| Who has lived almost all her life
here but who has for the past year
been in one of the southern states. who
Is said to be trying to decide between
two exceedingly eligible suitors. One
of them has also lived all his life in
Topeka and the other was here only
I a short time, but made many friends
among the society people during that
time. Both of the young men are in
the service.
| Those young women who are out
this week collecting money for the
| women's overseas hospitals report that
people are responding beautifully, for
they realize how great is the need OF
| some place where the women OF
France as we'll as the soldiers may be
cared for. Since the great drive be-
gan. these hospitals have been even
more needed than was expected. Let.
tiers from all the doctors in service in
France express their qualification fol

have divided their hospital force into
two units to serve the two most OBJ
! vious needs. care for the military
wounded and relief work among the
poor women of the country.
