ming Entertainments.
SEVEN O'CLOCK DINNER
Given by Mrs. Johnston and
Mrs, George.

The North End Whist club is planning
a most unique entertainment for the holi-
day season. The affair vii lbe something
in the nature of private theatricals. given
entirely by the members Of the club The
details of the program are being kept Sc
eret. but this much is known: The fes-
tiyities VII begin with an elaborate {
o'c.ock dmner, served at Mrs. Foster
Brooks. af1er which the company will re-
,,air ~ the home Of Mrs. James L. Dyer,
where the program viii be rendered.
The membership has been divided into
sections with q leader for each, and these
sections are to furnish the entertainment
each division occupying the stage one
hour. during which tine the remainder OF
the company viii compose the audience.
The novel feature of the affair is that the
sections are each keeping their parts OF
the program a profound secret from all
the others. 50 that only those taking part
VIII have any idea Of the nature of the per
formance. As there is considerable talent
in the society in both musical and his
,rionie lines. this entertainment promises
TO be one of some merit. Much TO the re-
srat of their many friends, it has been
decided to make this strictly a club affair.
Il is hoped. however, they may be pre-
vailed upon TO extend their courtesy TO
Others.
This north end club is a marvel in its
way. being the oldest social club now in
existence in Wichita Organized over
eleven years ago, it has never disbanded
or reorgan;zed, but has gone on in the
even tenor of its way. meeting once a week
the year around. except two months in
the heat of summer. Although a very jolly
crowd they pay strict attention to the
merits of the game, as IS evidenced by
their havink won for themselves the repu-
tstion Of being as a whole, the best whist
players in Wichita. Some changes have
necessarily occurred a few families re-
moving from the city, and others taking
their places. Bat for the most part the
membership remains as it was at its or
ganiZstiOn. The strongest and most COM
mendable feature of the club is its perfect
harmony and fellowship. During al these
years of intimate relationship there has
been no friction. The club is loyal to its
own. and appears much like a large fam
fly OF which. If one member is touched in
any way. the entire body is affected.
