There was q great deal of discus
sion at a party not very long ago as
to whether or not a certain Topeka |
girl is good looking
One girl said: "She is very good |
looking because she has decidedly |
fine coloring, well put on
A young matron replied: She is |
not good looking because she does not |
have a good face at ALL"
Some one else said: "She is good |
looking because everyone turns and
looks at her on the street If they did
not consider her good looking would |
they spend so much time looking at
her?"
