Among the advertisements In a le-
cal paper Is one which Is causing a
good deal Of interest both among the
young men and girls. 1t reads as fol-

young lady or widow as a companion
or housekeeper. One who can drive
a car preferred"

ceived several replies. Surprising

THERE ARE SOME VERY OLD
PEOPLE IN OUR TOWN
Who can remember the days when
a felluh took his gurl q buggy riding
and sometimes to an ice cream social
or to the fair. And those were great
days for there had been time when
there were no ice cream sociais and
fairs. Then came a new age bringing
with it the picture show and automo-
bile. There are number of middle
aged people in Topeka who are IA
miliar with IL and know the fun it was
to gather two or four or even six in a
big old car and drive for miles and
miles beneath the white light of the
moon. They we're pretty well content
with that form OF entertainment be-
cause they didn't know any better.
But nowadays a boy can stand in the
good gTaces of his sweetheart only IL
he takes her flying in the sky. A
number of Topeka boys have enter
tained their girls in this way and more
are doing it all the time. What will
be next we wonder
The storytelling hour at PelIetier's
tomorrow from 8 to will be done in
olive drab. 1t is to be a war talk such
as children are sure TO be interested
in. For where Is the little boy or lit
tle girl even, who hasn't wanted to
know just how high a dug-out is and
what kind of a noise a shell makes
looked like. Capt. William T. Mac
Lean will talk to them, and he will
show a number of relies he brought
with him from the front.
