Mrs. Burdette believes that tha greatest power given to women and to women's clubs, is their power to form public opinion, which she terms "Private sentiment expressed." With such a gift her power is unlimited and her work in philanthropy, clubs or civics truly effective.

She is interested to a great degree in civics because of their ultimate effect on the home and believes that after an intelligent decision as to hat is the wisest plan, women may nobly take up the work of the city's -welfare. Mrs. Burdette who, with her husband, the famous humorist, has traveled the world over, in spite of her enormous correspondence and exacting duties, learns all that is possible of women's work in every city she visits.
