Social Debaitment. DARAH—A few of the intimate friends of Miss Mamie Darah were very pleasantly entertained at her home on last Saturday evening. Music, cards, etc., furnished the entertainment, and those present spent a very delightful evening. Among the number were Messrs. E. G. Blair, E. B. Fox, F. G. Crowell, Charles Lyons, Ross Wemple; Misses Mamie Tisdale, Jennie Bangs, Carrie Marks and Mabel Wemble. BETA—By invitation of the Betas Saturday evening last, the gentlemen of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity became their guests and spent a most pleasant evening in their hall. After refreshments the hours were beguiled with songs and social merriment. Many expressions of appreciation were given, and at 12 o'clock the Pins departed after three rousing cheers for Beta Theta Pi. The success of this initial reunion was very gratifying to both fraternities, and they promise it shall be repeated often hereafter. The marriage of Miss May Deichmann and Mr. Goldstandt, of Wichtta, which is to be solemnized in this city on the 27th inst., promises to be one of the most fashionable weddings that has ever occurred in this city. Over four hundred invitations have been issued, and many prominent Hebrews are expected from neighboring cities. The ceremony will be performed in Frazer Hall by Rabbi Krauskopf, of Kansas City. Mrs. WEAVER—Wednesday night at Mrs. A. D. Weaver's, Mrs. A. D. Weaver at her home very happily entertained a few select friends in honor of her guest, Miss Helen Morrow, of Great Bend, Mich. The evening was gayly passed in social games, music, and all that goes to pass time pleasantly. Those present were Misses George Gillett, Laura Hynes, May Webster and Angie Logie, Messrs. Lute Lewis, Ben Akers, Herb Bullne, Rob Rankin, Nate McCague. G. A. R. INSTALLATION.-The C. A. R. post Saturday night installed its officers: I. W. Stone, Post Commander; A. H.

Hutchings.—The little folk's dancing club, after a few weeks vacation, began its regular series of weekly amusements Saturday night at Mrs. John Hutchings'. Coming together again after their short rest, no more pleasant session of the series was passed. Mrs. Hutchings as hostess, was voted perfection. The next will be given to night at Mrs. J. D. Bowersock's. The "old people" present were Mr. Bowersock and wife, Mr. Shaum and wife, A. D. Weaver and wife and Miss Helen Morrow, Mr. J. E. Parke and wife, Mrs. Killam, Frank Melluish andMr. Mills.

SCHUBERT QUARTETTE.—One of the most excellent musical treats of the season was enjoyed by the people of Lawrence on last Tuesday evening, at the Congregational church. We owe a debt of gratitude to the members of the Congregational church for their successful effort in obtaining for us this musical feast. Quite a large attendance assembled, although a much larger audience was anticipated. Many were doubtless detained on account of the past cold weather. Of the fame of the Schubert Quartette we need not speak. They were assisted by Lena Winter Goetty, soprano, and Miss Georgiella Lay, pianist. The Quartette was welcomed with applause and were called back several times Mr. Jott seemed to be one of the favorites of the club, and was enforced repeatedly. Mrs. Goetty's singing was enjoyed immensely. Mr. Stone (in costume) caused no little amusement for those who enjoy a good laugh. Miss Lay as pianist, was excellent, and her execution is very fine. Every one present seemed to be fascinated, and all were well pleased. We hope that the Schubert Quartette may visit Lawrence again A correspondent from Topeka to the Gazette of this city, writes: "Topeka society differs greatly from that of Lawrence. It is broader, freer, more open-handed and open-hearted. A new comer is not regarded with suspicion, and held at arm's length during a long period of probation, to be finally admitted to the charmed circle with apparent reluctance and a procrastination that robs the welcome of its cordiality. The Topekanans pass judgment upon new arrivals with rapidity and tacit. If they are accepted, it is done without embarrassing delay, and, notwithstanding this fact, a mistake is seldom made. This characteristic has given Topeka society an enviable reputation for warmth and grace, which is not, however, won at the expense of selectness nor quality; for no more refinement and tone, in the right meaning of the word, can be found anywhere in the West than in the first circles of Topeka; and the first circles are broad enough, and extensive enough, to give their stamp to the whole fabric; and 'Topeka society' is Topeka's best society, in its respect differing greatly from many Western cities where the select circles of society form so small a portion that it is left for the medicine class to give its imprint to the whole. Among the young or unmarried people this cannot be as truly said. The young society of Topeka lacks the cultivated and educated atmosphere which pervades of Lawrence, and for which we owe a debt of gratitude to the University. There is more flash and fashion, more of the 'society girl' among Topeka's young ladies, and more of the stamp of store and office, and less of that of literature and the professions among the young men." HANDELAND HAYDIN—The Handel and Haydn Society has been revived under the direction of Mr. P. D. Aldrich. Two meetings have been held at which much enthusiasm has been manifested. Many new members have joined, bringing fresh enthusiasm into the society. Students who are singers can hardly have a better opportunity of becoming acquainted with chorus music, which will not only develop their voices, but to a decided degree establish a good taste for music. The next meeting is to be held in G. A.R. hall, on Monday next, at $7 \frac{1}{4} \mathrm{~o'clock}$. The membership fee is only one dollar. Such a society ought to meet with the most hearty support of the students as well as the citizens of Lawrence. The faculty has taken some interest in the matter, and some have joined as active members. The rest can easily lend their influence by becoming honorary members, which includes admission to all concerts and public rehearsals. RECEPTION.—The great social event of the week was the reception tendered to Mr. and Mrs. Burr at the Y. M. C. A. rooms on last Monday night. The affair was an entire surprise to the bride and groom, who were sent for after the company had assembled, on the plea of special committee work. After their arrival, and greetings had been exchanged, the merry company spent an hour in social chat. Mr. O. Tosh then in a neat speech, introduced Dr. Marvin, who, with some pleasing remarks, presented the young couple with two handsome easy chairs, the gift of the Y. M. C. A. boys. Mr. Burr was then called for, and responded in a very appropriate manner. Folding tables were then scattered through the hall, and soon an elegant feast was spread, to which more than ample sample was done. Dan Crew then favored the crowd with some of his best solos, and then the "Amphion Quartette" was called out, and sustained, as usual, its former reputation. At quite a late hour the company dispersed, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Burr a long and happy journey through life. Among those in attendance were Dr. Prentiss and wife Edmund Brown and wife, M. M Manley and wife, J. McEwen and wife, F. O. Marvin and wife, Mrs. Gear, March, Jao. Gillam and wife Jno. Cooper and wife, Mrs. J. W Beard, H. B. Asher and wife, Dr Osmond and wife, W. N.

It never "clinkers," burns to a clean ash, has plenty of heat, and is particularly desirable in keeping a steady temperature for a long time without attention.
