SOCIETY NOTES

FAREWELL PARTY - A very pleasant time was had at the home of Mrs. M. A. Wickes last Thursday evening. The party was in honor of Miss Marguerite who was soon to leave for Chicago to attend the Chicago Musical College. There were about a dozen young people present; music, games and a light two-course supper occupied the time. Miss Wickes is a graduate of the Graceland School of Music and left here, Saturday evening, to complete her post graduate work in Chicago. She was accompanied by her sister, May, who will remain with her and will probably do nursing.
