Neither Dana Davis. Mike Murray,
Walter Delfs nor Bert Reid
were Among Those Present at the
HeEanthus subscription dance at Hud-
sons last night but outside of that it
was ali right and unanimously voted
one of the most delightful dances of
the season. Halls orchestra played a
corkin good programme and If Ray
Hall, the leader, is not genius he is
close to 1t. The musical High Brows
declare he is too gifted violinist to
be playing for dancing and that he
ought to be in a symphony orchestra
at least, but the plain plugs who don't
care so much for Art with an upper
case A, but are kind O. fussy about
their waltzes and two steps, say they
are mighty glad he isn't. Mr.. Hall
seems to give the best that is In him
every minute and inspires his men to
equal efforts and he is so Perfectly
Sweet about encores and so handsome
that the girls rave over him.
The dance last night was informal
no decollete gowns and only three
young Midases blew themselves for
glass wagons. There were fewer stays
than usual and, wonders of wonders
at a Helianthus dancet-some of the
girls who arrived late got their pro-
grammes balled up and had to sit
out once-so the Walnut club had oc-
casional informal meetings In the
dressing room. The S. R. should have
the Walnuts had no chapter in To-
peka. i. Two of the most attrac-
tive girls at the dances this winter are
Miss Julia Larimer and Miss Alice
Willard. Miss Larimer graduated from
Wellesley last June and is enjoying
her first season out of school and both
girls have hitherto been associated
principally with the high school and
college sets but are now seen more
and more frequently with the grown
hi o
girls, pretty and chic and entertain
ing and amiable and are having lots
of luck this year. At every dance you
hear the men talking about them in
decidedly complimentary way and they
are asked every place and always have
a little court of admirers Miss Jean
Kassuba, of Milwaukee, who is Miss
Frances Connells guest, is getting
along exceedingly well here and has
been a belle at all the gaieties in the
younger set since the beginning of the
holidays. Visiting girls are proverbial-
1y popular in Topeka and Miss Kas-
suba is one of the best liked who has
given the town treat. The
company last night included Mr.. and
Mrs. John Baird Nicholson, Mr.. and
Mrs. George w. Snyder, Mr.. and Mrs.
