Serene fold my hands and wait
Nor care for wind, nor tide nor sea;
I wait no more on Time or Fate
For, lol my own shall come to me-"
Mrs. James NJ. Lewis, Jr., Kinsiey,
president of the Kansas State Fedora
tion of Women's clubs in the fedora
ton book of quotations.. Lines from
John Burroughs Waiting.
Although few of the clubs are meeting
now, most of them will begin the work
of new year next month AID by Octo-
Der 1st their normal activity will be re-
sumed with the additional strenuous
ness that always follows the summer
lethargy. Aside from the regular fan
meeting of the city federation, october
6, there is no event of much int vest Of
Importance in the near future IN local
clubdom. The progress for the october
meeting has not yet been arranged but
will be announced within fortnight.
Plans for making the first meeting of
the year one of unusual interest are I'M
derway. Mrs. Horton, president of the
city federation commences a second ad-
miniStration'S work under uncommon
~ suspicious circumstances. Never be-
fore was there less friction Nmong the
club members and no past president has
ever been held in more general esteem
than the present one who seems TO have
a genius for diplomacy. Just what new
work the federation will undertake ana
carry through this year is not yet
known although several prominent club
women have pet projects which they
will probably introduce at the october
meeting. Among other things 1t is
known that the club house question will
be raised again and this year may be
more favorable to such an undertaking
than last when nothing more came of
an earnest effort and no little enthus-
iasm in this direction.
The State Journals club department
will run a weekly calendar of club
meetings this year and will appreciate
the favor. if club reporters or secretar-
les will send or telephone announce
ments of meetings regularly as early as
Friday noon.
From the sales of the Book of Quota
lions lately published by the executive
board of the Kansas Federation of Wo-
mans clubs, $500 will be realized, ana
this sum has been invested in photo
graphic reproductions of the worlds
greatest paintings. These pictures
range in size from 30 by AZ inches to 8X
10,-most of them being 16x2o inches.
This large collection embraces the work
of the great Italian masters, and anoth-
er section that of Dutch, Flemish and
German masters. The travelling art
gallery is for the use of any fedora
ted club in the state; the only require
ments being q guarantee of freight
charges, and that the club receiving
it shall hold public art exhibition,
charging a small admission fee. OF the
net proceeds the club retains three
fourths. the other one-fourth going into
the art fund for the purchase of new
pictures.
1t is likely that clubs will find this a
most convenient way of raising money
for Sthe thousand and one good things
that a good active club desires to do.
Eighteen clubs have already sent in
their application for the use of the
travelling art gallery. Thirty-six clubs
is about the full number desired for the
circuit the first year.
If your club is interested in securing
this collection write to Mrs. Kate A.
Arlington of Council Grove. Kan, for
the art catalogue which will be issued
soon and which will contain full infor
nation.
Those who would like one of the few
remaining books of quotations may OBJ
