about the next mistress of the White

to their Headquarters reams of copy
about trOuSSeau gowns, and they have
accused Washington of snobbery for

Apropos of the fad for certain fur
trimmings, a fashion magazine says:
THE French poodle can step about
little more proudly this year than ever
before. when he looks about him and
thinks where the idea of fur topped
boots and fur trimmed pantalettes
comes from
The papers have carried long de
tailed accounts of the Harvard Yale
football game, but an untechnical
view of the thing is written by a To-
peka girl who is away in the east to
school this year, who writes about it
in a letter to a Topeka friend. She
says:
I'VE went to Boston by boat, in
spite of the threatening weather; for
we had bought our stateroOm tickets
and could not think of losing so much
money. Harvard just walked all over
Yale, but the crowd was wonderful,
and there was cheering and singing,
and all sort of excitement to make it
bearable for the defeated ones. After
the game we went to town and washed
off the dirt, and went out to restau-
rant to dinner. By that time Harvard
was down town and so was Yale, and |
it was hard to get place to eat.
Then followed the most exciting
dinner 1 have ever attended. 1t was I
most festive. The Harvard people /
were having cocktails to celebrate t
their victory. They were glad that +
that they had won. The Yale peo- /
pie were having cocktails to drown /
their sorrow. One Yale group was eX- .
tremely happy-one of the women (
especially. She rose and danced, by I
herself or with anyone who would 4
dance with her. Then she sat the 4
lap of one of the men and put her
arms about his neck. There was ever
so much music, and when the songs |
of the schools were sung the men and
women stood up. One of the men
who got up for the Harvard song re-
luired two walters to seat him again.
He couldn't seem to get down. 1 think
he could have fallen down or even
sat down. but his aim was not steady,
and the walters appeared to want him
to sit in his chair.

much going on, and L think had we
