The elite of Topeka society APP
peared Saturday afternoon at a tea
given by one of the popular young
matrons, Mrs. Paul Walker. The af-
fair was the first large party that Mrs.
Walker has given since her maria ge,
though her house has been opened for
numerous small social functions. The
party was one of the really successful
social events, not only because the
hostess uses taste and discrimination
in the detail arrangement of party
giving, but also because her attitude
of friendliness has a quality of Eenu-
inc sincerity that the formalities of So
cial life do not dim nor cover.
Receiving with Mrs. Walker were
her mother, Mrs. o. S. Morrow, and
her mother-in-law, Mrs. A. D. Walker
of Holton. The hostess wore a Dres-
den silk gown, with cream back
ground, figured in bouquets of soft
pink. The skirt was full, and below
the pleated short Owe rskirt of the ma
terial was disclosed a wide band of
lace. The yoke, skirt and sleeves
We're edged with brown fur. She car
ried a bouquet of old fashioned flow
ers sweet alyssum, anemones, little
chrysanthemums and Ward roses.
Mrs. Morrow was gowned in black
and white taffeta in the fashionable
wide stripes, finished with bands of
black velvet. She wore over the
shoulders a scarf of black tuIle and
lace She carried a bouquet of red
roses and fern, on a foundation of red.
Mrs. A. d. Walker YVES gowned in lace.
The foundation of the gown was blue
satin, and was yelled with black lace
and chiffon. Her bouquet was of
roses and ferns.
The house was handsomely decor
ated, sunburst roses and yellow
hrySanthemumS predominating i'll
the scheme of adornment. In the re-
ceiVing room, clusters of large chrys--
anthenumS stood in Dresden vases on
the mantel, and bouquets of the same
flowers were used on the piano. The
dining room offered some new fea-
lures in decorative skill III the CEN
ter of the table was q piece of hand
some black lace, and on it was placed
a wide, low, crystal bowl of Sunburst
roses. Outlining the bowl and the lace
mat were strands CT ribbon in sun
burst shade. The electroIier above the
table was shaded in satin of black
and white stripes, and edged with
fringe, and above it were little white
geese and butterflies. On the plate
rail were sunburst roses and fern The
