A reaction from the holiday eaiety set
IN with the new year and the past week
/ has been uncommonly dull in a social
I way Except for several affairs given
/ in compliment to Mrs. William Eugene
/ Stanley wife of the retiring governor,
and her daughter. Miss Stanley. society
has quite stagnated. The Stanleys leave
/ the Governors House Monday for the
! Copeland where they nave taken rooms
/ for the legislative session and the new
| governor, Mr.. W. J. Bailey and Mr.. and
/ Mrs. Harry j. Bone will occupy the ex-
/ ecutive mansion. Mrs. Stanley and Miss
! Stanley have contributed greatly to the
social galety of Tobeka during Cover
nor Stanley's administration, especially
during the past two years since they Oc-
cupied the states new executive resi-
| dence and have esta blished themselves
very firmly in the cordial favor of the
best people here. Miss Stanley, who
made her formal bow to society last
1 AUTUMN at perhaps the largest and most
! beautiful reception ever given in TODe-
/ ka, is one of the most popular girls of
/ the debutante set. Topeka society loses
/ the Stanleys regretfuliy and will miss
them from the Governors House al
/ though the new mistress, Mrs. Bone,
/ who comes to Topeka from Ashland. but
who formerly lived here, is a very charm
ing woman who VIII do the honors Of
fully.
But there is already evidence that the
present social lethargy is only recupera-
ton and that the weeks which intervene
/ between now and Ash-We Wednesday,,
/ which comes this year on February 25.
viii be busy enough. Several hostesses
are planning affairs before the season
of sackcloth and ashes and the legisla-
tive session always means unusual dc-
tivity in official society. There are to
be a good many out-of-town people
here within the next two months, and
nothing which gives an impetus to so
ciety like the visiting girl.
Just when everybody was beginning
to expect the formal announcement OF
the engagement of one of the prettiest
girls and one of the most popular young
men of the Helianthus" crowd there is
evidence that the girl and another man,
of an older set whose attentions to an
other girl of the Helianthus crowd have
lately been very marked. have started
something" Well, it is probable thai
if it were any of your business you'd
know all about it.
Another engagement is rumored in
this same set. which was only year
ago known technically as the Mellin s
Food crowd" but which is now quite
taking the lead in affairs social. The
girl is by many people considered the
prettiest in Topeka and she IS certainly
one Of the most popular The man is
also very good looking. They have been
devoted for a long time and it is under
stood that since the girls return from
an extended visit in Chicago the affair
has eliminated in an engagement.
The most interesting events Of the pre-
kT.enten season viii be two weddings
formal announcements of which have
Just been made. Mr.. and Mrs. Alfred
Lee Redden announce the engagement
of their daughter Lee and Mr.. Fred j.
Gordon of Walters. Okla The mar
rage will be celebrated some time be
fore Lent. Mr.. Gordon is the son OF
G. S Gordon, Of 436 Greenwood avenue
t The second wedding will be that of Miss
Mabel Quigley, daughter of Mr.. and
: Mrs William A Quigley, and Mr.. Sid
