EAT OR NOT To EAT
Shall Topeka Husbands Be Fed
at Art Exhibit.
Question Discussed at Length in
City Federation.
WON BY THE ANTS.
Women Decide They viii Not
Bride the Men.
Must See Pictures on Merits or
Stay at Home.
WON BY THE ANTS.

To eat or not to eat that was the
question at the June meeting of the
Topeka Federation of Women's clubs
at Unity church Thursday afternoon.
OF course the programme as an
nounced was carried out and Frank
L. Clarke. professor of Greek at
Washburn college, gave his talk on
Greek art, Mr.. George NJ. Stone spoke
briefly in behalf of the loan exhibit
OF American paintings being shown at
the Manual Training high school. and
there We're two musical numbers. a
piano duet by Mrs. ]. W. Going and
Mrs H b. Tasker and a vocal solo by
Mrs. William WikidaI, Mrs Robert
Carver accOmDanist.
But the principal event of the after
noon was an unannounced feature:
the discussion of whether or not the
federation in its effort to persuade
the husbands to attend an open meet
ing at the art exhibit, ougft to pander
70 their low animal instincts by serv-
ing punch and waters.
me suggestion was made innocentIy
enough by Mrs. Frank G. Bowen who
mad heard that the way to a mans
neart IS through the stomach and de-
quoted, perhaps, from that we'll known
axiom theory that his aesthetic side
might be reached by the same vulgar
means Her motion received a sec
ond and the president was all ready
10 put the question when Mrs. Mar
garet Hill McCarter arose to protest
against such an appeal to low n1ascu-
line tastes. I do not think it is neces-
sary for the federation women to
brlbe their husbands to visit the art
gallery with them" said Mrs. AIcCar-
ter. ("SOme women have their bus-
bands so wei in hand" sighed a
meek little wife in the back part of
the church, Il believe Mrs. Nc
Carter went on, that those who
would only go for the refreshments
might is well stay al home"
Mrs John C. McClfntock Immediate
ly endorsed Mrs. McCarter's position
and said: 81 agree with Mrs. McCar-
ter and from the tone of the remarks
of those who sit near me I think the
general sentiment of the meeting is
with her on this point and that there
are more Marys than Marthas in the
federation"
After this of course none of the
other women dared confess that their
husbands were less submissive or less
ethereal than other husbands, and
when an amended motion was voted
upon it was decided unanimously to
invite the men to visit the art exhibit
and to hold out no other inducements
than the pictures and Mr.. George NJ
Stone, who has agreed to meet the
club women and talk to them about
the exhibit. 1t was great triumph
for the Marys who represent that
large majority in the federation whose
enthusiasm for the High Life makes
them Indifferent to such attractions as
mere food. but oh. it viii be a great
blow to the meni They do so dote on
punch and waters.
Mrs. Clement Smith, elected president
of the federation in April was in the
chair for the first time at a regular pro-
gramme meeting of the federation and
presided very gracefully and charming

DAY FOR THE CHILDREN.
They May See the Gaskim Shows Free
on Tuesday.

Next Tuesday is the day that the
children get in on one of the good
things of life. On the afternoon of that
date any child in Topeka can see the
Gasl1ill show free. But the youngsters
from the Orphans Home win be granted
a special dispensation. Not only will
the waits be permitted to pass through
the main gate without a ticket, but
the doors of all of the side shows will
also open for them for nothing.
This boon for the children was de-
cided upon this morning by the COM
mittee having the ARRANGEMENTS in
charge. A good many of the children
in Topeka would not be able to visit
the great carnival, and the advance
agents for the show We're willing at
once to admit the little ones free.
Special guards win be furnished and
guides win be on hand during the af-
ternoon to take care of the youngsters
who come. They VIII be taken all

MRS. CRoCHAs WINS HER SUIT.
Ex- Governor Stanley Failed to Score
in District Court.

The jury which heard the suit of the
Johnson-Larime Dry Goods company
against Mrs. Nellie A. Crochas for 81, 300
returned a verdict finding Mrs. Crochas
not liable for the amount The liability
hinged upon her signature to a guaran-
tee for her brother who was in bust
ness in Winfield for a bill of goods
bought from the firm which brought the
suit. The brother died, after failing in
business, and the Wichita firm brought
suit for collection on the guarantee
Mrs. Crochas denied making the sig
nature and the jury decided in her
favor. Governor Stanley appeared for
the Johnson-Larimer company as one
of the attorneys and lost his first case
in a Shawnee county court. N. H
I.oomis represented Mrs. Crochas.
