The following is taken, from the
Kansas City Times and would be sim
ply awful were it true:
Last fall Topeka society and some
who do not quite belong were set
gossiping by stories of a party or two
at which the women, married and sin
gle. wore mems clothing and cut
high jinks' until late hours. The gos-
sip was such that the crowd of young
people gave up their fun entirely.
Topeka has something new to talk
about now. It was an afternoon party
held only few days ago in one of the
apartments on Topeka avenue, Tope-
ka's fashionable thoroughfare- Only
women were invited and most of those
who attended belong socially and
their husbands are prosperous business
and professional men.
THE rooms we're decorated in the
fashion of Turkey and the women are
said to have spent the afternoon. not
on chairs. but lying on rugs and pill
lows about the rooms and smoking
cigarettes and slipping wines. Only a
few of the women did not smoke eli
garettes. Two servants were kept busy
constantly passing cigarettes and pour
ing wine.
"Topeka society has denied that it
harbored any cigarette smoking Wom-
en- and the pill habit was not suppos-

But there are at least twelve wom-

A letter has been received from DR..
and Mrs. T. ]. Kimbrough, who left
recently to make their home in Jack
son, Tenn. A number of their friends
in Topeka accompanied them to the
train when they left and showered
them with rice after the usual barbar
Gus manner of Furnishing a bride and
bridegroom. The deception followed
them all the way to their new home,
and the solicitous trainman and over
friendly passengers devoted themselves
with great energy to the smiling
bridal pair. In the dining car the
porter provided them a table in a
sheltered corner where they could be
alone, heaped favors of all kinds upon
them and faithfully gathered in the
tips. Finally the doctor told him that
