ond vice president of the First District
, federation. Mrs. Garvey is an indi-
viduaI member of the federation. Miss
Martha Beck of Holton. well known in
Topeka, was elected president.
}! Mrs. Henri<.Aa Calvin, teacher of
domestic science at the State Agricul-
tural college at Manhattan, was one
of the speakers at the Leavenworth
meeting and the Topeka club women all
came home with new recipes, demon
strated by her Wednesday afternoon.
This ought to go far toward reconcil
ing the Tyrant Man to the woman's
club. When the women come home
from the club meetings with recipes for
new connections to feed the brutes''
the club movement can't be altogether
bad.
