THE LETTER OF A DEBUTANTE.
Dear S. R.:-The new year has
started on its way and 1 suppose you
are beginning it with a heap of reso-
buttons which is still as high as it was
on New Years day when they were
made. I suppose you resolved to do
something kind for some one every
day, to never speak a cross word to
anyone, to be considerate of your enc
mics as we'll as your friends, and to
never say thing uncomplimentary of
anyone, or isn't that included in the
heap of resolutions of the S. r.?
Did you hear about a certain party
One of the men who attended was
heard to say the middle of the week
that he wasn't over the effects of that
evening yet. and that he was just be-

be very sure whether he was looking
at one or two objects. Yes. and all
that right in quiet. peaceful Topeka.

known that some pretty American girl
was the inspiration thru it all.
A boy whose parents have moved to
California, but who is attending Kan

fearing the son was coming down with
a fever or something, it seemed neces-
sary to wire for the father who came
on the first train he could get. The
son soon recovered, in fact was not
very i'll, hut the father remained for
a nice little visit in Lawrence. Sc the
story goes. Some are worried for fear
the young man may have frequent at
