A Topeka man who has been very
persistenuy chased by a girl for the
past year or two has been obliged to
resort to the excuse of bad health and
is SO sincere about 1t that he has
actually lost weight Another man
tells the girl who Is pursuing him that
although. he loved her dearly and
would die for her he made his
mother a solemn death-bed prom
ise that he would never marry
fist, had red hair and a mole on
the left cheek. The girl was willing
to join the Baptist church. although
she is an Episcopalian, and to Titianize
her hair but as she didn't know how
to grow mole and none of the der
matologists would guarantee her one,
she decided that it would be easier to
run down another man and is now hot
on a new trail

It is believed that there are more
smart, ingenious, capable women in |
Topeka than in any other town on
earth. The majority of the Topeka
girls do most of their own sewing and |
when you see them at parties all lit !
up with flowers and tulle in their hair |
and looking like a million dollars the |
chances are their gowns cost not to ex-

dollars would certainly be a big aver |
age estimate for the party gowns worn
at most of the Topeka dances. When |
You see a girl making a noise like |
princess, a belle and an heiresS all at |
once with gloves and shoes and hose to /
match all her frocks don't jump at /
the conclusion that she is extravagant |
She has probably dyed the shoes and !
gloves to match her gown and she /
makes one or at most TWO, pairs OF
each do, with frequent dyeing, for all |
her costumes during a whole season. /
One Of the best dressed women in To- |
peka makes all her own gowns and /
hats. The girls make their shopping /
bags now and one Of the most stun /
ming back combs in town is worn by a
woman who made it herself out Of an !
old belt buckle and a cheap shell side /
comb This woman can dye rugs and |
hangings frame pictures as well as
paint them and make furniture. She |
