Topeka, Kan, Oct. 1s, 1920.
Dear Elisabeth: And So you are
still in New York City? Well, per-
haps, yen went be sent to Galveston
after ali. Maybe you wouldn't have
been sent down there, Lots of To-
peka people are trying to find both
boarding places and houses to live in.
One Topeka family inserted a blind
advertisement in the paper asking for
a house to rent and they had over a
hundred replies. Lots of them were
from business men who said they
wanted to rent their own homes OF
sell them, to get money to carry On
their business with. Some of the aA-
I Inn
man wrote in asking them II they had
any luck in finding a house that way
to please call a certain Number and
tell him for he was hunting one, too,
And still another man called them up,
SAYING he knew they were hunting a
house, but did they suppose they couia
help him find a place to board and
room his Jersey COW. As soon as one
Young engaged couple here can find a
heuse they are going to be marrleq:
Nowadays after the man proposes ana
the girl says Yes" the length OF the
engagement depends upon when they
can find house,
We haven't had an engagement an
nouaeed here for long time. Ellza-
beth, but there are three or four 81
Fepeka's well known girls who are
almost ready but not quite and then
when they do well have as many
brides as we had in September. one
little Abba Phi out at the college
thiRks she Is engaged, 1 guess, FOR sac
told a Phi Delt man the other day
while they were having some lnHeh az
the College Inn that the new pin she
was going to wear IN a few weeks was
just like his.
Speaking of sorority girls who are
engaged, makes me think of Delta
Gamma girl who is to be married. The
other day at a social affair given feF
her the girls asked where her ring
was, and she admitted that it hadn't
come back yet. 1t seems that the ring
had the habit of returning to the per-
son from whence 1t came on an aver
age of ence every few months.
This seems TO be a romantic letter,
Elizabeth, but I'll Just nave ia tell yeu
about the Clay street girl who Is engi-
neeFiDg little romance all her own.
Her father objects strenuously to the
man she wants to marry and thinks
the engagement Is broken, but it isn't
end the girl and the man are stiii
planning TO he married, but they also
| are hunting Il house. In the meantime
| the giFl is engaged to man the ia
Their approves of and on the nights
that she is out with him she manages
to get In a trifle earlier SO she may
either call OF see the real one few
minutes, should think the father
would have found cut by this time that
IL a girl decidesto marry a man she
| is going to do 1t regardless or what
| everyone says.
There's a woman here who Is So
| eial climber and who is independent
financially. The ether day she came
down on the avenue with lovely new
silk dress and a new hat on. Around
her neck she wore a cunning little
mink piece and on her feet she wore
la pair of pumps. with the heels ali run
over and with two holes in the heel OF
| one stocking and one in the other. !
wonder IL she had forgotten to take
1 NJ PtIf
other day one of the high school girls
| dressed In hurry and when she was
remping madly down the avenue to
| school she happened to look at her
her pumps. She had forgotten to take
off her house slippers. II yeu hear of
any Topekans in New York who are
engaged be sure and tell US for we
want TO hear all about it.

THERE'S A GIRL IN OUR TOWN
| A small youngster of four years,
who is very fond of looking at a book
OF pictures of Hevie stars which q
neighbor possesses. Last night she
was scanning each face thoughtfuliy,
and taking in the details of each pic-
tqFe. Finally she came OF one of
Fatty" Arbuckie, a close up. which
Ishowed something trifle heavier than
lfine down on his hands. "Oh, look," "
she called to the neiEhhor lady, "3ust
see the siiveFs on 'Fatty's' haRds!"
