believes that every young woman
should have some business training
and be ready to earn her living if that
should be necessary Z
The public will be interested to
know that the Efrem Zlmbalists an

N. Y, August 20. Zimbalist is one
of the leading violinists of the world,

For the last game of ball this sea-
son, the population turned out in
force, and some of the women wore
their best street clothes. One young
woman wore a fine striped costume OF
black and white. The material was a
soft silk, and the skirt was made full.
with shirring about the hips. A sash
of the goods was tied below the waist
line and hung in loose knot at the
side. The blouse was of black taffeta,
made with jacket effect. One of the
buds, who was there with her lawyer
beau, wore a taffeta with black and
white awning stripes, with plain black
taffeta jacket. The hat was one of the
new black velvet, fall models. 1t came
tilted saucily over one ear. Another
pretty costume was a cream wool with
a faint, broken blue stripe. 1t was
closely fitted, with flaring skirt and
snug waist. The Jacket had trim
ming of delft blue facings, and large
blue buttons.
Some of the men state that their
attention was taken from the game By
a group of four girls who sat high in
the grandstand, posed to look like the
hosiery ads in the mail order cata-
logueS.
One time this summer a Kansas City
girl came to our town to play the
violin at an evening entertainment.
She is a girl of some talent, and she
was moderately good looking, but she
wore the most frumpish flnery ever
seen on a local stage. Her dress was
dirty; it was out of date; it = as faded,
and some of the lace on it was torn.
The girl acknowledged her applause
with pert nod and a little side kick
with one foot. Evidently she consid-
cred that she was blessing a rube town
with uncommon talent, and that the
public didn't know clean clothes when
they saw them and could be best
with menagerie tricks. 1t is
to be hoped that the Topeka girls who
go out into the smaller towns of the
state on concert trips, do not forget
their manners nor wear their discard
ed gowns.
The marriage of Miss Olga Koch
and Mrs. P. G. Brandt took place

For the first time since 1908, a To-

street.
Young Gilberg graduated from the
Topeka high school last June and
during the past summer took work in
higher mathematics at the Washburn
summer school. His ambition is to
become an engineer and it is because

young Gilberg is aspiring to complete
