A LETTER FROM ONE WHO LOVES
THE HIGH LIGHTS.
Now that the commandments are
over, and the town has settled down
to quiet, how are we going to exist
suppose there will be nothing to do
but motor, and swim, and yawn, and
occasionally get up energy for a mid
summer dance.
But what concerns me is, how you
poor S. RS are gong to scrape up any
news for our jaded appetite There
won't be a speck of news upon which
to fatten, unless you get it at Gage
park, and even then maybe you'll not
feel like getting up for some of the
sunrise swimming parties.
They tell story about one Topeka
benedict who couldn't find. his, bath
ing suit anywhere, one day last sum-
mer, and accused everybody else of
swiping it. When he reached home
he found that he had it on under his
other clothes.
Another time a popular and viva
cious woman went out to go SWIM
ming, expecting to hang her clothes
on a hickory limb. and not go near
the water. She had a fetching, brand
new suit, and naturally did not want
to spoil it or do anything to cause it
to shrink, especially as she realized
that she was gaining in weight, and
desired the suit to fit her thru its
first season anyway.

of mischief, pushed her in, and her
companions all laughed and refused
to rescue her from a watery grave.
She flounced and floundered between
yells, to the delight of the other mem
bers of the party, and finally, in sheer
desperation, struck out and did a
right good job of swimming, tho she
had never before made the effort
Thus does that instinct of self-preser-
walton oftimes serve.
But the joke of it was that she
I'could have waded out without the eff
fort of learning how to take strokes
| had she known, for the water at that
point was not above her knees.
