Topeka society is coming on. The
remainder of October and the early
part of November have their calendars
crowded with real parties-none of
this Armenian and Belgian relief fund
entertainments, and not the forgath-
ering of the DANES and damsels with
higher aspirations and a yearning to
elevate the masses; at these parties,
public sympathy is not TO be enlisted
for better babies, and society is happy
and glad that there are to be some
parties where the monument fund, the
high cost of living, the primal urge,
the Hughes campaign. national suf-
frage, Washburn endowment. penal
institutions, uplift and hygiene will not
be the main purpose. Society wants
to play a while, and it has chosen the
late autumn for its frolics.
