In these times when the good old
elms and box elders are all being eat
en- up with the parasites that infest
them, it is good to see the linden
trees blooming unmolested. These
trees are not very plentiful in Topeka,
but they are lovely wherever they are
found. There is one on Tenth street,
east of the avenue a short distance,
and there are a number of them in
Garfield park. One is poisoning on
Huntoon by the old A. b. Quinton
home, and there are a few on West
Fifteenth street.

THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who has just given her brown locks
their first treatment of henna. She
heard from a relative in Chicago that
oil riYlc Lot, =
says the way it is done is to put the
dope on in a paste and then leave it
covered with a rubber cap until it
dries. She made the treatment extra
light which she gave her hair, expect
ing to make only a slight change in
the color. But when she removed the
cap, she found the edges so pink that
she had to cut off a fringe far enough
back to strike the uniform color of
reddish brown. It is some hair now,
believe me, and has outdistanced by
miles some of the calico red that more
experienced dyers have achieved.

MacLennan. first vice president; Mrs.
Nellie Johnson Fargo. second vice
president: Mrs. Wilbur Galloway, Sec

The society was organized two years,

ton of officers every second year.
Mrs. Nellis made the address OF
welcome. in part as follows: An or
ganization should not be formed with
out some valid reason. There are so
many reasons for this organization
that I can mention but a few. These
will multiply with the years.
The first purpose, to me, was to
bring into closer fellowship and social
i. imacy the descendants of our pio-
neer Kansans. and thus engender a
feeling of relationship, statewide,
among US.
Second, to record and preserve au-
thentic state history. especially per-
sonal "reminiscences and incidents con-
C, rning the lives of the early settlers
while such biographies can be veri-
fled, keeping faith with those strong
courageous souls who first carved the
name Kansas on the annals of the
Union.
In the stress of patriotic service de-
manded by the present world wide
conflict. we find our native sons and
