On the following day a dance was held at her home, Apsley Lodge in Pittville Circus,
to mark her entry into Cheltenham society (click to enlarge the image)

This was Wynnifred's dance card. Some of her partners were young men from the Pittville area; Mr Hicks Beach was presumably related to Sir Michael Hicks Beach who was Chancellor of the Exchequer at the time.

A selection of balls, dances, and dinners from 1898: the New Club Ball had been held for the previous twenty years
at the Assembly Rooms, and was said to be a highlight of the social season; the Corbetts were relatives Wynnifred used to visit from time to time.

A holiday to the Pyrenees in 1899. Cycling was embraced with enthusiasm by Wynnifred and her friends.

The last balls and dances of the 1898/9 winter season. The Cotswold Hunt Ball brought the season to an end,
and 1899 was claimed to be "the best on record". Four of the Ellis family attended.
