 There was a special meeting of t<-~ Wednesday Afternoon Musical club yesterday afternoon in the sun parler of The Stratfield at which Mrs. D. H. Warner, the president, was in the chair. Two actions of rather import ant ca1fbre were taken after a serious discussion of the matters. It was de- cided to create a list of associate members. To do this it was neces- sary to amend the bylaws and the proposition was carried through with out dissenting vote.
 The active membership list of the club is limited to 100 members. There are quite a few members who joined the club some years ago or who were charter members even, Some who are now active members became such in the first few years of the clubs existence. The rule governing the status of an active member explicitly states that such member shall take an active part in the club programs, furnish a substitute or pay a fine.
 Not a few of these active members for various reasons are unable to take an active part in the club work as far as the musical programs go, but at the same time are the clubs most willing workers and supporters. This change in the bylaws is especially to benefit these people. They will have sAe privilege of voting just the same as ever and in fact their status will not be changed at all except for the fact that they will not be requir- ed to take an active part in the pro- grams.
 This change will also enable the club to take in some of the younger musicians who would like to become active members of the organization and also will permit musicians who have come from other cities and whose proper musical home is in the Wednesday Afternoon Musical Club to be placed on the list of active mem bers.
 The second matter decided upon yesterday was to leave the policy of the club for the coming year until the early fall. The unsettled state of conditions in general, and the neces- sity for war work made the club feel that it would be in better position to decide the course to pursue next season in the fall than it was at the present time.
 The one and only 1913 appearance of the Tingley Brothers Circus in this city will be held at the Y. w. c. A., on Golden Hill street, Tuesday even ing, May 21.
 Doors will be open at 7:30 D. m. Admission to the building will be free. The many side shows are to be popu- larly priced. All the usual attrac- tions will be shown. In addition Messrs. Tingley Brothers, under the direct local management of the Lamda Taus and the Iota Sigma Clubs, have contracted with the worId-to-be- famed Dr. stoutyesno, who has dis covered so simple a method of in- creasing or reducing weight that an individual under his treatment can be made to add or lose weight in one short office call. Demonstrations of his work will be given at the circus.
 Lucia La Fine, who has danced be- fore select audiences in this city and who has been much admired for her talent as a toe and interpretative dancer, has agreed to dance at this circus.
 Kettle band concerts will be given in the living rooms at S:15, at 9:15 and at 10:15 m.
