THE woMEN's FEDERATION.
Eighteen of the Twenty-Eight Clubs
Represented

When the roll was called at the
City Federation meeting yesterday the
secretary being absent, the acting Sec
rotary reported that the Atlanteans,
Conversation club, Cosmos Literature,
Daughters of the Revolution, Equal
Suffrage, Golden Rule, In Temporal,
Occidental, POrtia, Ra1ston, Research,
Shakespeare, Spalding Reading Circle,
Vignette and West Side Reading Circle,
eighteen clubs in all were represented
out of the twenty-eight belonging.
Immediate attention was given to the
Hyllested concert. The time is Satur-
day evening, April 80; the place Library
hall, at SIS. The performer to bring
his own piano and pay his own expens-
es, apart from programs, tickets, print
ed slips to attach to his pictures and
newspaper advertising, and to receive
$50
The Federation authorized the ex-
penditure of $40 for printing. The price
of tickets was made 35 cents to mem
berS of the Federation and so cents to
outsiders, the tickets to be sent to the
corresponding secretary, Mrs. c. H.
King, and through her distributed to
the secretaries of the various clubs.
A called meeting will be held Thurs
day p. M, April 28 at Library hall to
hear Mrs. Sarah PIatt, president of the
Denver Women'S club. No admission
will be charged, and as Library hall
will only seat four hundred, exclusive
of the aisles, each member of the Fed
GRAFTON is allowed to bring with her one
guest.
The treasurer's report showed that
there was 1921. % in the treasury and she
explained that IS was due Unity church
for the annual meeting-$2 for the use
of the physical culture parlors and as
the club members of the Federation
numbered ASH the individual members
members and 81 for every twenty-five
or fraction thereof, the annual dues to
the State Federation should be $13,
making a total Indebtedness of 800.
The individual membership dues were
to be reckoned from the first of Janu-
airy, but since the right to vote and
make motions has been taken away
from the associate members or rather
was never legally given to them it is
thought that the number of associate
members will not become so large as
to be embarrassing.
There are still three tickets out I'M
paid and unaccounted for from the
Marion Crawford lecture, and the ex-
treasurer made her usual explanation
of the dollar and a half charged to
profit and loss on her books. II is to
be hoped the neglectful holder of said
tickets will present herself himself
before the next business meeting and
take a weight off the minds of the
Federation.
The Woman's club of Topeka again
asked for admission and was voted in
but the dues of only 16 of the %
members has been paid, it was consid-
cred best to defer reporting their MEM
berShip to the State Federation until
next year, and that no additions should
be made to the "a delegates already Sc
lected to go to Ottawa and represent
the City Federation.
The constitution was then taken up
and legally and constitutionally
amended, making an auditor instead of
an auditing committee, the correspond
ing secretary an appointee of the
president. Hereafter amendments to
the constitution can only be made at
regular meetings and auditor was SUBJ
stituted for auditing committee in the
bylaws.
Mrs. Wood was made auditor and
Mrs. Carver appointed corresponding
secretary. The time and place of fur
nishing tickets for the Hyllested con-
cert will be published in the Journal
and the Capital and the corresponding
secretary, Mrs. c. H King, was en-
powered to receive both money and
tickets after the concert, and turn
over the money to treasurer with an
