At a meeting held Thursday after
noon, the assembly room at the Y. w.
G. A. was packed, and chairs placed
in the aiSles. Mrs. Lee Monroe, preS1-
dent of the club, presided at the meet
ing, and a discussion of affairs of the
club resulted in voting $50 as the
first contribution toward the woman s
building to be erected by the women
of Kansas to commemorate their en-
franchisement. The plan was adopt

izanship, and it is hoped that the
memorial will be completed during the
year that the women of the state cast
their first vote for president.

a minimum wage for women and the
white slave traffic, and duties or the
new citizens. DR.. Charles M. Sheldon
made the first address, expressing his
sympathy with the work the club IS
undertaking, and offering some sug-
gestions as to the best way for them
to handle the enterprise. Before

essary for the accomplishment of your
purposes is publicity. The pressure
