WASHING Money!

and Is Excellent Amusement
for Rainy Day.

A pencil and paper game for a rainy
day is the initial game. Write your
initials at the top of paper and hand
1t on to the next person, as you do in
consequences" Then a set of ques-
lions are read, and the answer must
begin with the initials on the paper.
Between the questions the papers are
passed on, so that every one tries
their skill at the same initials.
We will suppose that some child's
name is Ruth Pitman, so that her
initials are r. p. Suppose the first
question is How does she look?" The
answer might be really perfect" or
rather pretty"
The next question is What is her
favorite color?" and the answer might
be 'reddish-purple." or rose pink"
Another question is What is her
favorite dish?" and might be an
answered raspberry pudding" or
roasted pineapple or red plums,"
or even raw potatoes" What is
her favorite amusement" can be a
question. Why, that might be an
swered by anything from reading
poetry to roasting peanuts"
What is her greatest accomplish
ments?" Riding ponies" or raising
pansies."
What is her greatest fault" RE
current peevishness."
What Is her greatest virtue1"
Remarkable patience"
You see, this Ruth Pitman might
be surprised to find what a versatile
person she was, and you will find that
you have made all sorts of funny and
surprising combinations when the
papers are finally read aloud. at the
end of the game

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

They had twice broken their engage
| ment.
She had thrown the ring on the floor
| in true dime novel style, and he had
sworn never to have anything more TO
do with her.
So when he told me that the wedding
day was set for the third time and the
wedding cards actually out at last, ]
think I must have looked dubious, de-
spite my words Of formal congratula-
ton.
Il know it, Ruth he said, answer
ing my look instead of my word. Il
know it. She's all ever said she was
in my angriest moment 1 know she's
little brainless thing, that she's half
way bad and that she's got the temper
of the devil, but, Ruth, love her"
That was eight months ago. a month
before the wedding.
And now she has gone back to her
people and he to his while the divorce
suit is pending.
OF course.
It simply couldn't have ended other
wise.
He used the word "love' of the at
traction that drew him to her in spite
of himself, but he should not have. He
degraded the word by doing so.
It wasn't love at alI-love respects
and exalts and glorifies its object.
1t was simply one of the biggest life
wreckers in the world-infatuation.
Beware of the emotion that does not
respect and glorify its object
To any man or woman who feels as
this man did, a passion that he him
self admits is not founded on any
basis of worth, and who feels it so
strongly that he is in danger of getting
married on the strength Of it, my
heartiest advice is, "Get some one to
lock you up until the fit is over. if
necessary. No measure is too strong
that keeps you from committing mat
rimony under these conditions.
The man who marrieS under the in
f1uence of such an attraction might as
well hire his divorce lawyer at the
same time he prOcureS his marriage
certificate. He is that apt to need him.
How are you going to tell the differ
ence between love and infatuation?
/ don't see how anyone can ever nave
any doubt on the subject.
Infatuation is the kind of emotion
that that man felt-the kind that says,
'tShe isn't really worthy to be loved,
but can't seem to help loving her
Love is the kind Of feeling that says,
as all true lovers do
st am not worthy to love her, but
can't seem to help loving her."
There was a little squib in Life the
other day that just belongs here. 1t
ran something like this
Young Man to Clerk want license

Clerk to Young Man-Very well.
That's the 1,200th license for that girl
SO far this year.
city who loved the woman they were
going to marry, and 1900 weddings
that I'll wager will contribute mighty
little to the divorce total
Seems to me that it wouldn't be bad
question to have asked the young men
seeking a license Are you going to
marry the best girl in the world? and
those who couldn't say "yes" with the
proper fervor shouldn't get the license.

Perhaps she is away from home-in a town

With. a good many hours of hard work in each

Mr.. William Crockett'S wedding gift
to his bride was a sunburst set with a
hundred pearls and a large diamond.
Her fathers gift was % acres of land
in the Isle of Pines, a mahogany bed
room set, a grand piano and a check
for $1,000. The bridegroom's father
made his son and the bride a present
of a ten-room house in Lafayette. 1t
would seem that by. the practice of
rigid economy they should be able to
worry along with that kind of a start,
considering the presents from other
friends of the many household neces-
stiles and ornaments that comprise the
shining array of bridal gifts.
Announcement is made of the en-
gagement of Miss Nellie Flint of Tenn
pie. Tex, and Mr. Harvey Powell of
Topeka The wedding will take place
Wednesday, April 20. in Temple. Miss
Flint is a charming girl, who has often
visited in Topeka, and has a large cir
Gle of friends here. Mr.. Powell, who
came to Topeka from Illinois, is
nephew of Mr.. and Mrs. N. NJ. Rice.
They are to have a big church we'd
ding, with a bridal party of thirty peo-
pie. A number of guests will go from
here to attend the wedding. Mr.. Powell
will bring his bride to Topeka, and they
will make their home at the Virginia.

in spring flowers-violets, 1ilacs, and
apple blossoms. The windows were
hung in green, and the rugs and

TuLMAN GOES TO TRENTON.
Senior Senator Left Washington
Wednesday Afternoon.

Washington, March Ex-senator
Tilhnan left Washington this after
noon for his home at Trenton, ac-
oompanied by Mrs. Tillman and his
daughters. They travelled by the
Southern railroad and expect to
reach home early tomorrow morning.
It was believed that the Senator
would require a special car for his
trip, but he said he felt entirely
able to go in an ordinary Pullman
by reserving a private section. A
number Of friends were at the de-
pot to say goodbye, and during the
day several senators called to pay
their respects and to bid Senator
TiIlman a safe journey and an early
weturn. Just before leaving the
senator said he thought he would be
able to come back to the senate
within a year.
Senator TiIlman left his apart
ments at the Balfour, with Mrs.
Tillman and J. M. Baker, assistant
librarian of the senate, about 3
o 'clock, and drove i'm a taxicab to
the Capitol. There he discussed GER
tain legislative matters for several
minutes with Senator Hales chair
man of the senate committee on
appropriations. Senator Tillman de-
sired particularly to arrange with
Senator Hale the matter Of taking
care Of the project for giving deeper
water ON the Charleston bar. After
remaining there for g. short while
he then proceeded to the union sta
tion. He declined to use a rolling
chair, but walked from the taxcab
entrance of the station to the ele-
vator, some distance, and then pro-
ceeded to board his train for South
Carolina. There is much satisfaction
expressed here tonight at the fact
that Senator Tillman has mended so
rapidly and hopes are entertained
now for his entire recovery.
