IN STUDENT HOME
WaShburn Plans DOrmitOrieS
for Out of Town. Students.
Rush of Freshmen Awakens
Needs at TOpeka's College.
UNION HOUSES" FOR Them
Would Require Freshmen to
Live i'm Institutions.
Expenditure of $4,000 Would
Be the Requirement.
UNION HOUSES" FOR THEM
ORECAST.

Two big dormitories capable of
housing the two hundred and fifty
freshman boys and girls that come to
Washburn from over the state each
year may be erected within the year
on the college campus. That is the
belief of many prominent Washburr
alumni and trustees.
In such case the plan of many big
eastern universities in requiring their
freshmen to live in the dormitories
will be followed out. The dormitories
would also serve as student union
houses" for the boys and girls. They
would supply the long felt need at
Washburn for a student club house
and center.
When asked today concerning the
proposed dormitories, DR.. Womer ad-
mitted it was the idea to erect another
dormitory for the girls as soon as
financially feasible. Washburn has
at present one girls dormitory which
holds nearly one hundred girls. Altho
nothing definite has been decided by
the trustees in regard to boys dormi-
tory it is understood that they look
with favor upon the idea.
The erection of two such dormitorIes
was proposed would involve the ex-
penditure of more than $4,000.

Millinery First Consideration Of
Employers of Girls.
Y. w. C. A., knowing Import-

TO FOLLOW FITTING STYLES
Women Can Change Headgear
at Small Expense.
Value of Topeka Y. w. Reaches
LOng-Suffering Hubby.

The quiet, soberly dressed working
girl of fiction isn't. at least in large
cities according to Miss Fannie Boz
den Hart, new secretary of the Y "
c. A. There is a dollars and cents
reason why.
The modern employer wants his
working force prosperously dressed as
an advertisement for his place In
practically any line of work it's the
appearance that is noted before the
recommendations from previous era-
ployers.
Invariably the first item of appear
ance that catches the employers exc
is the millinery of the applicant. The
next feature in the ..onee over is her
shoes and last her gloves.
But the main feature is the hat
And it is recognition of the Importance
of millinery in women's industrial life
that has induced Y. W. c. AS all over
the country to install millinery classes
so that the average woman can fit
with the hat fashions which change
every three months and oftener.-e
However, it is the minority in tho
local Y. w. C. A. millinery class that
qualify as working girls, The major
ity are married women.

whether 1t will be necessary to sell the

they look up contentedly and say, It's
wonderful, dear. Did it cost you rs
cents or a dollar and a quarter ?'
| The millinery class at the Y. w. is
one of the most popular institutions
of the local association. 1t is under
the direction of Miss Maud c. Brick
ley. It's enrolment is steadily oD the
increase.
| There's another angle to the mil
linery situation, according to Miss
Hart, which. however. does not affect
| Topeka. In Chicago, where Miss Hart
has done much social welfare work, 1t
is known that the desire for a new
hat and the lack of wherewithal to
purchase are responsible for many a
| sad fall. A little ingenuity with the
needle has disguised many a last sea-

working girls. millinery is an UNI

frequent, pitless and memorable.

IT WAS TOO RAW
Yates Couldn't "See" Lodge
Brother and His Friend.
Man of Much Nerve Also
Tackled DIR. Clark.

He walked into Judge Yates office
at the Provident association with a
typical tramp swagger and exhibited
receipt for September dues from

He drew himself up impressively in his
rags and announced: THE Topeka

ION a pinch, we could board you and
sleep you until tomorrow night. as
your receipt seems to be genuine.

The promise of free meals sounded
pretty good to the hobo. Say. boss. "
he announced eagerly, Il got a friend
out here. Can 1 bring him along?"
1t was too raw. Get out of here"
ordered the judge. You or your
friend either will get no meals now"
Next it appeared the DO sought

didn't. feel well. The chief item of
complaint was that his feet felt very

fected by Judge Yates refusal, for he
asked to be sent to good hospital to
recuperate.
'.Oh, I don't believe that I'll put
the city to the expense" replied DE-.
Clark.
One mo" wasn't enough refusal for
the hobo. whose personality seemed
brass-mounted.
"Christ's hospital I hear is pretty
good" he announced. I'D like to so
there
We'll, you're not sick and you're
not going to any hospital. Git!' Or

as impressively into Judge Yates's Of

Camp poets are numerous in the

The 'Cavalryman" is one of the en-
joyable features of camp life at
Brownsville, according to DIR. Jeffrey.
The First Illinois cavalry was the first
guard regiment on the border and is
one of the best equipped and trained
in the service. Its ranks are filled
from prominent Chicago men of all
walks of life. Their newspaper shows
that they are not anxious to return to

The classic legend of Narcissus prob ably has its origin in the belief that If q man sees his image In water he will die. Nor has the idea vanished in our own day. Professor Frazer, In his Golden Bough." tells us that In Old euburg 1t is thought that If man sees his reflection after deuth he will die himself. Therefore all the mirrors in a house of mourning are covered with white cloth. and in some parts of Ger
