Miss DeVilbiss came to Topeka some
weeks ago, and was introduced to
group of friends at a party She has
received a good deal of attention
who find her different from the con-
ventional type of high school girl. She
is devoted to athletics, and tor the
past year and half she has lived out
doors. practically all the time After
finishing high school she was given by
her guardians, who are her older sis
tiers, a year or two just to play in-no
studies, no careS-and she has had the
time of her young life. riding, skating,
skiing, motoring, hunting, fishing and
rowing. She knows the woods about
her home in Fort Wayne as she knows
her own house. and it is with some re-
luctance she exchanges for skirts and
party clothes, her outfit of boomers
leggins middies and wooden caps. Her
outdoor life has given her slender,
boyish figure, without an ounce of
superfluous weight In manner and
1 speech she is simple and unaffected.
| She has been an orphan from early
childhood, and has made her home
with her sisters. She is now living
with DIR. Lydia DeNilbiss. who is at
the head of the Kansas bureau of
child hygiene. They have apartments
at Tenth and Topeka avenues. and
Miss Marian is the housekeper for the
establishment. She expects to enter
