| The coming out party for Miss Ruth
| Wilson, given by her mother, Mrs
Anna Wilson, was a pretty and prom
! Using affair, and everything about 1t
was CONNIE il faut, and not too elab-
| crate for young debutante. Her gown
| was white charmeuse, the bodice made
with round neck and short sleeves and
the skirt WHICH just cl0dTSd the AOOA'
was plated and trimmed with chif-
fon panniers. About her were the
flowers that were the presentation gifts
of her friends. Standing in line with
her to receive the guests were: Her
mother, who was gowned in lavender
satin, and her two sisters, Mrs. Ever
EFT Dallas, of San Antonio, Tex, and
Miss Dorothy Wilson. Mrs. Dallas
wore yellow satin, and Miss Wilson'S
gown was light blue crepe with coral
trimming. Miss Wilson is one OF the
popular girls preceding the debutante
group, and Miss Ruth ranks among
the most attractive of the newly ad-
mitted and conventionally introduced
members of the exclusive social cir
Gle.

hall. and departing from the custom
that has held sway the past Few sea-
sons in Topeka, whereby the buds have
been presented at afternoon teas the

of the club were decorated with pink
and white sweet peas and baskets OF
flowers stood on quartette tables IN the
dining room leading from the DALI
room.

of the young people of Miss Wilson's
set, a good many of the young mar
