For a. number of reasons the October
meeting of the Topeka federation of
clubs in Washburn chapel next Thurs
day afternoon promises to be of especial
Importance. The topic of the meeting,
THE Club Woman and the University"
is of much interest and the speakers,
Mr.. Willis Gleed and the Rev. Charles
NJ. Sheldon, are both certain to have
something worth while to say on this
subject. There will also be three musi-
cal numbers not yet announced, and the
Nautilus club mem berS will be the hos
tesSes at the social hour following the
programme. Mrs. Horton, president of
the federation, and the other officers
are hopeful of a large and enthusiastic
meeting as a mark of appreciation of
the courtesy of the speakers and of the
Washburn faculty which has placed
McVicar hall at the service of the fed
Grafton for the meeting Then, too, the
business to be transacted before the
programme is of unusual importance.
1t concerns the new club house project
which has occupied the attention of
club women to such a great extent for
the past two weeks since Mrs. Noble
Prentis' suggestion that the federation

made known. At the meeting of the ex-
ecutive board of the federation with
