The Topeka high school chapter of
the lambda Abba lambda sorority
gave its first big dance last night at
Steinberg's. The chapter, made over
from q local sorority, the Pi Pi, was
only recently installed and last night s
entertainment was really its debut in
that gay young smart set of high
school girls and boys which is setting
such rapid pace in the way of enter
tanning as to cause the grown-ups
considerable concern for their laurels.
TT was an awfully lovely party
Rose and white, the sorority
colors were in evidence in decorations,
refreshments and other details. Lit
orally hundreds of Lambda Alpha
pennants, rose and white, adorned the
walls, the lights were shaded in pink,
the orchestra was stationed behind a
bank Of apple blossoms and palms and
there were big jardinieres of pink and
white peonies placed effectively
throughout the reception, dancing and
supper rooms. The dancing hall was
cooled by electric fans whirling be-
hind big blocks of ice in which pink
and white flowers had been frozen
and the ices were served from other

The first book Of 1Ioffat Yard & Co,
the new New York publishers, is out. It
is Richard Barry's Port Arthur and is
made UP Of the personal observations
OF the author who was a war CORES
pOndent at the front. The book gives
the reader a. feeling of personal famih-
arity with a subject which is upper
most in the mind of nearly every one.
Mr.. Barry not only saw but he has told
the thrilling story of the fall of Port
Arthur in a way that will interest ev-
cry one.
Seven years ago, when Joseph Jeffer-
son was dangerously i'll in New York,
he requested his friend, the late Lau-
renee Hutton, to write something about
him in a kindly way,''-as he express
ed Ito be published after his death
Mr. Hutton prepared for Harper's
Weekly an article of Renaissance and
appreciation in accordance with his
friends request. But as Jefferson re-
covered from his illness, the article was
OF course withheld. By an odd DISPOSE
ton of fate, Mr.. Jefferson survived his
biographer by almost a year. Now that
ne, too, has died, his wishes have been
carried out regarding the publication
of this article. 1t appears in the cur
rent number Of Harper's Weekly.
The Reader Magazine for June con-
tains the first installment Of Meredith
NicholsOn's new story, The House of
a Thousand Candles" which will run
through seven numbers of the maya
zine. The story is conceded by those
who have had an opportunity Of read
ing it to be by far the most vivid in
tense and virile novel Mr.. Nicholson
has produced. It is a story of Indiana,
the time is the present, and the scene
is laid in the picturesque lake country
Of the HoOsier state. In plot, develop
ment and action the narrative is crisp
" fresh and compelling and there can
be no doubt that in his latest work the
brilliant young author Of THE Main
Chance" and zelda Cameron has
produced a story that viii place his
name well to the fore in the list of
American writer's Of fiction. Howard
Chandler Christy illustrates 1.-The
House OF a Thousand Candles a draw
ing in tint by him for the first INSTALL
men being the frontispiece of the June
number.
Mr.. Hopkinson Smith in his last book
Of stories, AT Close Range" devotes
much time and space to a number of
successful attempts to put before the
public a right idea of a class of men
whom that public is hardly apt to con-
slider the object of sentiment-the COM
mercial travelled They do Mr. Smith
says, more kind things and more con-
siderate acts than people would ever
give them credit for. They are gentle
men with all their faults and thorough
ly American in their virtues and to
prove his point he takes as heroes Of
more than one of his stories the travel
ing man of commerce. No one who has
read the pleasant kindly stories in this
new book can help but agree with the
author
DR.. George H. Picord. formerly of To-
peka but now Of Boston, has written a
new book, THE Bishops Niece" just
published by the Herbert B. Turner
company of Boston. DR.. Picord created
