One of the most interesting social that has been give in the city spring was he one given by Mrs. L. 1ierson Saturday afternoon ai beautiful home 1620 University for the bridess to he who are members of the Friends University fiu ally.

It was interesting in many ways; first because the honor guests are boon become brides there is ai-ways that air of interest about brides I or to le brides different from any thing else. Then the hostess in this case is one of the most interesting and cultured women imaginable. Then the home in which the pretty affair was given Is especially interesting and exquisite in all its appointments. Recently Dr. and Mrs.

Pierson have redecorated the interior of their home. The beautiful shades in the walls draperies and rugs blend beautifully, the pictures, the china and other furnishings many of them have inter-esitng bits of history connected with them. On this special Saturday afternoon Mrs. Pierson had placed about tlie rooms in an artistic way vaces of pink roses and bowls of white sweet peas adding much to the beauty of the scene. This same color scheme of pink and white was carried out in the very dainty two course buffett lunch and by the way, and other interesting features was the happy coincidence of Mrs, Pierson's sister, Mrs.

Johnson, of Whittier, having sent, just the day before some very fine head lettuce by parcel post. In the first course the chicken salad was served on this crisp Calif, lettuce. The ladies present spoke admiringly of wonderful beauty of the lettuce. In the second course this charming hostess served Ice crer.m in the guise of a pink rose the rose being served on natural rose leaves. One of the diversions of the afternoon was the heming of pink and white cheese cloth dusters for the brides to be.

H. Faxon, Industrial and Publicity Commissioner, Wichita Business Association. In view of the supremacy of Wichita as a manufacturing and distributing center, there is no more significant or appropriate action of the Wichita Business association than arranging annually a trade extension trip into Wichita territory. Wichita territory, as a general term, means anywhere that Wichita-made and Wichita-jobbed goods may go.

As an actuality, it means vithin a radius of 100 miles or so. Wichita territory includes south-central and western Kansas, northern Oklahoma, the Panhandle of Texas, New' Mexico and eastern Colorado. This territory is reached by six lines of railroad, running in 15 different directions. The Arkansas Valley Interurban railroad, which now has 37 miles and is rapidly preparing to extend, is also becoming an important factor in distribution of Wichita goods. Trade extension trips are tike expositions.

They are the Timekeepers of Progress. They mark time; they record the advancement; they serve to whip up the laggard and spur on the industrious. They invade new realms and discover new fields for cultivation. Wichita for the past several years has been in the habit of running annual trade excursions into various portions of the territory. This year will be the eighth.

These trade excursions for the past two years have been under the auspices of the Wichita Business association, through its publicity bureau, which is charged with the duties of exploitation work of all kinds, conventions advertising, etc. A trade excursion is the highest kind of advertising. It means familiarizing the territory with the numerous advantages of Wichita and the trade and social possibilities that may exist through a cultivation of good fellowship. This year's trade excursion will have a special train consisting of several Pullman cars, a tourist sleeping car, a diner, baggage car, and one coach for the day meetings. It will not be luxurious, but it will be more than comfortable.

A week is a long time to be out, working all the while, with little relaxation, and the comfort of the worker must be maintained. Nearly 100 Wichitans, representing different lines of enterprises here in town, will make up the personnel of the trip. In many cases these will be heads of institutions, in ottier cases assistants, heads of departments, and traveling men. The train will also carry a band, a quartet, and officials of railways. The baggage car will be filled with advertising matter, including newspapers, telling Wichita stories, handsome souvenir advertising booklets, Buff Orpington Pullets One Dollar Up EGGS $5.00 per hundred $1.00 Single Setting COME AND SEE THEM Ed.
