The Dancing Clubs
Having provided itself with thought
full pasume by means of more than a
dozen whist clubs Topeka society has
turned as some suggest to genufection
with even more than the usual yigor and
interest.
The Assembly club which since its
Inception. has been first in social circles
has announced by its temporary com
mittee, Messrs, J. r. Hankls, ". J. Black
B. I. Lewis A. NJ. Mills and c. r. Hud-
son, that the first party of the season will
be given Wednesday evening, October
50, at Library hail.
This party will be 2 full dress affair as
have the others given by this organiza-
ton and will be characterized by the
usual elegance following upon the efforts
of the gentlemen having the arrange
ments in charge.
The only entirely new club is the one
recently organized to be known as the
Sans Pareil club.
The committee has established a men,
bership fee a third higher than that of
any other club in the city, and it is safe
TO suppose that if this club is not with
out equal, as its name would suggest 1t
will be at least without superior.
Mr. Walter Burgess is president, Mr..
T. c. Wear vice president, Mr.. viii
Alexander secretary and Mr.. Clarence
Bowman treasurer, and it is quite natural
for their friends TO expect something
superior from their efforts to give the
most enjoyable parties of the season.
and one cannot doubt that
these efforts will be crowned with
success Many of the members of
the Sans Pareil club belong also to the
Assembly and some of them to the
Bunglers.
The committee who are responsible
for the very appropriate and taking name
are Nessrs. Cliff Histed, Frank Bennett,
and Herman Lescher.
The first party of the season will be
given on the evening Of Friday, Novem-
Der 5, ualess circumstances should neces-
sltate Il change of date, in which case it
viii be announced.
The BUnglers. did not cease to
dance during the summer, have begun
already, and gave their first party on
Thursday evening.
This club, which notwithstanding its
modest name is probably made up OF
some of the most finished dancers in the
city, gives parties which are character
lied by thorough informal enjoyment.
The members will give dance every
alternate Thursday during the season.
making the next one come Thursday
night, Oct "a, at Hudson's hall.
