ST. PATRICK'S PARTY.

The social zoo were treated to
the most delightful entertainment
of the season on last Saturday af-
ternoon when Mrs. c. w. Ellis and
Mrs. Jas. P. Dobbs entertained
about fifty ladies at the home OF
Mrs. Dobbs.
The house was beautifully deco.
rated in cut flowers, the library in
ferns with the mantle decorated
with hyacinths, white, blue and
pink. The entertainment consist
ed of music. The program includ-
ed a song by Miss Gay Holmes and
reading by Mrs. R. H. Hall rep
resenting the typical Irish woma n
while Mr.. Rossi of Kiowa with his
harp and our own Mr.. Walstad dis
coursed secret music from an ante
room. There were no games and
the guests were allowed to enjoy
each others company during the
interim. All elegant three co urse
luncheon was served in the long
dining room at an L shaped table
profusely decorated with pink and
white carnations. Each course was
adorned with something typical of
oldllreland, the place cards were
green Shamrocks, the sandwiches
we're cut in shamrock shape, the
salad course was decorated with
tiny green flags bearing the motto,
Erin go bragh, and the ice cream
was nodded to represent a green
shamrock.
Altogether it was as complete an
entertainment as could be given
anywhere. The out of town guests
were Mrs. R. H. Hall of Wichita
and Mrs. E. H. Nixon of Winfield.

Agitation of an occupation tax
has been revived again. There is
considerable sentiment in favor of
a tax of not less than 81 on any
citizen and graduating up accord
ing to ones income and ability to
pay. 1t is pointed out that a
scheme of this kind would put the
city on cash financial basis in a
few years without burdening any
individual to a great extent. The
legality of such an arrangement
might be brought into question
but its promoters think that it
could be framed in such way as
to make it mutual affair and thus
avoid any litigation IN conrt. We're
optimistic always, but we have a
suspicion that the man who can
graduate schedule so that every
person affected would be satisfied
is little more divine than human.

claimed that they were delivered
one less steer and one more calf
than the contract called for, and
they sued for SIS, the difference
between the amounts paid for a
steer and calf. Defendant claimed
that he had delivered as per con-
tract, but the court, after hearing
