! O~NA
Throngs of people passed and re-
passed the corner of Ninth and Hdr-
rison last evening, and most of rhcm
lertered the E. H. Crosby home. One
of the assisting girls declared, Il
1 don't see how anyone can go by and
not come in The wide,e lighted We
randa was most attractive, and GER
! tainly hinted at what the house con-
| tanned. Great vases overflowing with
| flowers stood at the steps by the door
! and on either side of the entrance. A
cascade of Japanese lilies fell from
the balcony, giving an effect of hang
/ ing wiStaria that was charming. On
one side of the colonial hall is the
reception room, where Mr.. and Mrs
Crosby received the guests, who We're
! introduced by Mr.. J. r. Burrow.
There was no long receiving line, but
the wives of the Topeka bankers as
sisted throughout the rooms and in
troduced themselves to the out-of-
town guests. Across the hall in the
dining room Miss Helen Louise Cros-
by, Miss Mildred Guild and Miss Alice
Larimer served punch; a large bowl
with a flaming riot of roses and tulle
bows stood on the table. In the
breakfast room,s which is green and
tan, were dainty baskets of pink and
white peonies. Many handsome cos
tunes were exhibition, especially
E. H. Crosby and Mrs. Frank Bur
row, who, with Miss Margaret Kali
baugh, an exceedingly attractive girl,
of Baltimore, Md, is a guest at the
J. r. Burrow home. The WaShburn
orchestra played in the long ball room
on the third floor, Dean Whitehouse
presiding at the piano. Miss Phipps
played first violin and the other five
parts were splendidly taken by stu
dents of the college. Ices were served
on nv hot
Miss Isabel Mills. Miss Helen Ames,
Miss Laura Southwick and Miss Clyde
Bonebrake. The Crosby home is
ideal for an affair of this sort.
There are choice pictures and rugs,
and rare bits of furniture. The whole
house is furnished with such exquisite
care that it is a joy to go through it.
Last night was the first time the
house has been opened for a formal
function, and the guests thoroughly
enjoyed the privilege of being enter
tanned in it.
Despite the facts that the season at
the Grand closed last night and that |
home included most of the people in |
town, the opening of the Country club |
was we'll attended. Jap lanterns
were swinging, American flags were |
flying, and automobiles chugging up !
the hill. The club was immaculate, |
cleaning and the members were ap- |
parently glad to be there again. Ray
Halls orchestra furnished the music |
during dinner and for dancing after |
nine. All the tables on the veranda |
were filled and many in the dining |
room. Mrs. F. K. GOSS of Montpelier,
VT, Mrs w. N. West, Mr.. and Mrs.
Clifton Heaton, Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene
S. Quinton and Mr.. Herbert L. Arm
strong were seated at one table; Mr..
