THE LETTER OF A DEBUTANTE.
Dear S. R.:-It begins to look as
tho it were time to 'hang up the fid-
die and the bow and get out the
shovel and the hoe" once more, doesn't
it? l suppose great many people
who had vegetable gardens for the
first time last year, on account of the
war, will not consent to give up such
them grow and will again plant part
of their back yards to something more
economic than peoples.
Do you know Gall you who went to
Kansas City to see The Ziegfeld Fol-
Ues"O they say that 1.-The Fiddlers
Three" which followed 1.-The Follies'
the next week and didn't attract any
attention whatsoever in our town, was
better show?
One of the Topeka women who has
been married long enough to have had
number of anniversaries has always
received two dozen American Beauty
roses from her husband on that date.
This year the head of the household
is in France and two real LACE roses
came in place of the American
poo
afterthought, he is sending platinum
ring set with five diamonds in mem
DRY of the day he was married. LOOKS
as tho he didn't need to see the picture
at the Orpheum the last half or this
week, doesn't it?
They say one of the pretty girls who
has a stenographic position, was really
very much infatuated with one of the
Legislators who was neither wtdoWer
nor bachelor. And it is the same
understand nor appreciate him" you
know.
One of the well known Topeka
women was looking for bargains in
shoes down town one day this week.
She had seen in the evening paper that
shoes that were good style and real
bargains, were to be sold for three dol
lars. She went down to get a pair
and the clerk tried a number of pairs
of oxfords on her, but she said none or
them would do, they were all too old
fashioned, too long and narrow; they
were funny looking and would not do
even at that low price When she got
thru saying how ridiculously out of
style and peculiar looking they were,
the clerk informed her that he had
been trying the new spring styles on
her and they were from SO to $12 a
pair He had not understood that she
was looking for sale shoes. And she
is a woman who never would have adj
mitted even to her self that she was
prejudiced in favor of the high priced
article on account of its price.
Those who were there say that one
of the young matrons is certainly
good dancer when it comes to the
"shimmy." "And you should have seen
her shimmying with one of the young
men before her husband, who was de-
tanned by business, came to the party"
added a rather conventional young
nlatron.
At a wedding not long ago the
bridegroom had evidently committed
the ceremony to memory and when the
minister started to say John, do you
take this woman, etc." he just got the
word John" out of his mouth when
the eager bridegroom burst forth with
his 81 do to the amusement of the
guests and the embarrassment of the
minister, who didn't know whether to
| finish his sentence or not.
Awoman out canvassing for the
Salvation Army home fund says one
| the other day looked so interested
that she waxed quite fiowery and
made much more of a speech than
| she had at other places. When she
| finally stopped to give the man a
| chance to write the big check which
she could see coming. he replied, ''No
speak English. Do know, do know"
/ Il
him understand with a sign language
what she wanted, he put his hand
into his pocket and brought forth a
| bright. shiny nickel. which he placed
on the counter in front of her. She
| left with the feeling that he must be-
lieve thoroly in the expression, what
ever it may be in his language, which
in English means, Talk is cheap
| One OF the young lieutenants who
has recently returned from France OBJ
jects to the way the young girls take
| hold when they go to dance. He
| says. 81 can't get onto the stops or
| any place but on their feet when they
get that strangle hold on me, which
seems to be the latest with the youLg-
er set" No, girls, he isn't a "rube''
or a boob" but is one of the boys
who has danced all his life in the
society set and has always been up
on the latest steps and he may be
| able to get used to the strange hold
Who can say? Far be it from
AGATHA.
