COUNTRY LEAP YEAR PARTY.

Wichita's young people have come TO
the conclusion that there is nothing social
that Will Guido country leap year par
ty THIS conclusion was reached some
tirio thursday ncrning after the ball
: h;ch began Wednesday, evening at Gar
field hall. This party was planned and
made a success b. Mrs. George Price
and Miss Mignon Fosnot.
The hall presented a unique scene. Old
fashioned wooden tables were used. first
for cards by few who cared to play,
and then for refreshments. The stage
was further decorated with strings CT
corn hung from the ceiling and about the
walls and with bouquets of artificial
flowers. An organ was ON the stage. and
the dance opened to music on the old or
gan. organ music was dispensed with
later, though the orchestra played old
fashioned dances all evening and the
young people danced to such tunes as
"Old Dan Tucker" and Pop Goes the
Weasel" The old fashioned quadrilles
and schottisches were danced to the di-
roction of old fashioned calls by Mr..
Thornton who acted as caller.
'"hf costumes included everything from
cld pink calico to poplin. The men were
attired in jumpers and overalls and hay
seed and straws were not lacking. Elmer
Rein created much amusement when he
entered the hall wrapped in long ulster,
scarf and cap. and carrying a whip in his
hand and comfort over his arm. Many
costumes were unique. one Of the most
amusing features OF the evening was the
prize waltz when all tried to see who
s,--4
Vet keep perfect time. At this Raw Tack
and Miss Jean Ross won one prize and
Mr. Ulsch and Miss Kate Dorsey an
other The prizes were a bottle Of catsup
labedel Catch Up and a cake Of sa-
polio on which was written Yours for
brightness" Late in the evening refresh
ments were served in the kitchen on
the stage. Apples were passed in dish
pans and doughnuts IN half-bushei bas-
kets cider was also served. Rarely has
a more delightful evening been spent by
the young people and the men voted the
girls as very charming hostesses.>
