MISS MYRTLE DAVIS

Natures
For the holiday season, society is dull
in Topeka. Several interesting events
have marked the week just closing but
the contrast between this holiday season
and several preceding ones is unfavora-
BILE Next week will probably be little
brighter though few events are as yet
scheduled.
The first affair of any Importance is
the Century ball on New Years eve.
The subject OF dress is being discussed
not a little in regard to this ball as the
question has not been fully explained;
at first it was intended to make i a
fancy dress ball but that idea was given
up and it is to be a full dress party in
stead.
The following day number of people
will keep open house; the parties are not
numerous but nearly all of them are
large. The week will be closed by
large reception given by Mrs. David a
Mulvane and Miss Virgiline Mulvane
and there will doubtless be a number of
small affairs in between.
