The leading woman with Otis Skin
ner was startlingly like one of the
very charming girls of the town,
Washburn college girl, and a Theta,
except that she was not nearly so
pretty and attractive, and her hair
was different color.

A pretty little game of Pussy
wants a corner" is being enacted in
Topeka. as a result of the house short
age, and the need of people to have
roofs-over their heads. Some time ago
prominent family living in Fillmore
street bought one of the show places
of the town in Buchanan street. \
young couple bought or expected to
buy. the first mentioned house in Fill
more street. selling their own home
also in Fillmore street, to a prCspec-
tive benedict. The parents Of ths
young couple were to live with them.
giving up their place in a fashionable
apartment to the people who had SOLD
the Buchanan street residence.
1t develops now that the younG
couple before referred to did not bu$
the house in Fillmore street. for rea-
sons that caused the deal to fall thru.
The house they had almost bought
has been purchased by another bene
dict-tO-be.
Now the moot question is. what
will all the affected parties do? The
young people will probably take their
own house back again. unless the deed
has been recorded; the parents of the
young woman will therefore keep
their apartment. That will mean that
the original owners of the Buchanan
street property will have no place to
light, nor the first mentioned pros
pective benedict and his bride.
OF course it isn't anybCdy's husi-
ness except those Immediately con-
cerned, but you can't prevent the
town from worrying about it.
