! THERE'S A MAN IN OUR TOWN
Who has his share of curiosity or
perhaps it's only the habit of seeing
things TO a finish, anyway this trait
! caused him to miss his street car the
other noon. He stoOC at the corner
waiting for the az coaching car
| when he saw a very pretty girl come
out of a house two doors down the
street, trip lightly down the steps and
waIktrapidly toward him. When she
had gone a few feet she stopped and
denly in front of a house where sew
I eraI men were at work painting. She
/ hesitated momentarily, turned and ran
.Iup the steps again, and disappeared
within. In the meanwhile the street
car came along, and the man in our
town cheerfully missing the car stood
J backed up against a telephone pole
waiting for the pretty girl to reappear.
! Finally the door opened and again the
girl walked rapidly down the sidewalk
and toward the man and he saw what
she had forgotten-her paint.
A luncheon was given this noon at
the Chocolate Shop by active members
Of the Sigma Iota and rushees. There

Topeka women who have an eye for
detail and who usually look their hus-
bands over before leaving the house
for social function or before he
starts down town in the morning, may
wish to know some of the things
which are going to be in style this
winter for the masculine gender 1t
IS said that the necktie style is towards
smaller designs with especial reference
to smaller knots. Striped are to be
the vogue, and knitted ties will be
good, particularly in the rougher
weaves. Hats are to be much smaller,
| shades of brown. olives and greens in
rough finish will be very popular. Sack
coats will be about an inch shorter
than at present and waistline effects
will be low and natural The sack
suits will have a natural broader
shoulder with soft roll lapel and no
stiffeninz of flat effects. Loose drape
effects will predominant in overcoats
with a good proportion of belts being
worn on heavy winter garments.
