Is it queer, or does it just seem to
queer to see a girl using lorgnette?
Two young men who attended one of
the local theaters this week, were
more interested in youngish person
looking through a lOrgnette than they
were in the show. One of the boys
said that the girl was about twenty
years old, with black hair, eyes with
a sparkle and pretty red lips, but he
asserted that he was watching her
because she peered through those
fashionably mounted lenses, though
she was but a few feet from the stage.
When you come to think of it, did
you ever seen any but elderly, middle
aged, or at least settled down, ma
tronly looking women carrying
1n- to in he nj
front of the Ladies Home Journal?
This young woman, the boys say, car
ried her lorgnette with the facility of
a practiced expert She held 1t
daintily between the thumb and fore
finger, and held her little finger ele-
gantly curved, just as the properest
people do in an effort to subdue
quantity of resilient lettuce on slip
perry plate with no implement of de-
Tense but an impossible salad fork.

Rolled socks made their debut IN
Topeka yesterday. The new style of
women's hose that made a furore IN
the east, has struck our town. A
young woman was down town wearing
her stockings with the fashionable roll
over the shoe tops, and the skirt was
short enough to display the new &c
QUESTION to the modish costume. Just
how widely the fad will be accepted
