Six hundred invitations were extend
ed for the reception and dance at the
new Elks club last night and there
are six hundred members of the club
in Topeka. Probably the full count of
twelve hundred might have been taken
last night, for the club house was
crowded during the early hours of the
reception and the ballroom didn't thin
out until after II O'Clock. Every set
in town was represented.
what! going?" someone said to
man who was beating it, about IL
o'clock yep he answered. This
to Turner garden, where it's exclu-
sive.''
But it was a lovely party, no use
talking. and there were more exclama-
tons and additional raving over the
beautiful new club house which is I'M
doubtedly the prettiest in the state.
The rooms were attractively decorated
with palms, roses and NUNS and an
augmented orchestra under Mr.. Ray
Halls direction played a good pro-
gramme for dancing.
