ception at o'clock in the afternoon,
and in the evening there will be q

city.
Some after luncheon speeches will
be made, and at the reception in the
afternoon, further addresses will be
given. The reception is to be held at
the Governors Official residence, in
Eighth and Buchanan streets, and will
begin at o'clock. The hour is set
rather late, in the hope that the fed
Grafton women, who also have
luncheon on that date, will be able to
attend in the afternoon. The plans
for the special were, of course, made
in Washington, and the itinerary was
made out so that the visit to Topeka
fell on the second day of the fedora
ton convention, fact quite unfore-
seen by those who planned the ex-
petition. Those who are in charge
| of the arrangements hope that the
coming of the special on one of the
! convention days will enable many of
the federation women to attend some
of the meetings, who otherwise would
not be able to do so.
| Speeches will be made at the re-
I ception. and the company attending
will probably be divided so that three
speakers can be heard at once The
north wing of the house will be oc-
| cupied by one set of listeners and
| speakers; the south side of the house
| by another, and porch meeting will
probably be held on the veranda

the city. where they viii hold open air
meetings.
Miss Helen Todd. of New York. will
