Such a lovely time was had at the
subscription dance at the Country club
last night that the entire party lost
track of the flight of time and missed
the last car in. The man who made
arrangements for the party has so
much on his mind (besides his hair)
that he forgot to see about having the
last car wait until after the dance and
while the guests were still disporting
themselves gaily at the club house
the Peoples Electric Motor at the
foot of the hill left for town. There
was general CONSERVATION when the
worst was known, for the mean old
hack trust fixes the price for a car
riage to the Country club at five dol
lars and goodness knows, if most of
the Society Leaders had five dollars
they'd buy Mercedes touring cars or a
brougham and pair, at least, and
turn up their noses at hired cabs and
street cars. But fortunately there
were some plutocrats present. Mr..
and Mrs. w. S. McClintock had their
automobile and there was a wealthy
commuter from Highland Park with
horse and runabout. He had to take
three girls home and of course he just
hated thati So all the girls had a ride
home and most Of the men spent the
night at the club although if they
had walked to town it wouldn't have
been any more of hike than two
cluded Mr.. and Mrs. w C. McClin-
took, Mr.. and Mrs. William E.
Drechsel. Mrs. John Baird Nicholson,
Mr.. and Mrs. George w. Snyder. Miss
Helen Smith and Mr.. Thomas l..
King. Miss Eva Smith and Mr. Lew
Graham, Miss Isabel Smith and Mr..
Bert Reid. Miss Tide Robenson and
Mr.. Joe Wilson, Miss Ethel Davis and
Mr.. Art Wolf, Miss Frances Connell
and Mr.. Edwin Curry. Miss Gala Cut
tell and Mr.. Charles Guibor, Miss
Maud Grimes and Mr.. Monte Kistler
This is to warn a Topeka chap who
went away to take a position and
told Her to Be True that 1t begins
to look like another case of absence
makes the heart grow fonder of the
rival who is on the ground.
Miss Helen Otis will entertain the
