This is part of the reason why I ad-

would like to carry it around to exhibit

for much of my disappointment that
I could not go to Quenenno this year.

There is to be a meeting of the ex-

Hutchinson on Nov. so, when the work
Of the year will be planned.
And right now is a good time to state
that there is evidence of a boom in
club affairs in the Seventh this year.
Mrs Hale writes Il want to inaugur-
ate campaign of organization
throughout the district at once
And organization is what we want,
everywhere. For without growth we
stand still. and soon will follow the
backward tendency.
Our philanthropic schemes must
have a vigorous organization behind

that I know of Mrs. Smiths achieve

ably cost me her friendship. She is
the busiest woman I know, but she
will find time to do good work for US
in the Sixth and not neglect anything
either.
At nv request Mrs. Smith has sent
me a brief report of the Sixth district
meeting, which, since it happened in
November may still be called news.
And If not, it will be of interest to
many people.
The fifth annual session of the Sixth
District Federation of clubs was held
in Phillipsburg, in the Presbyterian
church. on November 1 and 2. The
programme, as published some weeks
ago in the Journal, was in the main
carried out. kansas schools as they
are and a few of their needs was in

1ect with which she seemed to be thor
oughly acquainted. Other papers, The

mans Mission in the Home" by Mrs
Judge Geiger, of Oberlin, were all we'll
written. interesting and helpful The
subject of the travelling art gallery was
thoroughly discussed and we hope
much interest was aroused in that use
full, and educational work of the No-
mans clubs of Kansas.
A very entertaining programme was
given the first evening. Fine music
was furnished by the Phillipsburg or
chestra, and a very unique address of
welcome was made by c. A Lewis, one
of the leading attorneys of northwest
Kansas on behalf of the Commercial
club and citizens of Phillipsburg
which was heartily responded to by
Mrs D. W. Relihan of Smith Center
Mrs. Judge Atkinson read an excellent
paper on some of our master artists,
Angelo. Raphael and Titan. After the
evenings programme was rendered a
most enjOya able reception was rendered
the visiting women by the Phillipsburg
club.
Excellent music, vocal and instru-
mental, was furnished by the persons
whose names were on the programme
as prepared. throughout the session.
The amendment with reference to the
district declarations which has gone the
rounds of the district meetings, was
carried. 1t was voted by the meeting,
at the suggestion Of Mrs. Mcdowell,
that the travelling art gallery be named
the Kate Arlington Travelling Art
Gallery which is but a feeble express
sion of the gratitude we all owe the
little woman who has given so much
time, thought and money to this work.
One of the features which, IN part at
least, took the place Of the state presi-
dent, who could not be present With

and Mrs. Mcdowell. Who fitted in so

Willingness on the part of those who
like music to become members.
1t is proposed that the club become
a member of the National Federation
of Musical clubs The advantages to
be gained by joining the federation
are many, and surely never before
have greater opportunities been offered
to the people of Ottawa for improve
ments along the lines of musical club
study. The federation is made up from
clubs in thirty-one states and Canada
and comprises active, student, asso-
ciate- and honorary members, with de-
partments of study, of instrumental
choral, orchestral and musical liter
airy. The federation was founded by
Mrs. Theodore Thomas wife of the
great orchestra conductor, and Mr..
Thomas was an honorary member at
the time of his death.
A preliminary meeting has already
been held, and it was decided to issue
a general call for a meeting looking to
permanent organization to be held at
Library hall on Wednesday evening,
21st inst, at 1880 O'Clock.

GENERAL Clue NOTEs.

The National Consumers league has
sent out an appeal tC New York City
women to do their Christmas shopping
early in order to lessen the crowding
of the shops during the holiday sea-
son with the consequent hardshiDs to
all employees. Many weeks before the
holidays the factories work overtime
to turn out articles for the Christmas
trade. Factory inspectors and others
in touch with factory conditions have
long been alive to the fact that in these
months there is open violation of the
New York law and women and young
girls are kept working thirteen and
fourteen hours day
Almira S Cordry (Nrs. Tom Cor
dry) is club editor of the Parsons Sun,
of which her husband is editor. Mrs.
Cordry has written the club reporter
of the State Journal that she thinks an
injustice was done her, the Sun, and
Mrs w. ID. Atkinson, the Parsons can
dfdate for president of the State fed
Grafton. by a paragraph printed in this
departing last week about club poll
tics in Kansas. Mrs Cordry says;
Judging by the piece by the woman
in club politics in Saturdays Journal
I believe it will save trouble if I tell
you that I am club editor of the Par
sons Daily Sun, not my husband, SO
don't let the ladies VARY about what
Will be said in future. OF course we
endorse Mrs w d. Atkinson for presi-
don't let the ladies IVORY about what
think an injustice was done Mrs. At
kinson in the article referred to, for
she was not endorsed by the Third Dis
trict federation at Chanute until after
Mrs. Haldeman of Girard had refused
to run, except on conditions"
The club editor of the Parsons sun
seems to have misunderstood the para
graph to which she takes exception,
which referred to 1.-The Parsons SUM-
Tom Cordry editor" and said nothing
about the club editor. But of course
that is neither here nor there and the
State Journal is glad to be enlightened
a to the identity of the club editor of
the Sun who gets up one of the bright
est, newsiest and most readable club
departm ents in a Kansas newspaper.
Mrs. Cordry also misinterpreted the
spirit of the article under discussion if
she thought it was criticism of Mrs
Atkinson. 1t was merely an anony-
nous interview with a prominent Kan

THE TOPEKA CLUB WOMEN.

At the meeting of the executive
board of the city federation with Mrs.
Clement Smith, president, Thursday,
plans we're made for the December
meeting. Mrs. E. w. Poindexter,
chairman of the hall committee, has
not yet announced the place where the
meeting will be held, but it will be
called to order sharply at 2:3O o'clock
Thursday, December 6. The pro-
gramme will include the presidents and
other officers addresses, reports from
committees and the e4SctiOn. There will
probably be two musical numbers. On
motion of Mrs. H. o. Harvey it was
voted to recommend to the federation
that an article be added to the bylaws
of the federation providing that the
names of clubs and Individual mem
board for approval before being
brought before the federation.
The Good Government club has en-
dorsed Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter
for president of the city federation
and this action has given definite and
decided impetus to her boom, which
has been more or less in the clubs for
the past three weeks. Mrs. McCarter
will be a strong candidate and if elect
ed will make an Incompatible presi-
dent. Among the changes which she
is said to want in the federation and
for which she would probably work as
president, is a -organizat ton of the
club work into departments of art lit
erature, music, civics, science, phflan-
thropy, club house, club extension, ETC.,
similar to the departme nts of the state
and general declarations. The fedora
ton now has standing committees IN
fcharge of most Of these things. In
some cases the new departments would
correspond with the present commit
tees but in others a number of COM
m1ttees would probably be merged into
one department. Mrs McCarter would
like to see the departmental work in
creased improved and strengthened
in every way. She would try to make
the club women feel that a place on
any of the departing ntS WAS as high an
honor as one of the offices and she
would hope that the reorganization
would bring out new and capable
workers for the federation's interests.
The departments would probably be
given charge Of the programme meet
ing and would vie with one another in
making their meetings interesting and
popular and getting strong and novel
features for them
Mrs. McCarter has not yet an
nounced her candidacy. but the clubs
have proceeded to draft her and it
looks as If she would be elected in spite
| of her screams.

secretary, and Mrs. J. P. Farnsworth,

unanimous approval OF the federation.

The First district certainly ought to

should be endorsed at the December
