WEDNESDAY CLUB
PLANS PROGRAMS
Work of This Year Will Be
Selected by Members In
stead of Musical Director

There will be a meeting of the
program committee of the Wednes-
day Club tomorrow afternoon to
arrange programs for the work of
the coming season and discuss the
bringing of several artists to the
city.
This committee, Miss Martha r.
Snavely chairman. decided early in
the season to let working members
of the club choose their own selec-
tions of music under the nine gen.
eral subjects assigned for the MORN
ing musicales. This eliminates the
cost of a director and brings the fine
library of the club into active use.
The cooperation of members has
been most gratifying and the club
will issue the year books on Octo-
ber 1.
At a recent meeting of the club
Mrs. Robert NJ. Reeves and Mrs.
James G.. Sanders, both new resi-
dents Of the city, and contralto SOLO
lists, were elected to membership.
Mrs. Wilbur f. Harris was elected
director of the chorus in place of
Mrs. Luth Conkling Sparver, re-
signed.
This year the dues will be col
lected in a new way. Instead of the
treasurer, Miss Robinson, being in
the lobby on the night of the first
concert to give out membership
tickets, which is most confusing in
the general rush. she will be ready
TO receive checks and cash at her
home. III State street, after October
1. Two days before the opening
concert she will be in the lobby of
the Y. M. e. A. all morning for the
same purpose, and members who
have not otherwise secured them
may come there for their cards, with
out which there will be no admit
tance to the concert.
Officers and Committees
The club officers for this year are:
President, Mrs. William l.. Keller;
vice-president, Miss Nancy 1. Skunk;
treasurer, Miss Mary B. Robinson;
recording secretary, Mrs. Roy G..
Cox; corresponding secretary, Mrs.

Jess further declared that the fight
should be held in some big city, pre-
ferably Chicago, and should be
staged in a ball park, because Of the
large seating capacity. This would
mean that the match would have to
be held in warm weather.
The champ suggested that a com
