The first woman’s club in Minneapolis to put into practice the Fifth District Federation of Women’s clubs newest ideal of reciprocity between city and rural women, will entertain members of ten study clubs in Brown county at a reciprocity meeting Saturday at Donaldson’s tearooms.

When Mrs. O. D. Wisner, new president of the Fifth District, assumed office, she created a department of reciprocity and extension service in the hope of bringing about closer relations between Minneapolis women and women out in the state. With that hope in mind, members of the Brown Study club of Minneapolis have arranged an entirely different sort of reciprocity meeting than any ever staged at Minneapolis before.

Organized in 1911

When the Brown Study club was organized in 1911, it had as charter members, women who had formerly lived in Brown county. Although the club has branched out, it will present Brown county women to Minneapolis club women, Saturday. Mrs. T. G. Winter, former president of the General Federation, and Mrs. Wisner will give the principal addresses. Mrs. Willard Bayliss, Chisholm, president of the Minnesota Federation, has been invited to attend.

Mrs. Mo to Give Greetings

Mrs. K. E. Mo, who has lived in New Ulm and other places in Brown county, will give the greetings to the out-of-town guests, and members of the Qui Vive club of Sleepy Eye, the oldest club in the county, will respond for the rest of the group. The American Legion auxiliary quartet will sing, and Miss Alice Broadley, vocalist, Mrs. H. E. Griebenow, soloist, and Mrs. C. W. Reid, member of the Brown Study club, reader, will give a program. The meeting will begin at 2 p.m. Officers of the Fifth District Federation of Women’s clubs and presidents and secretaries of about 20 Minneapolis clubs have been invited to attend the meeting and meet the Brown county women.

Ladies to Attend

A number of New Ulm club women will go to Minneapolis tomorrow and be present at the meeting.
