T0PEI(AS0CIETY.
First Progressive Luncheon of
Season Given.
Complimentary to 3Iiss Louise
AVillis, of Mexico.
THE CLUB MEETINGS.
Work of the Season is Xow
Under Way.
Notes of a Social and Personal
Nature.
Topeka's first progressive luncheon
was given today by nine of the younger
society girls complimentary to Miss
Iouise Willis of the City of Mexico. It
was a unique as well as an enjoyable
affair.
There were as many courses as there
were girls giving the luncheon, and one
course was eaten at each house. The
menu was as follows: Soup, fish, sher
bet, a meat course, salad, cream and
cake, coffee and bon bons. At some
places the guests were seated at one ta
ble, at others small ones were used, but
at all the decorations and arrangements
were as pretty and the serving as dainty
as though one hostess, and a much older
one Lad charge of it all.
Besides the guest of honor the young
ladies were: Miss Helen Quinton, Miss
Fay Quinton. Miss Reita fpdegraff .Miss
Klla Davis, Miss Jessie Myers.Miss Ixu
Ise Allison. Miss Grace Frost. Miss Lou
ise Wood and Miss Bertha BeaL
The Portia Club.
Thf regular meeting of the Portia
club was held Thursday afternoon at
the-home of the president, Mrs. :. F.
Worley and an interesting programme
given. Last year the plan of serving re
freshments at the club meetings was
adopted and will be carried out this
jear as well. It has heretofore been
the custom to have an annual banquet
to which the husbands of the members
were invited, but this season in addition
to this there will be four evening meet
ings at which the husbands will be
quests. The next meeting of the club
will be at the home of Mra. J. c. Alli
son in two weeks.
The Spalding Club.
The first regular meeting of the Spald
ing Reading Circle this season was held
last Monday evening at the home of the
