The Womans club of Topeka held
meeting Thursday afternoon at the
high school building to finish the con-
sideration of the new set of bylaws.
The bylaws were read at the annual
meeting the first part of the month,
but for lack of time, the discussion
and adoption had to be postponed.
The bylaws were considered sec
ton by section. The principal dis
cussion concerned the limiting of the
mem bership and the dues. The mem
bership fees, since the club was re-
organized as the Federation of Wom-
en-, have been $3.50 apiece. At the
time that amount was set, there was
a great deal of discussion on the
amount of the dues, and some favor
ed~~placing them at $40; others, at
| $3.50. In drawing up the bylaws for
the newly Incorporated society, it was
proposed that the fee should be $3.50.
! 1naSmuch as many of the members
are affiliated with other organization
that require dues and additional con-
| tributionS in money, it was finally de-
cided that dues of $3.50 for the Wom-
ans club would be too burdensome
| for many members. Whereupon the
rise in the membership fee was vot-
! or fIn for
continue to be $3.50.
The committee on bylaws pro-
! posed that the membership be limited
! to 800. Inasmuch as there are now
| more than 300 women in the club the
plan for restricting the number to 300
did not seem feasible to the majority
so a limit of 400 was placed on the
membership. That the club will rap
idly fill to that limit, there is no rea-
son to doubt, considering the rush tc
its ranks that has taken place in pre-
ViouS years.
