Season.
FOURMARRlAGES THISWEEk
And Many More to Follow in

The Kismet club closed the dancing
SWEETEST dance of the year at Sedgwack
Music hall The opinion OF all those
present was that it was positively the
best ball the club has given this year
For one thing the music was better than
at any former dance. Professor Blume
had made several additions to his orches-
ira and it was one of the finest ever
heard in a Wichita ball room.
The affair had about it that indescriba-
BILE air of enjoyment which is character
istic of every successful social event. The
dancers seemed to have forgotten every
thing but that they were there for en-
joyment and were getting all the pelas-
ure possible out of the occasion. Among
the costumes of the ladies were some Of
the handsomest gowns ever seen in the
city, while all the gentlemen were clad
in dress suits.
Those present were: Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Englehart, Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
Moffat, Mr.. and Mrs. Howard Wheeler,
