ing and the programme and social part
in the evening.
1t was an experiment dividing the
meeting into two parts, but was a sue
cess and will doubtless be tried again
in the future.
Mrs A H Thompson, president of
the federation, presided at the evening
meeting in her own charming manner
In a few words she introduced the ar
lists of the evening, Mrs. Houston
Whiteside of Hutchinson and Mrs.
Charles Gleed Of Topeka, to the aud
fence.
Mrs. Whiteside charmed her audience
with her paper on Ballads, illustrated
with snatches of songs, characteristic
of many of the different nations. Mrs.
Whiteside has a remarkably strong
sweet voice, and at the close of each
song she received applause. She was
accompanied by Mrs. Gleed, wh0 played
as an introduction,a group from Chopin;
later on she played Chopin's Ballad in A
fiat and cradle song. Mrs. Gleed
needs no introduction as she is one of
TOpeka's most talented musicians
The people who had the pleasure of
hearing Mrs. Whteside and Mrs. Gleed
in Junction City were delighted to have
the opportunity of hearing them again
and Topeka people showed their apprec-
lation of the treat prepared for them
by turning out in large numbers.
Each member of the federation had
the privilege of inviting one guest.
Unity church was decorated for the oc-
casion with quantities of palms, roses,

The members of the Atlantean club
were the hostesses of the occasion, and
they looked after the comfort of their
guests in a kindly cordial manner. After
the programme, which was concluded
about $50, some time was spent social
ly, and ices and cake were served by
the Atlanteans.
The ladies of the federation as we'll as
their guests were handsomely gowned,
| thus adding much to the attractiveness
| of the affair.
TIn off eaNf he AJ1@i Of
| ing in the morning was so large that it
! was necessary to open up the lecture
room in order to accommodate every
The first part of the morning was
| spent in making a number of changes
in the constitution after which the sub
| ject of the union lecture course was
taken up. 1t was decided that the fed
Grafton would still continue to be iden-
| titled with the high school and Wash
burn in regard to the lecture course.
The past season the federation has
been under promise not to give any pay
| entertainments outside of the lecture
course; one of the ambitions of the fed
Grafton is to take up the decorating of
| the public schools and in order to do
| this it will be necessary to give some
entertainments to raise money, and the
lecture course committee has abSO1Ved
| them from their promise.
Miss Crosby gave an interesting talk
| on art in the schools, after which
| letter from Mrs. Rockwell of Junction
| federation for it's kindness to her.
1t was decided that the Topeka fed
| Grafton would not join district fedora
| ton 1t was gratifying to the fedora
! ton to have the Ladies' Music club,
| which withdrew from the federation
some time ago, rejoin its ranks.
