Social Attitude Toward War"
Some years ago young man drift
ed into Topeka from the sticks look
ing for work. His shoes were down
at the heel and nearly out at the toes;
his trousers and his sleeves had
fringe at the edges, and on his face
was a lean look, as though he had dis
honorable intentions toward a delica-
lessen store. He finally got job and
made some friends among the men in
his office. By easy stages and by rea-
agreeable he was introduced to some
people in the outlying districts of the
smart set. At last an opening wedge
to the inner circle was found A girl
of the inside fashionable set began to
notice him. BY dint of borrowing
from his friends and hammering his
employer for advances in salary, he
made himself presentable to the
young woman. The girl soon discov-.
cred that she was taking more than
passing interest in the young man,
and just there her father stepped in
and all but ordered the worshipper at
his daughters shrine to keep off the
premises. For time tragedy stallSed
across the stage of Loves Young
Dream, but as usually happens, the
attitude of the parent only aggravated
the case, and soon the couple were
preparing for marriage. After the
wedding the bridegroom was offered
good position with something approx
mating a princely income in another
city. He grabbed the chance, and he
kept it, because he was made OF the
right material. He occasionally comes
back to Topeka to visit, and father-in- |
law rushes around to make himself fit. |
He gets out his cane, has his clothes
pressed and his hat blocked, and
marches down the street looking near |
ly well enough groomed for the COM
pany of his faultlessly attired and dis
tinguished relative:
