The wedding arrangements that so
cietv girl and her fiance have planned,
depart in all the details, from the con-
yentionaI society methods. Miss jose
pl1ine Keller, of Kansas CITY, is the
bride and she is going all the way TO
California to marry Mr. Kenneth In
tleiohn. Their engagement was an
nounced months ago, and they had at
first intended to be married last au-
tunln but Mr.. Littlejohn was in Mexico
at that time, and the thoughtless cltl-
zens of the republic carelessly started
row that turned the lovers plans all
topsv-tllryey like fiat on moving day.
After while Mr.. Littlejohn went to
California, where he is now engaged In
civil engineering work, and Miss kelzer
is going out there tC be married More
over they are going to dispense with
ali the frills and theatricaIs, the trail
ing gown and veil, soft music, slow
march. and high lights, shoulder weep
ing and mournful farewells- MISS
Kaizer is going to make the journey
half way across the continent all alone,
leaving Kansas City Thursday of this
week She will pass through Topeka on
the Golden State Limited, and has
written a number of her friends to meet
her at noon at the station, and visit
her while the train waits. She Will then
early Saturday afternoon. At four
O'Clock she and Mr.. Littlejohn will be
married at the minister's house, and
the parson himself will be both cele-
brant and witness. The young people
will live in Los Angeles, at least for the
present. This reversible system that
the young couple have adopted, in |
which the bride takes the wedding |
journey alone before the ceremony, has |
a sparkle of romance about-it that adds
to the interest already centering in the |
marriage of an attractive and popu- |
lar girl, who spent most of her life in |
Topeka and who belongs to a well |
known family. Miss Keller is the |
daughter of Mr.. Dell Keller, formerly |
a Topeka newspaper man, and Mrs. |
Keller.
Miss Freda Belts, who is a student at |
Glen Eden Seminary, Poughkeepsie, |
New York, will return home the first |
of June. She will come as far as Chi |
cago by boat, and will stop in Buffalo, |
where she will meet a party of friends. |
She will be accompanied home by two |
Of her school friends, Miss Nina Heipel |
and Miss Adelaide Baldwin, both of
Pasadena, California, who will stop in |
Topeka on their way home to be Miss
Belts guests. Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B. Belts
will go to Chicago to meet their daugh-
ter and their friends and will return
with them. During the early summer
Mr.. and Mrs. Belts and Miss Belts will
1ivide their time between their ranch
n Kiowa county anG Leavenworth,
where Mr.. Belts has charge of the cree
ion of the court house. In August the
family will go for a trip to Alaska.

There was a Topeka woman who
waited long and patiently for the
,rince. She had long ago passed the
milestone where kind hearted people
ease to refer to spinsters in CONVEX
alton with the travellers on the road
0 old age. She had come to lean
retty heavily on such comfortingl
dages as There never was a goose
o grey and "All things come to those
rho wait" just as many people cherish
uch notices as though they were per-
onal promises made to them, and so at
asst an honest gander'' did come her
Tay sure enough. Among the women
FnO calISQ AFTER ner marriage was a |
maiden friend some ten years her
unior, and as the unmarried one ap-
reached, our matron looked down the
Walk from her Olympian heights and
bserved to one of her callers, Now
THAT do you suppose that old maid
5ants?''
