is a thing of the past, and they do say
way over.
Will things ever be the same in
| Topeka society as they were before
| the war? One of the women said
| yesterday that she had moved around
in the same little circle for years and
| that she didn't know that there were
such grand, broad-minded people in
| the whole world as she had met in
| her Red Cross work. why" she add
ed, they have had such full lives that
| they haven't had time for the petty
| things which have always considered
| important" And she has been lead
er of society for years, too. and has
| never been considered one of the mar
row women of the town by any means.
+ Who is the well known married
woman who was ready to go to France
in the interests of the Red Cross, but
good city on account of a man friend,
other than friend husband?
| Did you hear about the two young
girls who cut their last hour class at
school to attend picture show just
before the long vacation they were
| given on account of the flu? And
what do you think q one or them re-
marked, 1.-The man with authority was
| narrow-minded enough to remember it
| all that time" And these girls say
that while many others did the same
| thing, they were the only two who
were expelled when they went back
after all those weeks. They say the
reason for this is that they were the
last to return and that all the excuses
had been used when they got there.
They said, I'VE were sick" and looked
really honest, but the head of the
school said that excuse had already
been given and they must look fur
Their. Those who know, say that these
little girls did some pleading and
promising before they got those with
authority to write notes which would
permit them to enter the company of
their classmates (and seniors, too,
mind YOU'D with good grace. 1t takes
| a great deal to humble a senior, as
everyone knows, but these two were
meek by the time they got back on
the rough road to knowledge.
Once more cupid has dealt a fatal
blow, and again they are Washburn
people. He has gone to France and
she is worrying along with her readin',
writin' and 'rithmetic together with
the rest of them.
| What o-you-know-about the young
man who has been travelling about for
his health for years and was sure he
never could pass the physical eXami-
nation for the army, who went right
thru, passed by seven physicians? But
he was doomed to hard luck, for he
no sooner got to Funston than he
turned right round and came back
home again.
The most interesting little bit of
scandalous gossip came my way the
other day and CT course for your sake
| l didn't avoid it. 1t seems the hus-
band of a Topeka woman who has
been out of town has been acting up
a bit of late. But that isn't the worst
part of 1.-THE girl in the Irritation is
one OF the very young girls who works
doWn town. She also is from one OF
the good families of our city, SO the
story goes. These two were intro
duced by friend and Immediately be-
came quite intimate. Since wife was
away the meetings were not difficult
and they became quite frequent. The
19-year-old girl was convinced thai
she understood the man who had been

her friends that she was the only
person in the world who understood

girl could. Finally, a woman in on,
