Congressman and Mrs. Jouett
Shouse, formerly of Kinsley, have
gone to Washington, ID. C., and have
taken house at 1911 r street, North
west. They are going to give their
first formal dinner party in their
Washington home Thursday night.
The Shouses have been in Topeka so
much in the past few years, having
taken a house here for several
months at time during the legisla-
tive sessions, that they seem quite like
home people to their friends in this
town. Mrs. Shouse's brother, Mr.
Charles Edyards, is in New York for
the theatrical season, and expects to
be with the Shouse family off and on
during the winter Mr.. Edwards, VINO
was in Topeka a good deal last winter,
played an engagement at one of the
theaters in Kansas City, and spent the
season there.
Residence in the east will bring Mrs.
Shouse in touch with many of her
friends of her college days at Welles-
ley, and will be perhaps little more
pleasant on that account than it is or
dinarily for the wife of a member
from Kansas.
DR.. Alberta Corbin of the German
department of the State university,
Lawrence, gave a dinner party for the
Student Government council last
week. DR.. COrbin is deeply interested
-: lie feminist movements that be-
first student to enroll in the Kansas
State university on its opening day
fifty years ago.
DR.. Corbin has a large circle of
friends in Topeka. She was an officer
in the Kansas State Equal Suffrage
league, and in the Good Citizenship
league which superseded that organ
ization. She has been an officer of
the Kansas Dinner club, and was in
Topeka to attend its latest meeting
during the teachers convention.

The San Francisco papers are fea-
turing Miss Florence Gardiner of
wichita in a number of stories as the
Youngest hostess at any state building
at the exposition. Since Mrs Effle
Van Tuyl of Leavenworth resigned on
account of illness, the entire respon-
sibility of the Kansas state building
that is the social side of it-has rest
ed upon this Wichita girl, who is fill
ing the position, they say, with con-
siderable grace and poise.
