The Topeka Federation of Women
has mapped out a program of activities
that shall make it's work somewhat
different from anything that has been
undertaken by the individual clubs.
This work is to be cultural in charac-
ter, but it's benefits are not to be con-
fined to the members of the Fedora
ton. but will extend to the people of
the town outside the limits of it's MEM
bership.
The organiza ton intends to bring to
Topeka the latter part of the winter,
likely the last two weeks of February,
an art exhibit, made up of original
paintings by American artists The
pictures are sent out from New York
and are being brought to Kansas I'M
der the auspices of the art depart
ment of the state university. and the
exhibit will be held at the school be-
fore it is brought to Topeka. The cata-
logue of paintings contains the names
of some of the best known artists of
the country. and the exhibit is valued
at more than $4,000. The event is to
be made something of a social affair
also. for women of a committee APP
pointed by the federation will receive
the visitors every day of the exhibit.
The art committee have not decided
on a place to hang the pictures. but
they are considering a room in the
manual training building of the high
school, and the returns from the eX-
hibit. if there are any above the ex-
pense of bringing it there, will be used
for the purchase of pictures to decorate
the walls of new school buildings.
In connection with the art work of
the Federation, q meeting of the so
ciety will be held Friday afternoon in
the assembly hall of the Y. w. c.. A.
building, and an address on art will
be given by Professor Griffith. of the
state university. The Federation also
expect to have an address by a MEM
Der of the Atheneum club, of Kansas
City This club is an important de-
