party in the sedgwick Music hall The
event was the gathering together of the
best people in Wichita, and the occasion
VIII long be remembered by those who
were fortunate enough to be among the
invited guests.
! The hall had been especially decorated
for the occasion and was perfect dream
| of beauty. The lights were beautifully
arranged and decorated in colored crepe
paper and diffused a soft glow over the
/ entire scene that led one to think the
/ fairies had a hama in the arrangements.
All around the sides of teh hall rows OF
chairs had been placed for the use Of
the dancers and the spectators, and there
( were not a few of the latter who were
enjoying themselves watching the dancers
! as they moved through the stately meas
ures OF the waltz or tripped gaily in the
lighter two-steps. The music which was
furnished by Blume's orchestra, was OF
the most exquisite nature and added to
/ the enjoyment of the music as only the
best of music can. The south end Of the
hall was made into a bower OF beauty for
the purpose of half concealing the mu-
sicians so that it seemed at though the
music was provided by, or at least assist
ed, by fairy hands. Palms were in abun-
dance, while the general effect was great
~ softened by the use of asparagus. The
costumes were appropriate to the occa-
sion. All were richly dressed. and many
gowns of the most bewitohing beauty
were in evidence. Mrs. D. Hays studio,
on the right OF the hall, was in use as
card room, and those who were not
dancing or viewing the dancers often re-
pared to this room, where music and cards
made the moments fly. Allison & Dixon
Office, next north of the last named room,
was used as a smoking room, while the
stock exchange room on the left of the
hall was used as a dining room, where
dainty Refreshments were served. The
evening will be long remembered as one
of the brilliant entertainments in the
history or wichita society
