A crowd Of the women who are
making war on the cigarette are
stirred up about story told at a con-
vention held in a city of southern
Kansas. The women gathered from
over the state heard it said that there
was little hope of stamping out the
practice of cigarette smoking among
the boys so long as the women puffed
the coffin nails. Biff-bang. The bomb
had exploded. Women, indeed, What
women? Not the women that one
knows, of counsel But the one who
made the suggestion was ready with
her concrete example. She told her
liseeners that at a party in Topeka the
cigarettes were passed (and it was a
party for the nabobs, too). All the
women present took one, she said, ex-
cept the wife of a distinguished law
yer and judge. Shawking! doncher
know?
About fifty of the society people of
Topeka attended each of the Sunday
dinners given last Sunday and the
week previous by Luella Johnson, one
of the caterers who has given efficient
service to many of the well-to-do fam->l
lilies of the city in their party-giving
capacity. A plan to make money for
the church to which she belongs re-
suited in dividing the congregation int o
two divisions that called themselves
no, hsa
lively. For the purpose of aiding her
division, Luella johnson thought of |
the plan of giving two big dinners, and
inviting some of her patrons and 9TH
ers that she thought would be inter- |
ested in her project. She gave her |
parties in the. home of friend in |
Seventeenth street. Her tables were |
spread in three large rooms, and auto
mobiles of the diners were lined up
outside on both sides of the street.
Her banquets were successful both as
display of her skill in cookery and |
serving, and in their financial results.
From seventy-five to a hundred well
known Topeka people attended the
dinners.

and Compass Dancing club gave their

mided before the large mirror at one
end of the hall and the windows held
box beds of blooming plants In the
dining room the quartet tables were
lighted with pink shaded candles and
spring flowers filled tall handled bas-
kets in the corners of the room.
