THE LADY Is CHOSEN
Whose Pretty Face Is To Adorn the
Karnival Knights Button.

The most beautiful young lady in To-
peka has been photographed with a
eyes and the picture sent to q Jersey
City firm to be engraved and put on
the KarnivaI Knights buttons for this
years Carnival.
prominent girls in society circles. Who
is she? Well, that's a secret. The Kar-
nival knights have all kinds of Sc
crets. They are simply full to the brim
with sensational surprises for the
crowds who will line Kansas avenue
Oct. 1. In other words they will be the
means of making it hot time in the
old town that night. No one on earth
except the committee knows who the
young lady is who will adorn the Kar-
nival Knights button. Even her best
this young lady is so beautiful and is
SO charming that she has several best
fellows The buttons are now being
manufactured and the first sample
will arrive in Topeka the last of this
week Then if any change be required
the company will be notified and the
work rushed through. The buttons
will be handsome souvenirs. They will
be little larger than dollar in size,
will be of celluloid with a fine litho-
graph of the beautiful young lady, and
the caption and other wording will be
worked in the Festival colorS. From
the revenue gained by the sale of these
buttons, the Karnival Knights will pay
running expenses. The buttons will be
put on sale al the big Hamilton hall
meeting to be held soon, due notice of
which will be given later.
A. w. Dana, who is chairman of the
button committee for the Karnival
Knights and who knows all about the
beautiful young lady, intimated today
that the committee had worked hard
to find the proper one and that in their
rambleS they had found that LORNA
was really a Topeka girl and had Sc
lected her. Mr.. Torrington also ad-
mitted that LORNA was a Topeka girl
after all. That makes it so much nicer.
Think of a Topeka girl who could take
such a prominent part in last years
Carnival and keep it all to herself for
a whole year. No wonder the Commit
tee thought she was the proper one to
be on the Karnival Knights official but
ton. One thing sure is that the young
lady who will be on the button with
mask over her eyes is a Topeka resi-
dent. And it is safe to say that it is
the real and only genuine LORNA. How
much more refreshing it is to think that
Topeka contained so charming, so
mysterious a parsonage as LORNA. Some
or AtchiSon, but it now appears that
she is a sure enough Topeka girl, and
her choice for the Karnival knights
button was eminently appropriate.
Tomorrow evening the karniva1
knights general committee will meet at
the Elk's lodge room in regular session.
The full list as made out was published
in corrected form in last Thursdays
State Journal. At the meeting tomor-
row night the membership will be in
creased to 400 members. The meeting
will be an important one and every
young man whose name has been pub
Hshed in this list is urged to be present
and bring his friends to be added to
the mem berShip.
Reporters will not be permitted to
make full reports of the meetings from
now on, as the work of the Karnival
knights must of necessity be conduct
ed secretly.
