The features of Kansas Day are an
Old story to the world, yet they deserve
mention again as q part of the week
work in Official clubdom, since they
served as a very delightful prelude TO
the serious and engrossing work con-
neoted with the board meeting at Law
renee.
The first meeting Of the executive
board was scheduled for Tuesday after
noon a { Lawrence, but as the president
was compelled to stay behind IN topeka
In search of a recalcitrant baggage man,
the hours were put in very pleasantly
by drive over Lawrence, and a Visit OF
inspection to the buildings secured for
the meetings of the federation in the
spring.
The disadvantages Of club work are
swallowed out of sight by the advan-
tages, and notable in the latter class
was the chance to attend the Kansas
day reception of the Ladies Literary
League, one of the oldest and finest
clubs in the state.
This reception was held at TIP nome
Of DR.. and Mrs. Wright and aside from
the social enjoyment of the evening, the
programme was a renarka bic one IN
point of excellence. Whether the
cameo-Hke frontier sketch of Mrs.
Literature by Mrs. Powell and by MIS-.
Foster on the Educational Institutions
of Kansas. or the defense and
eulogy of the Kansas tree and flow
er (the cottonwood and sunfiower( by
Mrs. Maffet, was the best. none OF the
visitors could say; but all agreed that,
taken together they formed an ideal
programme for Kansas day.
Another of the advantages" was
most dRITChTfTTI dinner naTTV on w ed
nesday evening. at which the treasurer,
Mrs II. b Asher assisted by her sons
and daughter, entertained the other off
GERS and a. few friends at her home.
The next meeting of the K. F. w. C.

club women are anticipating with

In the First Presbyterian church,
While the reception viii take place in
the Fraternal Aid hall. Among the in
teresting features of the meeting viii
be a visit to Haskell institute on
Thursday afternoon and another visit
to the Kansas university on Friday
morning. Because our university is
at Lawrence, and all Kansas is inter-
ested in it, many club women. who
might not otherwise feel that they
could spare the time will wish to come
as delegates to this meeting. Chan
cellOr Strong and the faculty of the
university are giving their hearty CO
operation in this work, and. whether
in the city or ION the HILL a cordial
welcome is assured the visitors
The executive board met with the
committees from the Lawrence city
federation on Wednesday afternoon,
and all plans seem to be on the way to
perfection. It was an enthusiastic
and practical meeting, at which each
woman spoke her most sincere
thought. with the good OF the coming
meeting at heart.
The programme for the coming
meeting was outlined by the board.
and left for the president to fill out.
as the final reports from the standing
committees come in. It promises to be
one of great interest, with a number
of very pleasant features, and it also
promises-Qet US pray for the fulfill
ment of the promise) that it win not
be too long. In this the board asks
the cooperation of chairmen and
those who are to appear upon the
programmes. The only general excep-
ton taken to the federation pro-
gramm es-and it is almost d chorus
is that our meetings are too crowded.
AS my predecessors have done. I
shall state the time to which each
number Is limited, and ask that it be
regarded. If nOt-weu, the executive
board must think of some way to
make the punishment fit the crime. -
Mrs. Monroe is issuing a circular to
clubs this week. A copy viii be
found in this department. We ask
the cooperation of Kansas clubs in
our work to stand I'd for Kansas at
the biennial in st. Paul. If you have
member who wants to take the
trip, federate. and send her as a dele
gate. The official route win be an
