Past Week.

PaSt week.
The Sunflower Eucher Club. last
Monday evening met with Miss Emma
McClees, 4O4 North Emporia. The attend
ance was as large as usual and the enjoy
ment was 10 less noticeable than at the
preceding meeting of this social club. The
repast was a very dainty one and lead
ing feature of the occasion. The BOBBY
prizes were won by Miss Lena Rossler and
Mr.. Harry Lesh. These consisted of a toy
chicken and Jap's parasol The head
prizes were awarded to Mr.. keenan, and
Miss Buynum, that young lady receiving
a large vase. After supper the rooms were
cleared of the tables, dancing commenced
and continued until a late hour. The club

McClees.
Last Friday evening Fat the home of
NJ c. Campbell, 1927 North Emporia av-
enue, Miss Anna Campbell, assisted by
Miss Edith Brown, gave reception to
several of their friends. Both these young
ladies are admirable hostesses, and the re-
ception itself bespoke that fact. Everything
pertaining toa successful soiree was provid-
ed and the company present being merry
and congenial one, the evening may not be
termed otherwise than most enjoyable
The evening was passed in social inter
course, dancing and cards. The repast
was sumptuous one and worthy of I'M
bounded praise. Those present were Misses

and Messrs. Fred Anawalt, VIII Hoffman,

A party of eighteen, composed Of sew
eral of Wichita's best known society peo-
pie, accepted an invitation to spend Thurs
day evening at "Sunnyside," about eight
miles northwest of the city. And pleas
ant time indeed was anticipated and had
not the announcement of the illness of Mrs
Jones, the hostess, prevented, an enjoy
| able evening, would havs beenpassed.

The o. n. o. and the Antlers club
| will together give the last ball of the re-
spective clubs of the season, next Tuesday
evening. After several enjoyable balls
given during the winter, the clubs intend
to make this, their last, a most fattering
one. All the members of the the two clubs
| are invited and many have signifed their
intention to be present. The ball will take
place in the Beal dancing academy, which
it is reported will soon be turned into a
gymnasium, as the dancing season has
nearly ceased.
The K. of p ball last Monday even
ing is reported to have been most enjoy
able occasion not only, but also to have
been one of the most successful formal
hops of the season. Gandolfo served the
supper to the company, among whom were:
Mr.. and Mrs. George Bradshaw, Mr. and
Mrs. a. G. Bruggeman, Mr.. and Mrs. c.
II. Pool, Mr. and Mrs. George Gray, Mr.

Mr. and Mrs. s. W. Norris entertained a
few of their friends last Wednesday even
ing at their home on East Oak street. The
evening was passed in cards. etc. The
supper served by Mrs. Norris, who, by the
way, is one of Kentucky's fair daughters,
that fact being sufficient proof, indeed, of
the success of the evening, was a sumptu
Gus one, and the guests fingered long at
table, with many sparkling jest or pleas
ing "reminiscences. Then after supper by
no means did the enjoyment cease; in fact,
the only disagreeable feature of the even
ing both for the hostess and the guests
was the warning of the wee sma' hours
that time had run the length of his license
and the ''merrie companie" must disperse.
