come dying fad) a man is afraid
to go home in the dark or otherwise
for fear his wife and daughters will
dip him in tube paint and gasoline
to contrast effectively with the green
den they fixed up for him but never
allow him to use. 1t has been about
two years now since, the Topeka girls
discovered that if you dissolve tube
paints in gasoline you can dye any
thing except hair successfully and
they have More Fun changing the
color of their shoes, hose, gloves,
wells and the flowers on their hats
than they ever had in all their lives
achieved by Miss Eugenia Quinton
and Miss Gertrude Mulvane whose
tea at the home of the former Thurs
day was one of the events of the
week for the debutantes. The piece
de resistance of the tea table in the
flowing with-Yellow snowballs, if
you will stand for that contradiction
which the hOstesses had dyed for the
occasion. And why, you will ask,
Yellow snowballs. o just cause! The
guest of honor at the tea, pretty Miss
Edith Morton, is brunette and yell
low is her favorite color, and it's SO
much fun to dye. 1t was really
bee-yut-iful dining room with huge
baskets of bilious snowballs in the
all around the room and those charm
ing debutantes receieving and assist
ing and all talking and laughing at
once and having the best time in the
world. The receiving line was par
ticularly aIluring. Miss Quinton in a
the way she's one of the most stun
ming of the local beauties, with a fig
ure and clothes that look just like
Vogue-and praise can go no farther
and wonderful Titan hair) in a
dream of gown of yellow liberty satin
and white lace, and the prospective
bride as graceful and lovely as a
flower in a white embroidered muslin
over pale yellow. There was a
charming bunch of assisting girls in
their most partified clothes and the
guests numbered all the debutantes
and sub-debutantes and as many of
the old girls as could break in.
But Miss Morton had to divide hon
ors with the youngest bud of all, Little
Miss Elizabeth Rebecca Mulvane, not
mother, Mrs. Don Mulvane, and who
was the center of an admiring group
all the afternoon and had no less than
fifteen different nurse maids quarrel
ling over her and disputing whether
she looked more like the Mulvanes or
the Fleishmans and which one of the
Fleishmans. She wore a beautiful
hand made gown of finest white
handkerchief linen, embroidered and
put together with beading and rolled
hens and all that sort of thing
and her poise, nonchalance and
savior faire (what do you
know about that?) proclaimed the
future belle. But she wouldn't be
the daughter of her mother, one of
the most charming young matrons in
Topeka, If she were not success with
the women as well as the men. She
was surely the hit of the piece Thurs
day.
Miss Morton was the recipient
of many social honors in the fort
night preceding her wedding which
was almost the first in her set and
therefore of immense interest to the
Young Crowd.
Exciting whispers may be heard in
the high school set nowadays about
the peachy party the Delts are going
to give at the National roof garden

the other frats and sororities won't
