ELMWOOD UNDECIDED.
Members Do Not Know Whether to
Continue the Family Club.

The question of whether the Elmwood
club VIII be continued or not during
the coming season is one which is at
present giving the members OF that or
ganizatiOn no end Of worry.
The ElmwoOd club is Topeka'S family
club, and there is a possibility that the
club will close its doors after a brief
career.
The club was organized about a year
ago with rs members It was the orig
inal plan to secure members enough to
Justify the erection of club house at
Tenth avenue and Fillmore street.
At a meeting of the members who
had pledged themselves to support this
plan il was decided that il would be
wise to conduct the club for one year in
rented quarters to ascertain whether
it could be made a successful venture
When this plan was proposed, twenty
five OF the members backed out on the
plea that they did not want to belong
unless the club owned its home.
The Foster home at Eleventh and
Harrison streets was selected for the
club house. and the membership worked
up to los. The entertainments and
dances given at the club last winter
were successful affairs. but a number OF
the influential members dropped out,
Offering as an excuse that their bust
ness did not allow them time to enjoy
the advantages of the club. The mem
bershfp has fallen of so that at present
il only numbers so.
The remaining members not wishing to
discontinue the club decided to select
another home, and appointed a COM
mittee to look over the ground and
make a recOmm endation to the club
This committee is composed of W. H.
Davis, chairman, Edward Wilder, w
F. SchOch. John E Moon and W. H
Wilton The committee, after looking
over the ground quite thoroughly. has
decided to recommend two places, and
let the members Of the club decide which
it will be- One is the Dennis residence
on Tyler street between Ninth street
and Tenth avenue The other is the old
Bethany college on Topeka avenue
A meeting has been called for next
Wednesday evening. when il is hoped
that all the members viii be present
At this time everything will be laid be-
fore the members and it will be left with
them to decide the future Of the club.
