In Topeka, where even the very
smartest set is contented with two or
three society functions to the week.
where an engagement for every day IS
likened unto the strenuous life social,
and where, if the butterflies of fashion
attend an afternoon and evening party
on the same day they think they are
going the pace that kills, there is very
little opportunity for the use of a new
phrase which the social season just
closed IN New York has added to the
ocabularies of those who seeking to be
up-to-date in every respect want to be
modish in speech as well as in dress
and manner. The phrase, which like
many others of it's kind is of English
origin, consists of two words, Going
on, and is used to express at one soclaf
gathering that a person is going on
somewhere else later in the evening
MANY go on from dinners to dances
during the social season, and that
phrase is used to express such an inten-
ton. In Topeka. however, the express
sion seems destined to a career of innoc-
uOQS deSuetude, although one man
claims to have had occasion to use it
once in that busy post Lenten period
when the marriage of two popular So
cleIX girls maze IDlQSS so gay IOE Il
fortnight and when rush of engage
ments made it necessary for him in one
night to go on from a dinner to
dance, from the dance to a bachelor
supper and from the bachelor supper
to a prolonged session with Colonel
R. E. Morse.

next week are several entertainments
