whole suite and the t. A. A. rooms on
the first floor of the Masonic building
We're employ ed for the entertainment fer
which about 400 invitations had been

gay and brilliant The decorations were
beautiful and typical of the Easter sea
son, the company was large and fash
ionable and included all the local prize
beauties and a number from out or
town Nearly every girl had been
or American Beauties and there were
lots of new party toys.
1t has been rumored frequently of
late that blondes are going out OF faSh-
ion but there was no indication of this
change of mode at the Drechsel dance
and it is safe to say that there viii
be nothing to it as long as they con-
tinue to make blondes as good looking
as the bellies of the ball last night.
Both Mrs. Drechsel and her stunning
sister, Miss Ann Ryan of Leavenworth'
who was in the receiving party, are de-
eided blonGes-daughters of the gods,
divirely tall and most divinely fair
and they were looking especially beau
tiful last night Mrs. Drechsel wore a
lovely gown-a modified Empire of
lavender crepe de chine, with shoes and
gloves to match and carried a big show
er bouquet of lilies f-the-valey. There
was a wreath of purple pansles IN her
golden hair, and although she Is al
ways one of the prettiest women at the
Topeka parties, she was never so radl-
Ryan was as regal as usual in black
and white pTincesse gown which she
has worn in Topeka before and Whlch
was so tremendously admired that an
gore was demanded. She had her
rms filed with American Beauties.
Another visiting girl who lent dlstlnc-
ton to this impressive blonde brigade
was Miss Lucia Hunting, also OF LeaV-
enworth, and one of the prettiest girls
who has been in Topeka in many day
Miss Hunting is rather petite, extreme
F1Tv- of nj
and white skins, big. melting blue eyes
and golden hair. She wore black last
light and carried American Beauties. |

dancing halls palms furnished the only /
decorations-or, it would be more ac-
cUrate to say, made a background for
the youth. beauty and chivalry repre- !
scented The supper rooms were Law
1shly adorned the east room with
American beauties and the west room
with Easter lilies and white tulips. Red
lights were used in the former and
white candles in candelabra in the lat
ter. All things considered, the affair
was the most elaborate and successful
of the year in Topeka. and ranks high
among the Perfectly Grand parties of
peal social history.
For two or three years a girl who
rides herself on rarely overlooking
anything good has been mildly inter
ested in a young chap whom she didn't
know. but whom she suspected might
do. Her interest was largely prompted
by unitarian motives, for he appeared
to be completely unattached. although
he seemed promising; and she thought
1t was a shame for him to be going to
waste that way when there We're so
many nice girls who could probably
make him useful. But she was busy
herself, and, although she talked him
up a little now and then TO other girls
and said she meant to cultivate him
she put it off from day to day and ;
never set about it, The other day he
bought a new fx-thousand-dollar au-
tomobile; and whereas, if she had fol-
lowed her bunch a year or so ago she
might have been in on the ground floor
and had that touring car waiting !
around for her while she did her shop
now in the race. and the competition is
so keen that she realizes that she is
nowhere in sight. Hard luck!

If a woman is a really good manager

The chap who is taking a vacation in
