II Atchfson Globe: A Topeka man
named Arnold had a girl get all her
wedding fnery ready, and then ran OFT
the night before the wedding. Still.
we are willing to bet any money that
Arnold could induce another girl to get
| ready for him in the same way, and
that she wouldn't hire detectives to
| keep him from running off either. The
| confidence a woman has in man be-
| fore she has married him is one of the
| worlds greatest wonders. A girl VIII
| spend any amount of money getting
ready to marry a man, and 1t will never
enter her head that at the last moment
he may develop cold feet.
A Topeka girl has earned the reputa-
| ton in her own family of being dull
| ard and a simpleton. All the other girls
are Terribly Educated and have trunks
full of diplomas from the high schools
and colleges where they have gradual
ted but the Simp1eton has never gradu-
ated any place. The rest of the family
are bookish and literary and keep the
road hot to the libraries but the Sim
pleton has never read but one book and
that under protest and she frankly adj
mits that she Couldn't see any sense
to it." But the Simpleton can cook and
sew and make her own hats and play
ragtime on the piano and she is very
popular and has way of getting every
thing she wants. The other girls de-
clare that she once asked what state
California Is in but she has been to
~ %irronC nn
other girls have never gotten farther
from home than Kansas City.
In these days of universal near cul-
ture when every girl poses as an intel
terested in Literature and Art 1t is
downright refreshing to meet a girl
who is frankly a Simpleton and who
doesn't carry copy OF the Ruplayat
prove that she as literary in her
tastes. A Topeka girl had a sutton
but didn't think much of him. rs ne
any good about giving you things
cussing his merits. NO drawled the
Simpleton. He never gives me any
thing but books. Books!" she repeated
scornfully. What do I want with
books?"
