your" and then he wondered why his
listener seemed sort of nonplussed.
Speaking of a Topeka woman, a gen
tleman says 'she has wit enough to be
beautiful, and beauty enough to be
witty" and that means a good deal. A
woman must be most charming whose
gentlemen friends will allow her to be
witty at their expense.
Sometimes the young fellow who is
considered as quiet as a lamb turns out
black sheep.
1t is said it is good to be perfect in
something, be it ever SO small How
about being perfect idiot?
Candor may we'll be described as the
knack of saying unpleasant things. The
Town Gossip is candid and lately has
been saying some of his unpleasant
opportunity to say them TO those toward
whom they are directed. Yesterday he

Don't you think the custom which OBJ
tains in Atchison, of which a Topeka
girl who visited there last month tells me
is very jay?"

which custom?"
"Why, when there is to be a party in
Atchison the hostess sends a list of the
invited girls down to the postoffice, Zone
ciety young many and the men just go in
and check off the girls they want to
take"
"They even have them numbered, and
it is said the same fellow always gets

obliging he must be-, Some Topeka boys
don't take even one girl to a party; Can
it be because some greedy fellow takes

Then the T. G. explained that he
meant the girl who was numbered ID
always fell to the same fellow.
But he still insisted on hearing my
opinion of such plan, and If thought

slow to answer, as l was thinking of
something else, the assertion that bright
woman had made to me ten minutes be-
fore, to the effect that all men are spoiled.
She said, "Why, my dear, the men are
all spoiled to deathr'
repeated this to the T. G., and he
said, "Of course they are, and you women
are TO blame for it.
"FOr instance? Well, I have just come

he does daily, from an intelligent, fine

ten years his senior, a box of dollhouse
flowers, accompanied by tender billet

Office and ogles him by the hour, to the

so yes; his head is turned somewhat by
it, but he does not even shield
her in her folly; he sends the flowers tc
his girl friends and laughs with then
