A newspaper clipping from the January 1940 issue of the St. Paul Recorder features this photograph with the following caption:

Talking Over a Greater Hallie Q. Brown.
We have a sneaking idea that these ladies are talking over the $24,000 building campaign being launched by Hallie Q. Brown Community House. Discussing the subject over the tea cups are Misses Katherine Jones, I. Myrtle Carden, director Hallie Q. Brown House, Mrs. J. Clovis Hargrave, W. B. Walker and Mrs. John M. Patton. All are workers in the campaign for a greater Hallie Q. Brown. Miss Jones is a member of the XY Supper Club at the Community House, Mrs. Hargrave is commander of Division "C"; Mr. Walker is a team member of Division "A"; Mrs. Patton is commander "B."
