Two young gallants from Topeka
went out to Colorado in the early sum-
mer. They started out Ship-shape,
with Pullman tickets, and all luxuries
of first-class travel They came home
today in the chair car, worn and hum
CRY. One of them had Canadian
dime in his pocket. and the other had
not so much as one dull copper. The
reason for this financial stringency
was the fact that a certain fair god
dess, who spent the summer in Colo
ra6o, and at whose summer home
the boys were entertained a good deal,
had birthday anniversary in the lat
ter part of August, just before time
to come home. The young men turned
their pockets wrong side out and
busted off all the change to buy gifts
for the colder, girl:

The scarfs that the women are
wearing about their shoulders this sea-
son are new and some of them pretty.
Two girls in motor car yesterday
each wore an orange colored scarf.
The garment is of knitted wool, and
of various coiors, usually gay. They
are especially comfortable for auto
mobile wear this cool weather. A
young woman who was shopping in
combined rather poorly with the rest
of her costume. The skirt was short,
scolloped in sharp points around the
edge, and was of dark cretonne, the
figure being dull red roses The plain
jacket was made with flaring sleeves
and the hat was a tall-crowned black
velvet with pearl buckle as its only
trimming.
The feature of the fair this year in
which society will be particularly in
terested is the horse show. The ar
rangements this year are somewhat
different from those of last season.
The exhibit is to be held in front of
the grandstand, and there will be no
tent erected as there was last fall. The
boxes are to be placed at the situation
of the judges stand, and just
in front of automobile stand.
Box reservations are TO be made Soon
Some out-of-town people have al
read asked for boxes. The exhibitors
thought that the open track would
suit their purposes much better than
the ring in the tent. which is some
what too restricted in space for their
purposes.
All of the exhibitors will take their
horses to the exposition in California
later in the fall. In addition to the
performances given in the tent last
season, this year there will be saddle
horse exhibits, coach-and-four driv-
ing, ETC. Miss Loula Long, of Kan
sas City, who is to be one of the ex-
hibitors, continues to be the center of
interest among peopYe of this section
of the country who care for horse
shows. Some of the other exhibitors
will be E. D. Mooer, of Columbia, Mo-,
Mr.. Fred Pabst of Occomowoc, Wis,
J. d. Thompson of Chicago, r. L.
Davis of Kansas City Don Riley of ST.
Joseph, and George Heyl of Washing
ton, Ill.
