Dear Elizabeth: What an exciting
time you must have had last week
with that burglar and has he been ar
rested? You had about as thrilling a
scare as a Topeka man had this week.
He and his wife belong to the smart
set in town and evidently they didn't
say the II will' part in the love,
honor and obey" clause of their wed
ding service. One day last week when
the world didn't revolve according to
the ideas of the wife. everything went
wrong about the house and it was hot
in the bargain. she and her husband
started to fussing. Finally the wife
with wild glare in her eye ran out
side. grabbed up the sickle with which
her husband had been cutting grass
and threatened to chop him in bits 1
wouldn't be a bit surprised, If 1 were
that wife, were my husband to get a
divorce. Talking about divorces. that
filed her suit yet. but she Nsaid she
was going to-, so We are waiting.
Whenever it comes, I suppose well
have. some choice bits of scandal aired.
Several Kansas City women certain
ly have been receiving all sorts OF cruel
words from q Topeka woman who was
down there and saw them smoking in
public in a tea room, but at least they
don't hide their light underneath a
bushel" bunch of Topeka girls who

barrage when who should show up
but the hostess's dad. She ran out in
the hall and before dad had a chance
to sniff the air she had him pointed
basem to see what was the
matter with the furnace-it had been
smoking all day By the time ne had
read justed all the campers and re-
turned, the living room had been
aired and they breathed easily once
more.
intended to tell you last week,
Elizabeth, about the charming Theta
girl who is out in California. She has
a whole flock of oil wells and is simply
rolling in money, but is just as un-
selfish and unspoiled as can be. Well.
she's engaged to a former Washburn
man. a captain overseas. and he's now
down in Texas. experimenting some
oil wells of his own. I think we may
look forward to a lovely wedding in
the fall. 81
Do you remember the notice you
sent me last week from the Times
about the girl who formerly lived here
getting married? Well. when I saw
her name thought of that awfully hot
night we went down to the auditorium
to attend high school commencement
exercises. She was graduated that
night Do you remember the huge
hair ribbon she wore2 It covered the
