Wednesday night was appointed as
Society Night at the automobile
show, but Society seemed little
undecided about accepting the honor;
for society must be wooed very gently.
and an abrupt announcement that it is
invited to attend a show on u special
night has a. startling element in it. So
ciety must have time to see if that is
the method of viewing automobiles in
the cities, or if it leans toward the
small-town way. So Prim Society said
Wear my good clothes down to that
shed and get wheel grease on my gown!
Nosireersirv' Nevertheless. a section of
society was there in its dress up
clothes. and found the auditorium pref
tier and cleaner than it ever was for
a concert or a ball. Many Of the men
wore their dress suits, though browns
and greys were good and the spark
ling new machines with their handsome
ly gowned occupants wearing or carry
ing flowers, made a pretty picture. The
center aisle between the rows of cars.
was used as promenade, and at the
back of the building booths were ar
ranged for the sale of candy punch,
cigars and motor literature. The booth
kept by the Woman Guild of Grace
Cathedral, was presided over last night
by Mrs. Frank Hobart, Mrs T. ].
Myers, Mrs A. w. Lacey, Mrs. c. e.
Foote, Miss Hazel Risteen and Mrs.
Hobart'S attractive guest, Miss Phyllis
Keith, of Port Arthur. Texas. Mrs.
James King, Mrs. W. w. Wikidal and
Miss Ethelyn Harrison had charge of
a booth.

elected twenty-five students to mem
bership One Topeka girl, Mary A.
Grant is among the chosen ones. Miss
relatives here. and Miss Lois Harger, !
of Abilene who has friends in To-
peka. were also in the list. An inter- |
esting fact about the choice OF new
members is the large proportion OF
women elected, the list showing the
names of q women and only men. |
Miss Inez Smith, of Lawrence, one of
the new members, has lately been
elected a member of the scientific
