THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who was late one day last week at
a meeting of her bridge club and gave
a beautifully worded excuse to the
hostess, but what really happened to
cause her tardiness was this: That
noon, it being one of those dreadfully
hot days of last week, her husband
persuaded her to drive him down town
in the car. They were almost ct their
destination when bang went one of
the back tires, and they sent for the
repair man. In the meantime there
the woman in our town sat. she was
ftoo thrifty a soul to send for taxi
and she couldn't get out and take
street car home. She was wearing
house dress which had seen better
days 1t was old, faded, torn and not
very, fresh. And besides that she had
7 hole in the heel of one of her stock
ings and on her feet was a pair of old
brown bedroom slippers, one with a
pom-pom off and one on. So there
she sat, and waited.

To be buried underneath a winters
snow, long weary months. to have
sas fifty years ago and then to have
been laid on the shelf in a closet and
forgotten for over twenty years. are
the experiences of a dainty china doll
now in a Topeka art store. But let
the doll tell her own story:
Fm' doll head and I'm to be
made up into a telephone cover, with
dress of blue and yellow silk to
match my eyes and hair. 1 don't
think I'll like being a telephone cover,
but then I'm only a doll head with a
bit Of history.
Over eighty years ago was made in
Dublin, ireland, of the finest, whitest
| china that could be found. 1 heard
some one say the other day that doll
heads like mine were not made any
more. I lived in Ireland for long
time and belonged to a little girl who
made me beautiful clothes. I wore a
| little bombazine dress of green and
white stripes. There was crinoline all
around the hips and 1 had a little
[ BASQUE and bonnet all made by hand
