THERE'S A GIRL IN OUR TOWN
Who had on a dreadful mad at
her beau the other evening. She had
a date with him to go to a picture
show, and he didn't come for her.
That is, she thought he didn't. She
is a member of one of the sororities,
and the man in the case is a special
favorite in another sorority. He
thought the girl belonged in the chap
ter house that had been making
pet of him; so he called at the old,
familiar door, and asked of the first
Greek letter girl he saw, where Miss
So-and-so was. The girl was keen
one, and Immediately saw that the
young man had been paying court to
a girl in rival sorority. So she told
him to be seated, and that the girl
he was taking for would be down
stairs in just a minute. He knew
good deal about the length of minutes
that a young man has to wait when
a girl is making her toilette, but he
sat down with what patience he could
summon. Then all the girls surrepti-
tiously left the house, leaving the
young man to the devices and desires
of his own heart. The minutes stretch
ed out to an hour and a half, and
then he left. Meanwhile, the girl in
the case sat as long in the parlor of
the other sorority house, thinking I'M
utterable things about men who make
dates and fail to keep them.
The kindergarten children of Beth
any college had a Christmas party
this morning, with tree and gifts.
The little children gave a little Christ
mas play Tuesday morning, which was
people and the older students of the
school.
The Day Nursery club will meet
Thursday afternoon at the Pelletier
Red Cross rooms
The Thursday Afternoon Bridge
club will meet Thursday with Mrs
Charles Wolff. Jr.. of Fillmore street
THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who has a REAL leopard skin coat,
dreadfully expensive and handsome.
During all the cold weather of the
past week or two, she has religiously
left that coat hanging in the closet
because an imitation was running
about town on a chorus girl, who
couldn't make her eyes behave" as
she tripped about the town. Now that
she has left the village, the owner of
the real leopard coat has taken heart
and is wearing hers again. But last
night the blow fell. She spoke to a
man in the tea room who returned
her salute with a stare of cold I'M
ed to know why she had been snubbed.
And the man talked for about ten
minutes as fast as the state laws of
Kansas will permit, trying to explain
IL
he was absent minded; that he was
near sighted; that he was worried
about business affairs, etc, but that
he did not knowingly refuse to speak
because he thought she was the fair
maid of the wool coat spotted to look
like a leopard skin.
