There is woman in Topeka who
thinks so much Of her dog that she
talks about him most OF the time when
she isn't Dragging about her son of
Whom she is almost as fond. Recently
she. started for a party and her husband
VINO was sitting on the front porch call
ed out this parting admonftion: "Cut
our the dog and the boy this afternoon
Atchison Globe: Society is like
death: the same whether met in a.
small town or in a large city; and a
visiting woman and he rhostess have
the same experiences whether they
/ happen to live in the club set of Atch-
ison or the kings set in London. II
an Atchison woman who has been
taking some company through a series
OF guest-of- honor parties could meet
Mrs Wh1telaW Reid. of London who
is engineering her guest, Mrs. Nicho-
las IongWorth, through social func-
tions, she would find an affinity"
When the Atchison woman's company
first came she of course gave a party
for her guest She could not have
EVERY body" and as her guest was
very choice she picked the best of her
set, but she held out hope to those
left out by saying there would be
other events in honor of her guest.
So party invitations rolled in But
"a
out gave a party and did not invite
the woman or her guest. At first the
woman thought it was d mistake and
that the expectant hostess would
crawl on her knees with the invita-
ton. But the party came off and the
house all the evening sooner than let
the neighbors know the state of
affairs. After thinking it over the
Atchison woman decided not to let
the matter pass by and the daring wo-
man who gave the party without in
viting the visiting woman was COM
PEELED to apologize. The visiting Wo-
man refused to go to any more parties
where the woman who gave the party
without her was invited, and the wo-
man who gave the party announced
her intention OF remaining at home
from affairs where the visiting woman
was a guest of honor. Poor Mrs.
Whitelaw Reid can sympathize with
the -Atchison hostess. She gave a
party for Mrs Nicholas LongWorth
and although she wanted to have
everyone in the kings set it was i'm
possible, so she tried to be very care
full, but the Associated Press dis
patches say that she has raised q
storm Of criticism by her choice.
Women in the kings set who we're to
have entertained for Mrs. Longworth
have Cancelled their dates, and if Mrs.
Reid wants her company to have a
good time she can give her own par
ties. Mrs. Almeric Paget, formerly
Miss Pauline Whitney, was not in
vited to Mrs. Reid's. and so recalled
invitations she had issued for a ball
and dinner for Mrs. LOngwOrth. She
gave the excuse that she was indis-
posed, and the women in London
know, Just as an Atchison woman
would know, that Mrs. Paget is fib-
bing. The Countess of Essex was
much hurt to be left out of Mrs. Reid's
first party and sent regrets 10 the
second one Mrs. Reid gave. Mrs
/ Bradley-Martin was not invited to any
of Mrs Reid's parties, but her mother
was, and SO she gave a dinner for Mrs.
! Longworth The London women say
she would not have given it If she had
been Aeft out and her husband s
mother had been invited instead of her
own mother. A woman will do a
good deal for her own kin Another
thing a guest of honor in Atchison
always does: she gets to the parties
late. She wants to give the impression
that she has so many engagements on
hand that she hardly has time to
dress. Same way In London Mrs.
Nicholas LongwOrth was invited to a
function at 2:3O p. m. She arrived
at 4.30 and some of the women had
become tired of waiting and had gone
home.
Miss Emma Sands was the hostess at
a pleasant little party at her nome,
624 Polk street. last evening. The oc-
casfon was the birthday Of her sister.
Mrs. Annie Roddy. Those who enjoyed
the evening were, Mrs Roddy MISS
Laura Grow. Miss Louise Hopper, Miss
Elizabeth Achenbaugh, Miss Caroline
Robertson, Miss Lucy Evans, Miss Jane
IsenhouF Miss Antoinette Williams,
Miss Charlotte Sheldon, Miss Elizabeth
Evans and Miss Beulah Gilman.
They were discussing girls and mar
riage and the relative advantages of
wise and innocent girls for wives.

Miss Ruby Givens left today for Cal

A good-looking young chap lost his
