CLUB WOMEN MEET.
Make Arrangements to Attend
State Meeting at Salina.

meeting of the Topeka Federation
of Women's clubs without Mrs. H. o.
Garvey, Mrs. W. A. Johnston or Mrs.
A H. Thompson sounds like an impos-
sibility. but one was held in Unity
church this morning in spite of the alb
sence of these and other Powers That
Be. who are now attending the General
Federation of Women's clubs at Los An
geles. The meeting today was called
by Mrs. E W. Poindexter, vice president
of the City federation, in accordance
with an order left by Mrs. Garvey, the
president. when she went to California.
Mrs. Poindexter presided with Mrs. A.
H. Vance, secretary. and there was
present a fair representation of the To-
cal women's clubs.
The meeting of the state federation at
Salina, May q, % and 20, was the inn
mediate occasion of this mornings meet
ing, which convened at 10 o'clock, and
the subject Of the representation from
the Topeka federation was the principal
one discussed. Topeka is entitled to As
voting delegates and it is expected that
at least so women from this town will
attend the meeting. If as many as %
attend a rate of one fare will be made
by the Union Pacific which is the only
direct route from Topeka and which was
voted the official route this morning.
In any case a rate Of one and a third
1dGe, on the GeGIlNCal6 pldus Will DC
made. The delegation will probably
leave Topeka at 1870 Monday. May 26,
and if it includes so or more, will have
a special car
A programme of unusual interest has
been arranged for the Salina meeting,
and several Topeka women will appear
upon it. Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter IS
the chairman of the department on lit
erature and will have paper. Mrs An
ME L. Diggs viii talk about the Three
fold Aspect of Civics." Mrs. T. F. Car
Ver's subject viii be 1.-THE Bible in the
Public Schools" The Topeka clubs
which are devoted to ceramic and other
arts and to art study will be represent
ed in the art and educational exhibition
at the First Presbyterian church of Sa-
lima; which is to be a feature of the
federation meeting, and it is expected
that the exhibition by local artists will
be very creditable to Topeka. Probab-
" no organization in the state can make
as fine a display of the work of its
members as the local ceramic art club
! Mrs. Clark, head of the school of art at
| Washburn college, will send a number
of original drawings in black and white
and water colOrs, the work Of the Wash
burn students, and Miss Sallie Crosby
viii be among the individual exhibitors
from this town. The committee in charge
| of the art exhibition has written To-
! peka women that the services of a pro-
| fessional packer have been secured to
insure against any damage to the works
| loaned.
An attempt will be made to have the
| next meeting of the state federation at
| Topeka. It has not met here for six
| years, and the local clubs are anxious
to have the club women of Kansas
gather in the new Auditorium. The in
dividual clubs of the city federation
have this subject under advisement,
and the result probably will be a large
delegation from here in order to secure
the next meeting for Topeka.
The election of a recording secretary
! to succeed Mrs George Barker, of
Lawrence, resigned, will be among the
matters which will come up before the
| federation.
Among the delegates who have al
ready decided to go to Salina are Mrs.
! E. D. McKeever, from the CaledOnian
club; Mrs. J. F. Daniels and DR.. Mary
