Her student life in Baltimore, the home of her mother's people, has been embellished with social gayeties, which have not, however, dimmed the ardor of her ambition nor interfered with her success as a student.

R. S. Herrick, and the granddaughter of Mr. J. P.

Davis of Topeka. Miss Herrick has been identified with many of the activities of university life, and has had a leading 1 part in college affairs since her entrance at her freshman year. She has specialized in modern languages, in preparation for the work of teaching French and Spanish. She is a popular mem ber of the Pi Beta Phi sorority, and she has been made a member of two honorary fraternities, the membership in which is earned by good scholarship. She was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and this year to Pi Gamma Sigma.

For some time she was presi dent of the French Circle, and during one year of her university course she was Pan-Hellenic president. She was also an officer in the Student Council, a body of students vested with certain authority in the self-government sys tem in the schools. In addition her numerous other duties, she was made a member of the Y. W. C.

A. cabinet, a position involving a great deal of work, especially during the past year when the organization took up the "big sister" movement. As a crowning honor, and the one perhaps most prized by those fortunate enough to gain it. Miss Herrick was chosen as a member of the Torch society. Out of each junior class nine members are chosen by the faculty to be the "Torches" of the graduating class of the following year.

Each teacher recommends certain pupils, whose names are all considered, and nine of them finally chosen. The choice is deter- Miss Genevieve Herrick, a Graduate of Kansas University This Year. mined not only by the grades made, but also by the part taken by the candidates in various school enterprises. Each student selected for the honor is told of it at the close of the junior year, but that knowledge is kept a secret until the end of the following year. At the May fete held on the beautiful campus of the university last week, the procession of students was led by the.

members of this honorary group or students, each bearing a torch. Miss Herrick attended grade schools in Topeka when she was a little girl. She then went to Kansas City, where she was a student in the Westport high school, finishing with honors. A' Topeka artist lately represented in a New York exhibit is Mrs. H.

H. Wardin, formerly Miss Frances Mitchell. The exhibit was given by the McDowell club of New York, each of the four groups of the club having space in the exhibit. Mrs. Wardin is a member of one of the groups, and 21 of her pictures were hung in the gallery.

All of the work she showed in the exhibit was pastel, though she works in oils as well. The collection included a view of Fourth avenue in New York; an interior scene of a book stall and picture store, in which appeared the figures of two women, among the simple surroundings of the place. Another of the pictures was called "A Street Corner," and it showed a man and a woman walking along a dimly lighted highway. The shapes were indistinct and were vaguely lighted from a flickering street lamp in the rear of the picture. The picture is one that is full of suggestion in the half light of its outlines.

A night scene is one painted from the window of the artist's room overlooking a part of the city of New York. Another of the pictures is "The Bath," and shows a baby in its mother's arms, near a table, where its daily washing has Just been completed. Mrs. Wardin's work shows a leaning toward the impressionistic style of art. Her sense of color and the striking color combinations that she achieves are strong characteristics of her painting.

She has individuality and the ability to express a mood through the medium of the canvas and brush. In addition, she brings a great deal of general intelligence to her work that gives it something of definiteness of meaning as well as sentir-ient. She began studying when she was a young girl, in the high school, and about four years ago she went to New York and studied in the Henri School of Art. Another of the artists represented in the exhibit was Mrs. Richards, who used to be Miss Gertrude Lundborg who taught in the Topeka high school Mrs.

Richards and her husband are both artists, and have a studio on Staten Island. Marjorie Organ, who is now Mr. Henri's wife, also had some pictures in the exhibit. John Sloan, well known in the realm of art, had some pictures of Isadora Duncan on exhibit. She is a personal friend of the Henri's, and pupils of the school have studied her in her dancing recitals.

George W. Bellows, who has illustrated some articles on Billy Sunday in the Cosmopolitan Magazine recently, was also one of the exhibitors. Miss Ethelyn Harrison is spending the summer in California. Thursday evening she gave a concert in the Shakespeare club house, Los Angeles, presenting Mrs. Henley Bussing, soprano, and Mr.

George Schoenefeld, who plays the harpsichord. The concert was a novel one. Special interest was lent to the occasion by the use of the old time instrument, the harpsichord, which was crowded out of use more than a century ago by the piano. The history of the harpsichord is probably the most romantic of all surviving musical instruments. It goes back centuries in European civilization and is shadowed with memorable and often tragic events.

