tanned about fifty friends last evening
ON the lawn at their home, S11 South
Central avenue, to meet their cousin,
Miss Alice Mead, of Topeka Several
pleasant hours were spent visiting and
an appetizing lunch was served buffet
style at o'clock. Out of town guests
other than the honor guest were Mrs

Whitehurst of Little Rock Ark.
The high commission of fashions
sat in conference lately and they have
decreed that woman must be thin next
winter She must be hipless, and she
must be youthful. 1t is bit cruel
to women, after allowing them an
kinds of liberty with their figures, and
sanctioning the fat ones, to go jump
ing back to the sylph figure again.
That is what happened. We are rlgnt
in the midst of the barrel skirt, full
gathered around the waist. And there
is the flared hip ard the shirred yoke
and the houffant and hustle erect
But these happy days will soon be
gone and instead there will be meat
less days, and the annoying necessity
of giving up candy and CAKE anu
bread and potatoes and pie ana every
thing that's good. For of course next
winter, every woman, be she rat or
slim, tall or dumpy, young or DID, Will
be slender, hipless and youthful
To be sure, summer clothes are not
all made yet, and here we are taking
about next winter. But that IS the
way with Lady Fashion, always ahead
of time-no sooner settled on one sea-
son till she is off to the next to change
it as much as possible:

Kansas suffragists will be glad to
know that Turkish women have won
emancipation at last. AS in all bel
ligerent countries. the war opened up
new avenues of employment to
women. Places in. telephone offices
and postoffices have been given to
Turkish women and girls. All the
young women are now wearing wells
street cars they always draw them up
from their faces. The new woman
movement in Turkey is strong. The
police department issued this notice
recently: THE adoption of new
forms of apparel has become a public
scandal in Constantinople. All Mo-
hammedan women are given two days
in which to lengthen their wells, dis
card corsets and substitute thick for
filmy veils.' Two days later the follow
ing order was issued: We regret that
thru the interference of certain old
women, a subordinate of the police
department has attempted to regulate
the costumes Mohammedan women
should wear. The police department
regrets this blunder and cancels the
previous order"
The subordinate was an invention
of the department which was anxious
to calm the storm it's order had pro-
voked. Wives of Turkish men threat
ened to hold up the Red Crescent
nursing work, telephone girls an
nounced a strike and other women
threatened to leave their jobs unless
the order was cancelled. Thus the
determination of Turkish women to
be westernized won.
