She was followed by L. d. Llewelling or
the negative, whose argument ELECTED
great applause from the gentlemen). The
most telling point scored by him was that
the slang phrases of the present day very
decidedly showed mans superiority from

each lady and gentleman alternately, as
called by the secretary. The judges were
allowed five minutes to make their decis-

the affirmative.
One of the most pleasing features of the
program was trio by Mrs. and Miss Stiles
and Mrs. Parker. The next meeting will

Wichita is a music-loving city, which
! does not follow that il is a competent
| judge in all cases. The best audiences to
be met with in this city are at musical en-
tertainments. 1t may be observed here,
| at some of the most refined musicaIes the
attendance is very small Besides the
transient artists, the town also takes
great interest in her own students,
among whom there are many really
talented, and takes pleasure in bestowing
well-merited praise upon them. For this
reason the numerous recitalS that are
given by different schools here are well at
tended. But unfortunately the appre-
ciative audience is made to undergo some
cruel tortures in the shape of an incompe-
tent number sandwlched in the program.
And then if an criticism is INDUCED
in, there is generally somebody hurt
Now, when an institution pawns off a
piano number on an audience who has
been kind enough to attend, when they
had far better stayed at home and heard
the cat perform by meandering up and
down the keyboard, it is extremely diff
cult not to criticise. The recital should
be Gewadhaus and not a parlor where
a fond mother shows off the abilities of
her daughter of ten. In one place the
truth, however hard. is heard, in the other
unwholesome tiattery.
Lent is here and now Mrs. Wrinkles Ia
ments to her friends the monotonous
quietude she is subjected to when she has
not been known to dance more than
twice at the fifty balls she has atten led
this season. And there is Mrs Colt. who
recently married into wealth aud has
pulled her poor recluse of a husband
around outrageously and made him vege-
tate about the walls of all the ball rooms,
now she stays at home and thinks how
much society she really is. Again the
ladies from an eastern city, who doubt
lessly, never caught glimpse of an east
ern drawing room, yet think western
things so borish, have stopped their glab,
at Misses Art, Music and Letters
cessation of hostilities in regard to
tone, technique and characteristics respec-
lively, and mamma has wrapped little
Henry up in chamois and laid him away
for Lent; little Henry who is Is and avidu-
oUsly grasps at the latest collar or hat and
smokes big cigars and lcoSs like the han
die of an ice cream freezer somewhat. And |
Ar. Oldboy, who is admired of all the fair |
sex, who dresses in style, eats slow and |
sleeps long, has couple of scandals at |

IN the world, has surrendered a last. And !
all are rest Poor things.
The Seaforths last dance Monday even !
ing at the armory of the Eagle Rifles was |
a very gorgeous affair. All the ladies |
were in full dress and many luxuriant |
new costumes were noticed. The gentle |
man did not comply to propriety SO well |
as regards dress, however. But so far |
as the enjoyment of the participants
was concerned the evening was
most successful and ranks foremost
among this clubs dances. The company
