Mr.. and Mrs. Byron H Davis an
nounce the approaching marriage of
their daughter Ethel to Mr.. Ilif w.
Felix. The wedding will take place at
their house. 935 Fillmore street, We'd
nesday, January 20, in the evening and
the invitations, which will be issued
during the holidays. Will be limited to
relatives and close friends of the two
families. The announcement is of
especial interest, for although the en-
gagement has been an open secret for
a number of weeks, since 1t was ad-
mitted informally to a few intimate
Miss Fay Quinton, it was generally
understood that the wedding would
not take place before spring. MISS
Davis and Mr.. Felix viii receive the
genuine and hearty fluctuations of an
Unusually large number of friends
upon their approaching marriage, for
no recent engagement has met with
the sincere approval of so many peo-
ME. Although Mr. Felix is compara-
lively a new man in Topeka, having
lived here only about four years, he IS
Immensely popular and greatly ad-
mired He is the son of Mr.. and Mrs
Oscar Felix of WestIawn and the
name is well known, commercially,
throughout Kansas, where Mr.. Felix
and his sons own and operate num-
Der of retail mercantile establishments.
Topeka business.
Miss Davis has been a reigning ia
vorite in the younger set since her
coming out and it has been said that
her engagement was a blow to the
hopes of more disappointed suitors
than any similar announcement IN To-
peka in her day. Certain it is that
she has enjoyed an unusual degree OF
popularity in many circles and among
people of all ages and is an uncom-
monty winsome, Hkable and attrac-
tive girl.
There are two other engagements in
the Helianthus set which, while not
vet formally announced, are adrnltted
by the principals, who are receiving the
CONGRATULATIONS of their FRIENDS. Every
mention of the engagement of Miss
Davis and Mr.. Felix suggests that OF
Miss Fay Quinton and Mr.. Fred DAVIS
for the quartette has been inseparable
for months and Miss QuintOn and Miss
Davis have been chums since child
hood. Miss Quinton is the second
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs A B. Quln-
ton and is one of the prettiest girls IN
town as we'll as one of the most
"capabIe Mr. Davis is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. E. F. Davis of Concordia and
is a travelling accountant for the Santa
Fe He is remarkably handsome
what the girls describe as a perfect
Christv type" The date of this we'd
ding is still very indefinite and it will
probably not take place before year:
The third engagement is that OF
Miss AlIabeIle Troutman, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs James A. Troutman. and
DR. Merrill Mills, son of Mr.. w. W.
Mills Miss Troutman and Dr. Mills
had not intended to announce their en-
gagement even informally for some
time because sthe latter is still an
inferno in Roosevelt hospital. New
York, and the marriage will not take
place at all soon. But the secret got
out and there was no use denying 1t
tons and good wishes have been
thrust upon these two young people
almost before they were ready to re-
ceive them. Miss Troutman is a
graduate of Hardin college, Mexico,
Mo, and of Washburn. both in the
school of arts and the department. OF
piano in the school of fine arts, and
has been for two or three years an
assistant teacher of piano at the col
1ege. She is a member of the Sigma
Delta Psi sorority of Washburn ana
was one of its founders You can hear
more pleasant things said about Miss
Troutman than almost any girl in
town, fer besides talent and cleverness
she counts among her gifts an unusual
type of beauty and alluring personal
charm. DR.. Mills, who began his col
lege education at WaShburn and COM
pleted it at the College of Physicians
and Surgeons of Columbia university,
son and an uncommonly fine and
promising young chap. He will return
from New York next week to spend
the holidays in Topeka.
