The second annuiil meeting of
the North Central District of the
Texas Federation of Women's
Clubs became the guests of the
City Federation, and ot the en-
tire city, on Tuesday.
At 8:30 p. in a delightful mu-
sical and literary program was
presented ut Heard s theater as
an introduction to the business
sessions to follow.
The exercises were opened by
the Choral Club, a chorus of
which a much larger city might
indeed feel proud, reflecting not
only credit but distinction on the
director, our own Mrs Gibson.
So thoroughly was the selection
enjoyed thnt an encore followed,
which proved sweet ei? than the
first. The solo by Miss Coleman
was particularly pleasing, com-
bined with a sweet voice in a
clear, distinct enunciation, which
greatly enhances the pleasure of
listening. Indeed, each number
rendered deserves special mention
but lack of space forbids.
Miss Mamie Dowell—whose ap-
pearance brings forth applause—
gave in her own wav a recitation
which pronounced her not only
ua elocutionist but an artist.
Mrs T W Wilev, President of
our City Federation! introduced
in an expressive and charming
way Mrs E P Turner of Dallas,
President of the State Federation.
Her address on Civic Improve-
ment was intellectual ami con-
vincing, disclosing a mind and
heart in unison in the work. She
explained the origin of the word
civics, in the sense now used, it
having been introduced a few
years ago to tersely express a
movement looking to the beauti-
fying of the cities over our coun-
try. She then discussed with
ease and wisdom ihe icsthetic, the
practical and the scientific hides
of the work. She sketched beau-
tiful word pictures of the model
home grounds and model school
grounds. Her closing plea for
an industrial school for wayward
and homeless children was re
ceived with a warm, earnest
heart throb of sympathy by every
mother present.
The honors rest not, on Mrs
Turne'- but the State Federation
in choosing her President.
informal brckption at mus. .1.1..

"The world was sad; the garden
was a wild!
The man, the hermit sighed,
till woman smiled"
From 9-30 until 12 o'clock the
elegantly appointed home of Mrs
,1 L Lovejoy was thronged with
the fairest and brightest of our
own McKinney and the honored
representatives of the eighteen
neighboring cities embraced in
this district. Everything was de-
lightfully informal—a coming to-
gether that we might "know and
be known."
Misses Mary Wiley .and Evelyn
Erwin charmingly served each
guest.
After the mingling of happy
> laughter, love and song, we de-
( parted to be refreshed for the
coming pleauircs. The lemem-
! brance of Mrs. Lovejoy's hos-
pitality will be as a fragrant in-
cense lingering with us.
morninu meeting.
The first business session of the
District Federation meeting was
called to order by the President,
Mrs Pondrum.
In a gentle becoming way Dr
King invoked God's richest bless-
ings on the deliberations—the
aim and motive of the Women's
work.
Mayor Doggett shed glory on
himself and city in his 'welcome'
t > the visitors citing, with enthus
•asm, the patriotism possessed by
the Spartan and Greoian women,
and down tho ages to our own
American women and lastly to
those who have perhaps an equal
—but not superior—to our TexM
women.
\
Miss .Jasper, of Piano, received
the welcome in the name of the
delegates and expressed in well
chosen language, tho happiness
felt bv all in the cordial hospital-
ities showered on them.
Mrs Burrus, as representative
of the city clubs, welcomed the
visitors in such an informal sin-
cere manner that it was received
individually, each feeling fiee to
the homes and hearts of McKin-
ney.
The response by Mrs Neathery,
of Farmersville, sparkled with
wit wisdom and worth, closing
with this advice to the >oung
gentleman: "Woman is the grand-
est work of God; tho supply is
inexhaustible, no mau should be
without a copy."
An interesting session was held
Wednesday afternoon. Mrs Fred
Emerson was chosen as a dele-
gate to the Bi-annual Convention
to be held in St Louis, in May.
The Federation will meet next
year in Waxahachie. The Elks
entertained the ladies Wednesday
night.
