THE LETTER OF A DEBUTANTE.
Dear S. R.:-Have you heard that
one of the very prettiest little girls of
the younger crowd is supposed to
have been married to a young army
officer in France all thru this war and
never to have told a person, not even
her parents? She hasn't told it but
many of her friends think they have
guessed right. She is wearing a we'd
ding ring under the very pretty dia-
mond which was his gift, but she says
she wears the band ring just because
she wants to and perhaps she does
and because the young officer wants
her to.
The Rota club Saturday night and
Sunday afternoon parties have proven
to be matrimonial bureaus. N at
least two cases serious affairs have
developed between young people who
have met at these parties and hey
do say in several other cases the SOL
dfers have stopped coming 20 the par
ties and are spending their Saturday
evenings and Sundays at the homes
of the girls instead.
Two of the Topeka girls, at least
one of whom has a sweetheart away
to war. are said not to be sitting
They do say. too. that these girls
often have been seen this fall with
some of the married men of the town.
Secrets like that just won't keep in
Topeka, will they?