The lives of many of the great musicians of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries centered around the harpsichord. The instrument has two keyboards of five octaves each, and six pedals that control three systems and four sets of "jacks." The songs for the concert by Mrs. Bussing were all of the fifteenth, sixteenth or seventeenth century composition. Both the singer and Mr. Schoenefeld wore costumes of the same period as the music they gave.

ine musical people or camornia are deeply interested in the meeting cf the National Federation of Music Clubs to be held in June. The 000 prize opera. "Fairyland." by Ho ratio Parker and Brian Hooker, will be given at the biennial. Miss Harrison is now living at "The Rampart," Pasadena. The people who insist on inserting a man title into his wife name.

have been outdone. Some friends of the various Jones families in Topeka, in burlesque of the titles Mrs. Judge Soandso, Mrs. Mayor Whatsername, or Mrs. Dr.

Tweedledum, distinguished their Jones friends, as Mrs. Acme Paint Jones, Mrs. School Board Jones, Mrs. Unitarian Jones, Mrs. Preacher Jones, etc.

Special services will be held tomor row morning at 11 o'clock at Grace I Catnedral. The cantata Rebekah will be sung. Miss Nell Kouns, Glen wood Jones and Herman Springer are the soloists and they will be assisted by a chorus of twenty-five voices.

Dr. and Mrs. Benjamin F. Young will be in tne receiving line with the guests of honor. Dr.

Loveland was formerly pastor of the First Methodist church in Topeka. Mr. and Mrs. Howard N. Rhodes entertained a few guests- informally Friday night, complimentary to Miss Agda Hassing, who will be married in the early part of June, to Mr.

Charles Menninger. The guests were some of the people from the treasurer's office of the Santa Fe. Mr. Meaninger is a nephew of Dr. C.

F. Menninger. He came to Topeka from Ohio, and is now mployed by the Santa Fe, in the treasury department. The Classical club of the high school gave a Roman banquet in the new gymnasium of the high school. Members of Latin classes in the high school, who have finished one year of Latin, are eligible to membership, and the large number who have united with the club is evidence that the study of the classics is not on the wane in T.

H. S. at least, and that the study of the ancient tongue of the Caesars is far from a "dead one." The details of the entertainment were worked out by Miss Margaret Whittemore. chairman of the committee in charge of the affair, and the plan for serving was in charge of Mr. Howard Naylor.

In the hall was a copy of I he old dog of the Pompeiian ruins, with the inscription "Cave i Canem," "Beware the dog." Thirteen of the young men of the club acted the part of slaves, a necessary concommitant of a Roman feast. The slaves were dressed in the short tunics of various colors. They served at the tables and opened the door for the guests, giving the warning to enter with the right foot first for the sake of good luck. The slaves for the evening were: Howard Naylor, George whitcomb, Sydney Moore, Eugene Rouse, Torrence Curry, Gerald Tas -ker, Leroy Anderson, John Sutherin, George Greenwood, Byron Boone, Preston Dunham, Robert Hale and Lewis Taylor. The incoming and outgoing officers ate from a U-shaped table, retaining on coucnes instead of sitting at the table.

The retiring officers are: Miss Helen Whitteker, president; Mr. Karl Rankin, secretary; Claire Menninger, advertising manager. Mr. Menninger was chosen as the new president; Miss Dorothy Bair, vice president; Mr. Eldon Shoup, secretary; Mr.

Cleatis Pollom. advertising manager. At the opening of the banquet, the president offered the Roman oblation of meal and cakes to the gods, in the Latin ceremony; then the slaves Do you keep on writing business letters with a pen?

The menu consisted of articles of food that graced many a Roman banquet table, beginning with eggs, lettuce, cold meat, asparagus, bread, olives and honey, and for wine, grape juice was substituted. Then there were sweets, raisins, cheese and apples. To the noble Roman, "from eggs to apples," meant a feast complete.

After dinner the president made a short address in Latin, with the barbarian translation, and the response by the new president was made in the same way. Between the courses of the dinner, Ihe girls, in Pompeiian costume, danced some ancient dances. The officers all wore Roman costume. After dinner the company sang two old Latin songs. A stuffed parrot in a cage above a Latin inscription to the effect that Polly pined for a cracker, adorned the room.

About a hundred students "attended the party and Mrs. L. J. Embleton, the club director, was a guest. The party was the first of its kind that has ever been given by the high school people.
