The anti-high school fraternity law
doesn't seem to have suppressed the
small fry aristocracy much or put an
end to their gaieties. The Delta Onl-

until after three o'clock. an unheard OF
hour for Topeka where even the gayest

one. The party however did not begln
until nine. In this change or hour the
high school traits are aping University

eight and quitting at one, just like their
Informal small-and-earlies, was moro
than the Mellins Food crowd could

mined to make a noise like a college
smart set for once if they had to stand
in the corner with their hands tied be-
hind them to pay for It,

A good many years ago a certain !
chap who has been jollying the de- |
butantes of each successive season for
many a day, assumed a patronizing |
and blase air for 80 ciety'' purposes. |
The pose at that time was a trif1e |
premature but he has grown into it |
now and it fits him and his long and |
ohaclrarad cnoia1 ole
At a party recently he was talking to |
one of the young girls-the usual line |
of hot air. "Imogene," he said, 81
hyah you are going away, from hyahi 1
your admirers2 An I, what shall I
do when you are gomez oh" said |
Imogene drily, Il don't know. but I |
suppose you'll get along about as you |
did before 1 grew up" and the leaves |
of the lemon tree in the conservatory |
whispered and laughed together!

has fallen in love and not
