"A Leaxenworth society reporter re-
4 senting some recent comment in this
department OF the State Journal
/ aneut LeaVenWOrth society girls and
/ their matrimonial ambitions, returns
/ the following hot shots.
The writer evidently has forgotten
/ that LeaVenwOrth girls have been
/ born and raised with army officers
and the sight of a uniform does not
cause such a stampede in social cir
cles here as 1t does when one lone
uniform appears in a neighboring
town An army officer was sent to
/ Topeka to prepare a map of that
county early in the winter and it took
six weeks or more to reduce him on
his return. and make him realize he
was just one ordinary man among
/ hundreds of others.
In the same column the following
appeared:
1.-THE scandal at one of the whist
club meetings this week was that a
Topeka widow is to marry an army
officer. Nobody seemed to know any
thing definite about it, but everyone
was so anxious to know that it almost
broke up the game"
Army weddings and engagements
have become so common in Leaven-
worth it would take somewhat more
Of a scandal" to break up a. card
club than the mere suggestion of an
engagement to any army officer.

worth seem TO take very kindly to
post hops and the .impecunious Off
GERS"
