THERE'S A GIRL IN OUR TOWN
Who is devoted to the swimming
parties at Gage park. She went out
in her car a few days ago, but forgot
her bathing suit. She hurried her
chauffeur back to town after it, with
instructions to her mother to wrap up
the newest one and send it back with
the driver. In a short time the suit
arrived-in an envelope.
And speaking of swimming at the
park, there is a young man in town
who spends a lot of time with a GER
tain young woman and their chief
pastime this summer is swimming.
The man lives at a hotel and works
only when he feels in the mood. So
nearly every morning during the
warm weather he hires a car bright
and early, and he and the girl drive
to the park for a swim wearing their
bathing suits on the trip from. town

One of the girls who is to marry a
man who is in training at Fort Riley,
slyly hopes he will fail of being ac-
cepted in the final wedding out proc
ess of the men at the camp. You see,
if he is retained, the wedding plans
will be sadly mussed up, and no girl
on earth wants anything, even a world
war, to interfere with her wedding
arrangements. She has her wedding
dress bought, and it is a mighty good
looking garment. Now, if the man is
commissioned, the wedding date will
nave 10 De set IN great hurry anu
the event consummated in short order
so as not to interfere too much with
the plans of the United States govern
ment, and the governments of Great
Britain, France, Belgium, Greece
Russia. italy, and the others. On the
other hand, if the man is discharged
he will go back to his peaceful pur-
suit of scribbling and some nice, big
engraved wedding invitations can be
sent out in leisurely fashion, and q
bridal party drilled, and all will be
as it should be.

quiet and they do not dress up. .
Last night i attended a performance
of Carmen" There was an audience
OF fully 1000 people, all of whom
appreciated apparently with whole
hearted enjoyment the excellent per-
| Torrance. There wasn't a man or
woman in evening clothes, but they
were all well dressed. They warned
us in New York to bring soft shirts
and collars, that there would be no
starch in France. Practically every
man l saw last night wore starched
linen collar.
The members of the opera COM
pany were dressed more quietly than
I've ever seen before. Carmen wore
q long dress; all the girls in the cho-
rus did the same. In fact, the French
man prefers it this way; when he
pays for music he wants good music
and he does not care to have it com
bined with any feminine physical dis
play. He doesn't seem to care for
that particular sort of vulgarity, any
way. Il haven't seen a short dress ex-
cept upon very young girls since !
left New York.
Business is good here. The sol
diers come for their vacations, much
American money is being spent, and
the prices for clothes are. less than
you would pay in New York. There
is a saving in coal.
