Not to detract from the triumphs OF
their predecessors Car be 1t from
suchD but you'll really have to give II
to the entertainment committee winch
was in charge of the July informal at
the Country club last night. Mrs. Frank
Scott Davis, the chairman. planned the
evening and her assistants were MES
Schuyler c. Nichols, Mrs. w. ii. East
man, Mrs. George NJ. Crawford and Mrs.
B. F. Akers. Many clever and original
ideas in entertaining have been carried
out at the Country club, but the con-
sensus of opinion of the spectators was
that Mrs. Davis show" last night was
the best of the bunch so far. Amateur
vaudeville and living pictures were the
features of the entertainment. A stage
was improvised on the lawn in front OF
the club house, and in the background
was a canvas frame in which some OF
the prettiest young women and girls In
town, picturesQuely costumed, were
posed for the tableaux vivants. Follow
ing the programme refreshments We're
served in the summer dining room and
the evening closed with an informal
dance.
Mr.. E. L. Copeland made the an
nouncements for the vaudeville, which
land. the favorite amateur coon
sEouter" of Topeka He sang, Let Me
Down Easy" and, for an encore, II m
All In, Down and Out" The living pic
lures which followed displayed three at
tractive girls of the high school and col
lege set, who are certain to be among
the bellies of their respective seasons.
Miss Elizabeth Holiday, generally con-
coded to be the most beautiful girl in
Topeka, as Countess Potocka, her cous-
in, Miss Katharine Kellam, as Priscilla
and Miss Gertrude McClintock as Poca-
hontas. Miss Holiday, who is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles K.
Holiday, is a high school girl, a mem
Der of the Owl sorority. Miss Kellam,
daughter of Mrs. T. ]. Kellam. is a stu
dent at Washburn, member of the
Delta Psi, and will be graduated next
year. Miss McClintock is the third
daughter of DIR. and Mrs. J. c. McClin-
took, and will enter Smith college next
fall. Miss Holiday was dressed and
posed after the best known portrait of
the Polish beauty, which she closely re-
sembles. She wore a quaint blue gown
with a lace frill at the throat and blue
ribbon bandeau in her "bonny brown
hair" Miss kellam, who is a petite
blonde, suggestive of a Greuze shepher-
dess, looked especially charming in her
Puritan dress, and Miss McCintocks
Indian costume was exceedingly becom-
Ing.
Miss Reita Updegraff. as the Duchess
of Devonshire made a stunning tableau
like the famous portrait
Miss Updegraff's aristocratic type found
a most appropriate setting In her pic
turesque Gainsborough costume
Miss Helen Smith was a fascinating
Turkish maiden in brilliant and elao-
crate costume, most becoming to ner
piquant brunette beauty. MISS EtheI
Davis, one of the prettiest girls OF ner
set. never looked so lovely as last night,
when she represented Janice Meredith
She wore a pink and white pompadour
gown and fichu and her hair was ar
ranged with a curl and a rose, la
Meredith.
Mrs. Margaret Wiggin, whose magnih-
cent white hair would naturally suggest
her for the role, was Martha Washing
ton and Miss Dolly Curtis was statu-
esque and strikingly handsome Column
