Mere man doesn't count for much
at the afternoon whist clubs, except
as a family disagreeable sub-cor-
scious reminder that one must get
home in time for dinner or suffer un-
pleasant consequences, but the Fell
city Whist club members make up 10
their husbands once year and put
them in good humor for another
twelve onths by giving a dinner IN
their honor. Last night the members
of the club gave their 1908 dinner at
the home of Judge and Mrs Chap-
peile z. Foote in Governors square,
and it was one of the prettiest and
most enjoyable of the st. Valentine
day functions. There is no more ar
! tistic room in Topeka than the Dutcn
dining room at Judge Foote'S house
1t is unusually large and admirably
planned, finished and furnished IN
Flemish oak and decorated in red and
looking windows. Last night for the
Felicity club dinner it was made ao-
ditionally attractive by festoons OF
red paper hearts and many red can
dies. The festoons of hearts extend
ed from the chandelier over the ia
BILE to sidelights in the corners of the
rooms and were caught from beam 20
beam of the ceiling. There were
three long tables lighted by red can
dies and with red heart place cards at
the covers. Thirty-two were seated,
after partners had been found by
matching halves of comic valentines
The women were given the verses and
the men the pictures Beside his
name card each man found Valen-
tine envelope containing gaily color
ed note paper on which was demand
ed that he write Valentine verse or
a love letter and these were dfstr1but-
ed at random among the women who
have been married long enough, as
said, to appreciate a love letter. At
the close of the dinner a program of
clever Valentine toasts were given. |

of a new girl they say the only good

OF the many entertainments in Tope-
ka to mark the anniversary of st. Val
entine, the largest and most important
was the reception given by Mrs. Frank
M. Bonebrake, Mrs. J. w. F. Hughes
and Mrs.A. A. Weiskirch at the home of
the former. The house was beautifully
decorated and all the sentimental SYM
bols of the day were In evidence. Red
and green was the color scheme, and
a charming effect was achieved by a
lavish use of Alabama smilax, red roses
and carnations, festoon of red paper
hearts, and crimson lights. In contrast
to the rather bleak and snowy day out
side the interior of the house with cur
tains drawn and the effective glamour
of artificial lighting and the additions
of flowers, greenery, music and hand
