Dear Elizabeth: While I'm waiting
for you to arrive home Thursday III
send you a little note of a few things
which have happened.
A story has been told recently which
happened while a Topeka couple were
on their honeymoon down south visit
ing the bridegroomS people. Now the
wife wears a shoe which is not sc
small as it might be and the husband
wears shoe which is not SO large
as it might be. One morning the

room and sat chatting with her. AL
at once they spied a pair of lovely
shoes before the open fire. and the
next thing the bride heard was those
two sisters raving over what lovely
new shoes Earl, her husband, had
when they were her very own. The
woman says to this day she can fee
the embarrassment which she felt OF
that morning several years ago wheI
she appeared downstairs later in thu
day wearing those selfsame shoes
Makes one wonder if the Topeka maj
who has SO small feet and who wa
married several weeks ago, going t.
California to spend the winter, will
have any trouble in getting his wife
and his shoes mixed up.
The habit girls have of washing
crepe de chine or georgette blouse an,
rolling Ii up in a bath towel befor'
ironing, almost ruined one blouse las
week. The man of the house, search
ing for some rags with which to wasl
the windshield of his car and also t.
wipe a little bit of the dirt off tn
i seats, came across a ragged bath towe
and a wet rag lying on tie kitchen
table, which he appropriated and Sc
out for the garage TO wash the car
While he was busy rubbing off tn
dirt and CRIME of the road which hai
settled on it, he remarked to his wife
who had followed him out, Seems t
me that as expensive as pearl button
are. you would cut them off tn
] clothes before you throw them away
, And then they discovered that tn
