grateful for the good already received
Then we shall avail ourselves of the
blessings we have, and thus be fitted

The week past has been an espe-
ctally busy one in local clubdom- The
meeting of the Woman Kansas Day
club at the state house Monday under
the auspices of the Good Government
club was attended by a representative
audience of club women. and also at
tracted a number of other women not
identified with club work but whose
patriotism as loyal daughters of Kan
Eas gives them an interest in the new
organization. These and other clrcum-
stances, the excellent programme, the
large number of pioneer women, and
the agreeable hospitality of Mr. George
w. Martin, secretary OF the State His

rooms at the disposal of the Good Gov

of an average audience at Unity church
Thursday-the coolest and most dis
agreeable day of the winter-can not
be construed otherwise than as a
compliment to Mrs Horton and the
programme committee, which has
made the federation meetings of this
year notably good, and to the two
speakers, Governor E. w. Hoch and
Mrs James Lewis, of kinsley, presi-
dent of the state federation. The
members of the federation are espe-
cially appreciative of Governor Hoch's
courtesy and condescension in giving
them an afternoon just now when he
is so busy with the strenuous activities
of the beginning of his administration
and the opening weeks of the legisla-
tive session.
The presence of many women of the
political set, visiting wives of mem
bers of the legislature, and of the
state officers who live out of town,
added to the interest of the federation
meeting. Mrs. J. W. Going played a
piano number, Mazurka de Salon, by
TSchaikowsky, and this completed the
programme, which was very short to
allow time for the reception which fol-
lowed at the Copeland in honor of
Mrs. -Hoch, Mrs Lewis. and the past
presidents of the state federation.
Three of these, Mrs. Noble Prentis,
Mrs. J. c. McClintock. and Mrs. w A.
Johnston, stood in line with Mrs Hor-
ton, Mrs. Lewis, and Mrs. 3. K Hud-
son. The federation is indebted to
the Topeka street railway company for
the use of one of their large cars.
