| One of the young women belonging
! to a Legislative family, is in Topeka
while her father sits with the other
solons. She is college girl and af-
! filiated with d leading sorority. She
often goes up to the legislature and
takes a seat at the rear of the hall to
listen to some of the discussions.
A few days ago a Topeka woman
/ who hauntS the legislative halls, prob
ably looking for material or poses to
be used in some public speeches she
expects to make, came rushing to the
! house a few minutes after the Session
opened. Dear me-" she puffed into
the ear of the visiting girl, Il do be-
/ lieve l am too late to get one of those
| front seats. and 1 fairly flew down
hire"
/ Well" drawled the girl, why not
sit back here with me. I like these
seats so that l can get up and leave
when l find l am getting bored"
Indeed, l don't want to lose a
word, and 1 might if 1 stayed in this
part of the house, the older woman
painted.
And do you understand all they
talk about ~ the girl asked.
/ Yes. / do declared tie serious
! minded watcher of legislative action.
You know l have been to college, nd
! | understand every word these men
say, 1 don't care how smart they are"
Il dare say it requires college
e ucation to comprehend all this bril-
/ lance" sighed the young srl. Thus
do the charmers from the small towns
come up to the great capital city and
have fun with our most earnest female
seekers after politic4l enlightenment.
