Miss Williams Gives a Tea TO La
dies and Gentlemen.
GENERAL NOTES OF SOCIETY

An afternoon tea to which both ladies
and gentlemen are invited is a social in
novation, for Topeka at least This, one
of the most enjoyable social functions, is
the latest success in the social world. It
was such an affair to which one of To-
peka's most popular and delightfully."-
entertaining hostess, Miss Myra Williams,
invited her many friends for yesterday
/, afternoon. The announcement that Miss
Williams will receive is q guarantee that
she guests will be entertained, and her tea
of Yesterday was especially charming. An
addition to this element of charm was
the fact that the two young ladies to
whom the tea was complimentary re-
ceived with her. These young ladies,
Miss Grace Morrill, and Miss Constance
Ingalls,, both daughters of men to whom
the state has paid its highest tribute of
honor, are as much admired for their own
accomplishments as is the fair hostess
herself.
An air of hospitality pervaded every
spacious room of the handsome home.
Vases of fragrant, rich yellow daffodiIs
heralded the spring no less than did the
glorious sunlight which was allowed to
stream in the windows everywhere ex-
cept in the dining room, which alone
was darkened TO be Illuminated by arti-
fetal light
The young ladies received in hand
some afternoon gowns, such as the assist
ing friends and callers also wore Those
who presided alternately at the coffee
and chocolate urns and assisted Miss
Williams in ministering to the comfort
of the guests were Mrs. Harry Condo
Ashby, Mrs Arthur Capper, Mrs. A. r.
Lingafelt, Mrs. Harold Chase, Mrs. E. 5.
Quinton. Miss Name Horton, Miss The
Il fhaV a
Misses AIadge and Mabel johnson. In
the dining room vases of daffodils were
the sole floral decorations. A tail Can
delabrum, lighted, stood in the center of
the exquisitely set table, on centerpiece
of quaint oriental workmanship en-
broidered in white and gold.
At opposite corners from tall slender
vases, golden dagodils nodded fragrant
greeting.
Chocolate was served at one end of the
table and tea at the other.
