Mrs. Edward Mcdowell The women
who met Mrs. Mcdowell were anx-
iouS to find some way to help her in
the maintenance of the artist colory

ing the burden alone, and every cent
she makes in her transcontinental con-
cert tour is devoted to the support of
the colony, which gives it's help to
workers not only in music, but in all
the other arts as well. The plan is to
establish an associate membership
list in Kansas. The subject will be
presented to some of the leading clubs

to give an opportunity to help to those
who wish to do so. The colony is the
only institution of it's kind in America
