RECAPITULATION.
;ociety in wichita the Past Week.

ciety in the city the past week, caused, no
doubt by the general disagreeable weather.
Not ball. with the exception CT the one
given by the Antler club at their hall in
the Morris building, was given. With the
ball at Eagle Rifles armory next Friday,
balls will not be so scarce this week. The
card clubs of the city did not fail to hold
their regular meetings however, last week,
and in this respect society was up to the
standard The ''Fairview whist" the
''Piety Hill euchre," the North End
whist and the sSunfower euchre,"
all held meetings this week, which
proved equally as enjoyable as any hereto
fore given by the respective clubs. Two of
the city's most prominent society people,
it is reported, will be welded On the first
of February: also in a few days wedding
will take place, in which one Of the news
paper men, Mr. Mackenzie, of this city,
| will take conspicuous part. 1t is re
ported that the Eagle rifles have, since
their last ball, added several strict articles
| to their constitution and that the ball next
Friday will be very select. For the past
| few days there has been some sleighing,
which cannot be regarded as the best in
| the world, but it was only the young gen
/ y
their height that INDUCED in this ex-
pensive sport. Among other rumors
on the street one was that Mrs. Bull
lard, of Beals dancing academy, was
also forming a club. Gandolf has adopted
new plan, new at least TO Wichita, OF
serving breakfast from to 10, luncheon at
| II and supper from to S. This accommo-
dates many of the city's folk. VIII there
| be any theatre parties at the opening OF
! the new opera house and after? Society in
/ this city has been sadly neglected the past
year. it may be said, in this respect. The
congenial Mr.. Munson has departed for
| California, where he will remain, it is
rumored, the rest of the winter. Several
of our society folk were thrown into
commotion by yesterday morning EAGLES
report that A. H. Greet and Mr.. o. B. Stocker
! had left the city, but the Beacon an
nounced Friday night and the EAGLE Sat
urday morning that these gentlemen had
returned from a trip over the Wichita q
! Western. Are locals scarce? Mr..
Eugene Garnett, after having had the city
papers dispatch him to Chicago something
less than an half dozen times, has left at
| last for the last named city. Who was
the one gentleman so lavish with silk UNI
! brellas and cut flowers to so many different
young ladies Christmas? Eph. Hotfman's
many friends will be glad to hear that he
! is quite recovered from his late illness.
| Miss Lucy Mater left last week for the
east, where she will remain for some time.
| H. l.. Gordon returned from the east last
! week
