Although Lent wasn't observed to
hurt in Topeka and there were many
informal little dances during the holy
season, this was the first big party for
seven weeks, and everybody seemed to
enjoy it. Mr.. Ray Halls orchestra of
six pieces played an Incompatible pro-
gramme ranging from I'm Afraid to
Go Home in the Dark to the Ode to
the Evening Star and Schubert's Sere-
made, perfectly good waltz which you
could jes' die a-dancin'. There were a
good many visitors and the girls were
especially excited about Perfectly
grand leftenant in the engineers, Mr..
Glen Edgerton, whose people live at
Manhattan and who has just been
graduated from West Point with the
highest honors in his class. Mr..
Edgerton is spending a short furlough
before he is assigned to duty in Man
haitian and was in Topeka to visit Mr..
and Mrs. James p. Rowley. He took
Mrs. Rowley's daughter, Miss Floyd

generous with him and let all the
other girls meet him. Mrs. ]. w. Burt

married and gone now and this is her
hour and she is the sort of girl to
make the most of it. She is gradu-
ate of Monticello-just out of school
last year-young. pretty and chic, and
was much admired last night in pink
lowered crepe de chine gown over tat
feta. Miss Helen Quigley of Sterling
was another of the visiting bellies. Miss
Quigley, who frequently visits in To-
