At Miss Hamblin's recital Monday even
ing one feature was especially commenda
ble-that is, the breylty of the program.
Mr. Garst's But the Lord is Mindful, of His
Own" from Elijah, was decidedly the best
number of the program. Miss Geneva
Jocelyn made her first appearance and
sang very sweetly, and Sherman Skinner
accompanying on the violin did excel
cellenrly. The piano accompaniment,
also, throughout was noticeably good
The next recital will be devoted to Schu-

be made up than from the songs of "Ossi-
an" and "Mignon," the "Erl KONG" and

Wichita is danced out The Seaforth |
and Antlers clubs, which were fiourishing !
a short time ago, can scarcely call out a |
fair attendance. The AntlerS, though its 1
last was well attended, has lost
the interest of a large number |
of its members, and the Seaforth dimin- !
ishes in members week by week. Both |
these clubs may be criticized. especially |
On the informality in dress. This coming |
to ball with ''the signs of your profess !
sion on" is unprecedented outside of Wich-
ita. The peasants of Normandy viii put |
on their Sunday clothes for a dance on |
the green and yet lay no claim to so
ciety." The origin of this local custom
possibly may be traced back to the Indian
medicine-man, who danced here formerly
at the changes of the moon and vi no was
never known to wash or dress at all
A very pleasant surprise occurred at the
residence of Rev. j. ID. Hewitt on Tuesday
evening. The Young Peoples Society of
Christian Endeavor of the First Presby-
terlan church which has grown TO be a
prosperous and effective organization
under the fostering hands OF Mr. Hew t
and his estimable wife. desired to show its
appreciation of their services in some suit
able way Accordingly about o'clock
about seventy I'VE young people filed into /
the preSense OF the as 0nShed clergyman
and ladr. The guests brought With them
two beautiful rocking ch sirs which Mr.. II.
W Ruie on behalf of the 50 ietv. in very
felicitous and feeling manner presented To
Mr.. and Mrs. Hewitt Though taken
omrletely 10y surprise Mir Hew { ex-
pressed himself highly graiitied at this
token of the socletys regard ana went on
at some length In mis- usual happy vein
The remainder OF the evening was passed
very eujoyably with music and in CONVEX
