The truth is the supreme court holds
nothing of the sort, and that the price
OF calico will not be affected by so
much as a fraction Of a cent. The
decision relates exclusively to fancy

GENERAL CLUB NOTES.

A committee constituted of repre-
sentatives from the various women's
clubs of Kansas City, Kan, called
upon Mrs. D. S. Stephens, president of
the Second district of the State Fed
Grafton of Women's clubs, for the pur-
pose of requesting her to become a
candidate for the position of president
of the State Federation of Clubs at the
election to be held at the meeting of
the Federation in May next. Mrs. Ste
phens, in response to the request of
the committee, said that a similar sug-
gestion had been made to her on sew
eral occasions during the past year, but
that she had not felt free up to the
present time to give her consent to the
use of her name in this connection.
In view of the fact, however, that there
seems at the present time to be such a
general unanimity among local club
women in the desire that she should
allow her name to be used as a candi-
date for this high honor. and also of
the fact that the Second district in the
judgment of many persons is entitled
to the distinction of proposing q candi-
date for this position-this district
never having had the honor of furn-
ishing a president for the state or
ganization-she had reached the con-
clusion that it would be right and ex-
pedient to withdraw any personal scru-
pies she might entertain toward as
