Mrs. Frederick w. Watson's recep-
ton Friday afternoon brought to a
brilliant close her unusually successful
administration president Of the City
Federation of Women's clubs. The Of
fee from which Mrs. Watson retired
Friday on the election of Mrs. Lee
Monroe, is difficult and exacting, but
Mrs. Watson accomplished the impoS-
sible: she made no enemies. she en-
couraged no factional disturbances and
she made hosts of friends-in fact as
many as there are women in the feder-
alton. The organization has never had
q president who did as much for it
socially as Mrs Watson has done. She
served as president for a year and
half and in that time entertained every
club in the observation-disclosures are al
most thirty-at an afternoon meeting
at her house. Through her generosity
the federation celebrated the two
Arbor days of her administration with
free distribution of hundreds of flow
ering plants and trees to make To
peka beautiful. She has opened her
house to local and visiting club women
and her hospitality has been a charm
ing feature of her notable service to
the federation. The reception Friday
was in honor of the new president, Mrs.
Monroe, and of Mrs. c. c. Goddard of
Leavenworth and Mrs. Eustace H.
Brown of Olathe. Mrs. Brown closed
her administration as president of the
State Federation in May when Mrs.
ha r
ed. Every one remarked on the beauty
and distinction of the receiving party.
Mrs. Goddard at its head, is one of the
most regally handsome women in Kan
sas. She is tall, beautifully proportion
ed, with striking dark eyes and silver
white hair which was dressed very be-
Ecomingly for this occasion with gold
Grecian bandeau. She wore a distin-
guished gown of lavender embroidered
crepe with trimmings of duchess lace
and guimp and sleeves of tucked net.
Mrs Watson, whose administration
would be remembered for the beauty
of it's president if for no other reas-
on, was in pale yellow crepe de chine
and white lace and wore the fedora
tons gift, a sunf1ower pin of gold set
with a diamond surrounded by pearls.
Mrs. Brown, always pretty and charm
Ing, with sweet and gracious dignity,
was in lingerie gown of black and
white with touches of blue and trim
innings of white lace. Mrs. Monroe
wore an uncommonly pretty gown of
pale blue silk and white lace. The
beautiful house, one of the most attrac-
tive in Topeka, was decorated with
peonies, fully a thousand being used
to fill the great vases and jardinieres
in all the rooms. Serving was done in
the dining room and punch was served
by Miss AItha Watson and Miss Doro-
thy Barber in the living room on the
second floor. Mr.. Ray Halls orchestra
