to many of their large circle of friends
in Topeka. They went to Kansas City

streets, for the present The wedding
is one of uncommon local interest for
both Mr.. and Mrs. Wikidal have lived
in Topeka all their lives and are very
cordially and generally liked. 1t would
perhaps be no exaggeration to use the
unqualified superlative in Mrs. Wiki

town since her debut few years ago.
In addition to her other gifts she has

local vocalist is in greater demand with
audiences. Much satisfaction is derived
among their friends from the fact that

live here and become valuable addi-
