/ Tuesday
| Kansas Day. Miss Lima Bresette of
! Topeka, deputy factory inspector for
! Kansas and also secretary of the Kan
sas state welfare commission, was a
guest, and one of the speakers for the
afternoon The Hutchinson News
says of her:
The closing talk was given by Miss
Bresette, a Kansas girl who has mis-
sion and one who not only has one,
1 but who is cOnScientiouSly on the job
all the time. She made no speech
about herself, but told why the state
industrial welfare commission had
come into existence and the work it
will accomplish for the upbuilding of
our state. That woman factory in
ispector was needed badly in our state
was recognized when Miss Bresette
told of the conditions which she found
under the management of perfectly
nice men," as she naively put it.

The following lines. parody on
Kipling's poem If" are from the
pen of an Atchison girl. and are for
brides and near-brides:
If you want to win a husband without try
ing,
And make him think that he's the prize,
not you,
If you can trust him when you know he's
And never let him know you knew,
If you can wait and wait and keep on
And .rraat itr, v,bap I,a doas coma With
| smiling eyes,
And listen to that old equivocatinG.
And never say too much or look too wise,
II you can love him, minus shave collar,
If You can cook when BOOKINGS not your
If YOU can coax for every single dollar
And go on being thankful just the same
II You make one heap of your fllu-
sions,
And wish them on one man to stand OF
And fiinging all your fairest dreams
Can declare that he is worth it ALL
If you can force your heart and nerves
To keep n smiling face until the end.
And never show what thoughts are seeth-
And seem to feel the joy that you pretend
II you can have your say and then keeT
/ And never use that gentle little touch,
II you can hide his weakness or deny It,.
= If other men don't interest you too much
If you can spend each day and hour anC
minute,
/ In pleasing him and never make blum
well@matrimony's yours-for all there's
l, in it
y And what IS more, my girl, you are {
