A cordial invitation is extended by
| the club house teams of which Mrs.
] A. A
| Robinson are captains, to all members
| of the Woman's club and any of their
| friends who are interested in artistic
and unusual things to attend the ex-
hibit of curios and art treasures at the

o'clock is the hour set for opening the
| rooms
People in the middle west and par
| ticularly in Kansas have had it drilled
| into them since childhood that nothing

| state and that in order to see really
worth while things they must make
long pilgrimages to the east or to the
| west, Hence it is well to stop some
| times and take stock of the things at
hand which are worthy of apprecia
ton; and the surprising thing about it
is to find that there really are many
things here that even Boston would
call good. One would scarcely believe
| so many treasures belonged in Topeka
as are on display at the Robinson
home. There are old things and
| strange things and beautiful things.
And the ordinations of the people
who saw them Monday afternoon
prove that they are worth seeing.
Among those who have contributed
to the collection are Mrs. Robinson,
| Mrs Till McKercher, Mrs. Wheeler,
! Mrs H. P. Dillon. Mrs P. G. Noel Mrs
There are a number of others who
have given a few things.
Visitors yesterday afternoon were
received by Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. w. A.
