses OF the young woman against all
the precepts and examples OF her educa-
tion, training and environment. In the end
they are banished from the community and
go elsewhere to be welded, while the col
ony casts about for another prophecies less
likely to succumb to the onset of the little
archer. The story is told In quaint. but
charming English, with the pointedness Of
a newspaper writer, yet losing nothing for
It's lack of prolixity. The delicious humor
OF the author crops out all the way and
adds not a little to the p%iquancy Of the
simple story.

In view Of the possibilities Of the year
book, not to speak Of the expenditure Of
effort and money that its issue annually
entails, 1t seems surprising that such a re-
quest should be necessary. One would
rather expect this anxiety to come from
the club women rather than from the pres
ident Of the state federation, and the slack
ness on their part in posting themselves
regarding the affairs of the federation is
scarcely consistent with their pretenses. A
copy Of the year book is sent to the presl-
dent OF every club in the federation apd
there are but few Of the larger clubs that
have not more than one copy. With this
provision there seems little excuse for any
woman, in the smaller clubs at least, not
being familiar with at least the business
matters upon which their representatives
are to vote at the state convention, and to
vote upon these matters intelligently re-
quires something more than hearing them
presented for the first time at the state
meeting.

WOMAN IN CLUB AND CHARITY

The annual letter OF the president Of the
Nebraska Federation OF Women's Clubs,
published In the federation year book, just
out, includes two suggestions that. indie
pendent of the rest Of the letter, are most
timely and they may we'll be accepted by
all clubs. First, Federation day has been
observed by many clubs, but will not each
club still make room on its program for
the open consideration of the contents Of
this book? Canno the book be put into
circulation in alphabetical order? Each
department leader in the larger clubs can
easily reach her members" Second, THE
business Of the federation in all its DEPART
ments would be greatly facilitated by
greater %promptness and more businesslike
methods on the part Of club women"

Career in Colorado.

IN 1891 she gave up newspaper work and
vas married to Mr.. John 7. Kinkaid Of
ouray, Colo, d mining man and attorney.
and brother Of Congressman Kinkaid of
the Sixth Nebraska district. When the
silver crash came to Colorado, Mr.. Kinka
removed with his family to Denver, and
took up the practice Of law. Domestic diff
hculties ended in separation, and Mrs,
Kinkaid resumed newspaper work to sup
port herself and child. She was employed
on the Times of Denver when, in 1897,
Grace Espey Patton was elected to be
state superintendent of public schools for
Colorado, and she chose Mrs. Kinkaid to
be her deputy. In office she gained a still
further insight into the workings of prac-
tical politics. Just before her term ended
she was asked by the management Of the
Chicago Inter Ocean to take charge Of the
woman's department of that paper and to
do editorial work. This place she accepted,
her liking for newspaper work being greater
than her taste for politics. When Lansing
Warren disposed of his interests in the
Inter Ocean and purchased the Milwaukee
Sentinel he asked Mrs. Kinkaid to join his
new stan, where she is now located as
editor Of the woman's department Of the
Sentinel.
Personally Mrs. Kinkaid is one Of
the most charming OF women she Is ear
nest and sympathetic in all her work and
conversation. One Of her chief grievances
in q literary way has long been the fact
that persons with only a superficial knowl-
edge OF the topic have persisted in writing
OF western life. During a conversation with
an Omaha friend out at Denver one day,
while she was in ofice, she said: Some
day l mean to write a western story that
will show the world, or those hat read 1t,
lust what western men and women are
like" II ever she sets about this under
taking-and "Walda" may be only the fore
runner Of it-readers OF books may feel
assured that they will get a story in which
the characters will be sketched from life,
as real western men and women. not carl
catures.

Her Life in Omaha.
Many Omaha people will find special de-
light in the book, "Walda" by name, be-
cause Of the personal acquaintance with
the author, who, as Mary Holland Little,
did her first work as a newspaper reporter
On the old Herald. She Joined the repor-
torial staff of the Herald in the early sum-
mer Of 1889, and was soon busy on general
assignment work. From the beginning she
showed great aptitude and soon developed
one Of the rarest combinations-a reporter
who could feel like a woman, yet write like
a man. Bright and earnest, she took great
interest in her work, and soon attracted
attention outside the local room of the
paper. During the latter part of that sum
mer she attended the Chautauqua assem-
blies at Crete and Beatrice. Here she en-
%countered probably the most unpleasant in
cldent of her whole newspaper experience.
A preacher who had been offended by some
Of the fun she had quietly poked at some
features OF the Chautauqua he was inter
ested in, went out of his way to allude
slightingly to her from his pulpit. After
the matter had been properly presented to
the reverend gentleman. he apologized fully
from his pulpit for his unwarranted at
tack. During the winter Mrs. Kinkaid
(she was still Mary Holland Little) was
busy in every department of newspaper
work, and the next summer, when the great
prohibition campaign was being waged and
Edward Rosewater and John L. Webster
were doing daily debates against Rev. Sam
Small. Samuel Dickey and Prof. Rankin,
Mrs. Kinka had the assignment for the
World Herald, and covered the work in
a most satisfactory manner 1t was a
tremendous physical task, but for weeks
Mrs. Kinkaid travelled from town to town
over Nebraska, sending daily columns of
matter to her paper. keeping fully abreast
with the activities of the campaign and
tincturing the whole with her never-fall-
ing sense of humor.
