George Kingsley was the victim of a joke a few days ago. He ordered tripe at the restaurant, but when the dish was brought to him he took the advice of Martindale and put sugar on it, thinking it was fritters. Kingsley had a vague idea that tripe was some sort of fancy way of cooking birds.

A CHARMING AFFAIR.
The Ladies of the I. Y. L. club gave a well Dancing Party at F.A.A.hall.
The I. Y. L. young ladies gave a very pretty dancing party in F. A. A. hall last evening at which fifty-three couples enjoyed the hospitalities of the club. The I. Y. L. is a club of twenty young ladies who do not claim membership in the fraternities. It has been supposed that the fraternities clearly out classed the barbs in parties and social functions, but the party of Friday evening was a most agreeable surprise, for it was one of the prettiest of the year. All the decorations, which were very elaborate, were Japanese. The guests on arriving were made welcome by Misses. Effie Loader, Fannie Kelly, and Pauline Lewelling.
Light refreshment were served during the evening. The excellent music, the tasteful decorations and the snug te-te-ta-ta corners all helped to make the evening a most pleasant one, and it was not until the "wee smae" hours of the morning that the guests ceased the Terpsichorean revelries. The following were the guests in attendance: Misses Lillian Vincent, Clay Center; Grace Curtis, Daisy Sampson, Edith Brewer and Minnie March, Topeka; Florence Hoge, Olathe; Elmore, Norton; Hattie Williams, Cameron Mo., and Messrs. Chas. Hoge, Olathe and Wm. Krehbiel, Newton.

Wednesday afternoon, at her home on Ohio street, Miss Allie Mason entertained about sixty of her young lady friends. The parlors presented an almost homelike appearance with their tasty decorations of house and potted flowers.
After an elaborate luncheon the guests were taught "The Flower Love Story," a new and rather unique phase of the old quotation. This Miss Louise Towne carried off the honors and received the prize, a bunch of coronations.
Miss Mason has always been regarded as a most charming entertainer and her last effort has not lost her that enviable reputation.
