Has Literary Evening

One of the pleasantest gatherings
of the families of Edgewater Heights
was held on Tuesday evening at the
home of Miss Winterburn and Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. S. B. Dana. A unique
feature of the occasion was the rep
resentation by each of the guests of a
particular book by means of some
distinguishing mark on their person.
A great amount of amusement and
interest in the various literary per-
sonifications was created. The prize
for the greatest number of correct
guesses was won by the Misses Ella
Louise and Mildred McClave. Coun-
Gilman Sammis captured the "booby"
prize.
Charming violin selections were
rendered by Miss Dorothy Donaldson
accompanied by Miss Helen Donald
son at the piano. Mr.. Leveridge en-
tertained greatly with his readings
from Dickens. Delicious fruit punch
and cake were served.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
Warren E. Sammis, Mrs. Marshall F.
Montgomery, Mrs. George S. Drew

ments and a top coat. Originally the
coat suit was intended only for street
garment, but in the hustle from one
place to another, when a woman often
dresses in the morning for the whole
of the day and evening, they have
come to be regarded as good enough,
with fancy blouses for many differ
ent uses. Hence, they have sold like
peanuts at the circus.
There are many women in Topeka
who scarcely ever wear real party
frock at afternoon affairs, but almost
always appear in a tailored, or semi
tailored suit, with fancy blouse, show
ing thereby their sense in wearing
what they know is becoming; and at
the same time making sure that they
are not guilty of the bad taste of be-
ing over-dressed.
