In the fall of 1902, Lawrence was attending the Pennsylvania Military College. Helen was attending a college in New York. Margaret was still attending classes at the Carnegie Institute. At Christmas 1902, trouble came to the Brown family. A man named Harry Call was suing JJ for $50,000 for wife alienation. Call's wife Maude had left him and their son to be with JJ. The case was settled out of court.

From 1902 to 1903, Margaret and JJ took a trip around the world. Mary Mulligan came with them. They were gone for nearly a year. India and Japan were two of the countries the Browns enjoyed. 

In 1903, Margaret became friends with Judge Benjamin Barr Lindsey. Judge Lindsey had made a large impact on the formation of juvenile law in the US. By 1904, Margaret was hosting fundraising events for Denver's juvenile court. 

In November of 1904, the annual juvenile benefit was an art show. In 1905, Margaret organized another benefit at the Broadway Theater. In March of 1906, tensions between Margaret and two ladies of Denver's high society began to show. Mrs Crawford Hill and Annie Whitmore were of the opinion that Margaret was not qualified for Denver's innermost society circle. Mrs Whitmore was running to be President of the Denver's Woman's Club.
