ART GUILD Meeting
Miss Marian Peers Will Address Mem
bers at the What-Not Shop:

Now that the war is over and the
people have the time to think of
something besides war activities. there
is beginning to be a revival of inter-
est in music, literature, and art. Not
least among Topeka's organizations
which are striving to maintain a
proper interest in the finer side of
life, is the Topeka Art Guild. The Art
Guild was organized about two years
ago as the Topeka chapter of the

DUES ARE INCREASED
Members Woman's Kansas Day Club
Must Pay S1.25 Year Now.

The Woman's Kansas Day club has
found it necessary, on account of in
creased prices. to raise it's dues from
81 to SIPS. Ever since the organiza-
ton of the club, the members have
paid 81 per year, which included the
price of the club luncheon at its an
nual celebration of Kansas day, and
also membership fee of rs cents.
The new price allows a dollar plate
for the luncheon and rs cents for the
dues. The committee on arrange
ments found it impossible to give a
luncheon at a cheaper price.
The annual meeting will be held
Wednesday, January 20, at the First
Methodist church. The luncheon will
be served by the members of the
Methodist Aid society.
The place for the evening reception
has not yet been decided upon.

in our maturity who must teach Rus

teach us, grown men in the art of the

volution, not anarchy, is what Ger
