Excerpts from the speech of Mrs.
May Belleville Brown, president of the
Kansas Federation of Women's Clubs,
at the meeting of the Second district
federation in Kansas City, Kan, yes
terday:
Let US pay a little more attention
to the philanthrOpic side of our work
Jet US try singing for others"
Some women's clubs know enough
about parliamentary law to quarrel. A
club is dead wood that exists only for
itself. Why not try doing something
for others? Let US give more atten-
ton to philanthropic work.
Mrs. Brown related an incident Of
/ club work out in western Kansas to
show what the women of that part of
the state were doing along the line of
work she was advocating.
And don't you know, those women
put their hearts in the work. and in
stead Of sitting around their homes
talking about Shakespeare and Brown
ing and absorbing good things for
themselves alone, they raised a fund
and, Christmas, bought presents for
all the poor children. so that no lit
tie boy or girl in all the country round
was forgotten by Santa Claus"
Mrs. Brown told another story about
a woman's club that had become dis
cOuraged and wanted a suggestion
about some new line of work
Try singing for others, was the
answer to the query The result was
wonderful. The women went around
singing to the sick and sorrowing ones
in the hospitals and to the children in
the schools and scattering sunshine as
they went along
Mrs. William E Sterne was the
hostess of the Felicity Whist club yes
