for an informal musical tonight at heI
home in Fillmore street, mpliment-
airy to Mrs Chase Doster, who is visit
|. ing Captain DoSter'S parents, Judge
and Mrs. Frank Doster. Mrs. Doster
will sing, and the number of guests
will be limited to about 20. On &C
count of the extreme warm weather
and the fact that a great many of the
musical people have been out of town
during the summer, no large musical
affairs have been given for Mrs. Dos
ter, but few of her friends have
been fortunate in hearing her at a
number of some informal gatherings,
from time to time during her visit
here.
Mrs. Doster has soprano voice of
great range and dramatic quality. She
received most of her education abroad,
ed great deal as the wife of an
army officer, and has but recently re-
turned from the Philippines

Campbell, and it will be celebrated at

The wedding of Miss Elizabeth
Johnson of Connellsburg, Pa, and DR..
Edward Reisner took place Thursday,
at the home of the bride. DR.. Reisner
is at the head of the department of
philosophy and education in Wash
burn college, and he and his bride will

Mr.. w. L. Trump is home from
two months trip through Europe. His
trip included visits to most of the i'm
portant cities of England and the Con-
tinent, and, of course, a look through
the shops in all the fashion centers.
And how is fair femininity to be
clothed this season. he was asked.
"Gorgeously"' he said, lin the most
beautiful rich colors with lots of life.
Amethyst, green and lots of plaid will
be worn. The materials are soft to
suit the clinging styles. Split skirts?
Yes, split, but not at the side. They
must be open in 'front.' and a deep frill
of lace finishes the aperture. Side
openings in the skirts are quite passe
don't see them on we'll dressed wo-
men any more. The skirts are long,
very long. A few Americans abroad
wear short skirts. but they look
gawky."
How about the real Parisians-do
they wear the extreme styles adopted
here?''
Indeed they do. At the review of
the French national troops in Paris
said Mr.. Trump, Il saw the most ex-
traordinary costumes. 1t was a morn
ing affair, and the fashionable
people were all there, wearing
clothes as elaborate as New York
people wear in the evening. 1t
was the same thing at the races in
London. BY the way, 1 saw King
George and King Alphonso there-I sat
not more than five feet from them dur
ing the lunch hour. Both insignificant
looking fellows" he added, irreverent-
ly dlspatchIng the subject of royalty.
Il went into q shop in Dresden" he
continued, intending to buy some
handsome Iaces. 1t was a little after
twelve O'Clock, and the store was al
most deserted. l told man at one
of the counters what 1 wanted, and he
handed me a placard printed in English
to the effect that the store was closed
from twelve till two, which was the
lunch time. Where 1 come FROM the
shopper told him. we get up at mid
night to sell a customer a spool of
thread" But the fellow was a Dutch
man and -ldn't get it.
How do the London shops compare
with ours?' he was asked.
They're sloppy. They have waists !
lying around on counters and rumpIed |
up in boxes that they sell for $25 each. |
In all the fashionable shops there |
are lots of futurist and cubist models. |
and those styles are going to continue |
good
Apropos of the cubist touch in dress |
Kipling has felt flash of his old fire, |
and has gone off at the high speed of !
his Banjo Song, in his verse on the |
cubist art. which is:
On an old symbolic staircase
Looking forty ways at once.
There's a Cubist Nude descending
With the queerest sort of stunts. |
For the staircase is a-falling,
And the Noodle seems to say,
Tho you may hear my soul a-calling |
You can't see me, anyway"
oh, this Symbol balderdash,
And this Post-Impresion trash
Can't you see their paint a-chuckin' |
in u hotchy-potchy splash?
Where the motives bold and brash
OF the Cubist painters clash.
And the Nude descends like thunder
down a staircase gone to smash!
