of Horton, president of the First Dis
the club women of the value of feder-
alton.
Although strong local organizations,
the Atchfson clubs, have never unit
ed with the state federation; if they
decide to enter it will enlarge their in
fluence and power, and bring the 9TH
er women of the state into touch with
one of the fairest cities and some of
the finest women of Kansas.
The Wichita Musical club will at
tend the meeting of the State Fedora
tion in Hutchinson in May and will
participate in the program. Together
with Hutchinson and Newton choruses
they will form a grand chorus direct
ed by Mrs. CASTOR Boyd of Newton.
the chairman of the department of
music for the K. F. W. c.
Cora G. Lewis of Kinsley, past
president of the K. F. w. C. and later
visiting member of the state board
of control, is making a lecture and
social trip to the eastern portion of
the state and to Kansas City Mo. Mrs.
Lewis is one of the ablest and strong
est speakers and writer's in Kansas
and an earnest student of sociologi-
cal conditions. Her lecture in Kansas
City Friday evening was number of
the University Extension course, the
subject, "The Care of Dependents by
the State" She will speak before the
Saturday Afternoon club of Leaven-
worth, and lecture at the State Univer-
be the fourth time Mrs. Lewis has lee
tured at the university. Miss Lorraine
Lewis is accompanying her mother on
her lecture tour.
That Kansas club women are appre-
ciated beyond the borders of their
own state, is made evident not only
by Mrs. Lewis engagement, but Mrs.
c. B. Hoffman of Enterprise, MEM
Der of the health committee of the
G. F. w. G.. from Kansas, recently
odd ma snf Afhnn-
cum of Kansas City, Mo. Mrs. Hoff-
mans discourse was along ethical
lines, but upon request she gave
report of the International Tuberculo-
sis Congress held in Washington last
fall and to which she was delegate
from her state.
Mrs. Ellen NJ. Hemdin of Chicago.
past president of the G. F.
w. c., and chairman of committee on
women's organizations, writes the
state federation of Kansas to send
delegate to the National Peace Con-
gress to be held in Chicago May 3-5,
1909.
Mrs Hemdin writes: more and
more throughout the civilized world
the peace movement is making its
way, and the utter dependence Of the
nations is being constantly emphasized
by the extension of industry and COM
destroyer of the home. so it behooves
women, the home makers, to do all in
their power to further the cause of ar
bftration and fraternity among ma
tions" The state federation should
have a representative at this impor-
tant congress.
The refusal of Mrs. Roland P.
Murdock of Wichita to become a can
didate from her district, for the pres
fdency of the state federation will dis
appoint not only her district but many
of her admirers and friends through
out the state; but what the club work
loses the business and artistic world
will gain, for as many of her friends
know, Mrs Murdoch has been giving
her natural tastes and time to the
study of interior decorations and ar
tfstic furnishings, taking advantage of
her eastern trips and acquaintance
with some of the best known decora-
tors of the United States to cultivate
her aesthetic taste. She has given at
of her study and in May at Hutchinson
we may anticipate a valuable address
from her under the department of
art.
Whatever Mrs. Murdoch essays, and
wherever her profession leads her, she
will have the gratitude and good will
of the Kansas club women.
Mrs I. n. Singer of Wichita, presi-
dent of the Sth District Federation, is
doing good work in club extension. OF
her. visit to the w. NJ. B. club of E1-
dorado. the following report comes to
the state president: Mrs. Singer is
a pleasing and instructive ta1ker, her
diction is perfect and she gave us new
ideas in regard to the good of fedora
ton We are hoping for good results
from her visit and heartily commend
her to other clubs"
To show the efficiency of the MEM
bers of this club, in securing the good
