! The Kappa Alpha Theta sorority
girls will meet at the chapter house
in College Hill this evening at 7:3o
o'clock.
The members of the Great Lakes
Naval band who are in town this week
have brought their mascot, beautiful
white bulldog, with them. They are
very particular with whom they leave
this mascot when, they do not wish
him along with them. Yesterday
soon after noon they looked around
for proper chaperons for him and
| finally decided upon the two charm
! ing young ladies who were in charge
| of the canteen committee tent. One
/ of the girls said they were chosen on
and the other thought it was for their
kindly faces, but the sailors may have
! thought these girls needed the pro-
lection of a fierce looking dog. ANY,
way, he was left at their tent and
evidently they all forgot they had
mascot.
It became late, the tent was closed
and the workers were moved out to a
1 booth with their charge. They wanted
to go home, but had stood sponsors
for this beautiful dog and must find
band boy. The head of the Red
Cross and several other well known
Topeka men went all over the grounds
! in search of a sailor boy, but none
could be found. Finally the parade
arrived and they had hopes, but even
then no member of the sband came
near them. Finally a man in sailor
| uniform was seen half a block away
and going farther at rapid pace. The
head of the Red Cross, one of the can
! teen committee and a Boy Scout who
| had been mustered into service, all
rushed madly after the young must
! clan, who was last seen holding the
chain attached to the dog and wonder
| ing where all his other owners were,
and the dog was probably wondering
where his bone was.
