A real home, said somebody wise
one time, is not made arbitrarily. 1t
grows by effort and love- For each
stone in the foundation and each beam
of the roof there has been some eff
fort and some sacrifice on the part of
those who are building it. To it they
have given a part of their very minds
and hearts and it is a building with a
SOUL like no other building in all the
world.
AS the women of Topeka sit sewing,
stitch after stitch these afternoons. on
dolls or aprons or tea towels. as they
cook for the food sales as they leave
pleasures and leisure to spend hours
at the telephone or go about on err
rands necessary in arranging a con-
cert or party. the club house is grow
ing; not stone on stone yet, but the
heart of it, the kindly woman heart of
it that will make it different from any
other community building in all the
world, is being formed. With the
spirit made the outer garment of
stone and wood is sure to follow.
And at the same time there are hun
dreds of happy children who count
among their cherished possessions the
saucy little silk stocking dolls, made
by Mrs. ]. r. Skeletons team and there
are brides and older housekeepers and
daughter helpers who will wash dishes

ing the charming little aprons Mrs. A.
| A. Robinson's team is making. These
! dainty aprons are made from barred
or figured dimity. cut like butchers
apron and embroidered in a flower de-
sign on pockets and across the front
with outlines of black setting off the
colors.
How many a girl hears this when
ever she goes into a Mary.

Mary hates 70 wear them but with
| these artistic creations she will form
the habit-and at the same another
stone is added to the firm foundation.

There is something about the meals
one INDUCES in at a cafeteria that is
like impressionistic painting or verse
libre or socialism. 1t is ultra modern,
uncontrolled by rule or precedent and
those who frequent them can work
DOT their individualistic tendencies by
| the menus they improvise. That is
probably the reason for the success
| of cafeterias. Among the trays no.
| ticed at a popular cafeteria yesterday
were the following: high school
| girl-salad, roll. pineapple, olives,
milk. Her mother insists on the milk.
A business woman took cottage
cheese sweet potatoes and gravy,
pie and ice cream. A little old lady
put on her tray celery, salad, pudding
and ice cream. A specialized man
gathered from the counter meat and
potatoes. beans. tomatoes: two rolls
coffee. pie. He seemed to lack i'm
agination, Another business girl chose
soup, two pices of chocolate cake and
ice cream. A college girl downtown
for the day took graham bread, pota-
toes with gravy, milk. prunes.
The woman who looks over the
trays and hands out the proper check
so quickly is regular wizard. for
there is no rule or reason for the
combinations and each tray is as diff
ferent from the other as are the in
dividuals who file by the -odorous
/ steam table.
