Mrs. May BellevilIe Brown, of Salina,
president of the Kansas federation OF
Women'S clubs came to Topeka yester-
dry to attend the meeting of the board
of managers of the state fair. Mrs.
Brown has been appointed superintend-
ent of the Woman'S department OF the
fair which will be held at Topeka as
partment under Mrs. Browns manage
ment promises to be an uncommonly
good feature this year and club wom-
ans day which is being arranged for
Wednesday of fair week will undoubt-
eddy bring many visitors to Topeka and
is one of the most interesting OF ap-
preaching club events in Kansas. On TINS
occasion q. state presidents council, to
which all the presidents OF the d1sIrlct
and local declarations and the indfV1d-
ual clubs will be invited, will be held,
probably in the senate chamber at the
state house, in the morning and in the
afternoon the delegation Will visit the
fair. A state presidents council is an
innovation in Kansas clubdom and
will no doubt furnish an suspicious be-
ginning for Mrs. Browns official ca
reer as president of the federation, for
although she was elected in May there
is never much doing in club circles dur
ing the summer and her first executive
board meeting will be held in Topeka
on club woman's day during the fair.
Each department of the Woman'S eX-
hibit at the fair will have a superlh-
tendent, assistant superintendent and
Judge, appointed by Mrs. Brown, who
will be announced later. Mrs. Clement
Smith, president of the Topeka fedora
ton, will cooperate with Mrs. Brown
in the work of making the womans de-
partment and club woman,s day at the
fair a marked success. There are 81
club presidents in Topeka alone to at
tend the presidents council and of
course there will be many more from
over the state who will come to town
for that occasion.
