dings have been held there. The fur
nishings of the chapel are BEAUTIFUL
and interesting. The wainscoating is
made from native walnut lum Der,
which was secured from the banks
of the Kaw river sixty years ago, and
was used in the construction of the
seats in the old Grace cathedral at
Seventh and Jackson. Doctor McClin-
tock's daughter, He;Sn, is at present
carving the panels of the wainscoating
in ecclesiastical designs.
Suspended over the altar is 1.-The
George NJ. Stone. The canvas is ten
by twelve feet. The daughter, Ger
trude, Mrs. Philip Wright Whitcomb,
recently returned from England with
her two children, John McClintock
and Valerie McNair, and her husband,
Mr.. Whitcomb. They were in Eng
land when many of the Zeppelin raids
occurred on London.

Topeka, Kan, June IL, 1920.
Dear Elizabeth: I have tried all
week to find time to write to you but
we have been SO busy with our So
rority affairs honestly, 1 haven't had
one single opportunity. You asked
me when wrote to tell you all about
which ones were wearing diamonds,
and who in the bunch was pairing off.
Well, I'm going to be positively cruel
and make you guess them all. There
are a lot of engagements just budding
forth but some of the buds don't
want it known, for ones father doesn't
approve and then again ones mother
doesn't quite like the man and then
some of them 1 know are engaged but
they haven't quite made up their
minds well enough to Jet the public
know Some I've promised 1 wouldn't
tell about and 1 won't, but maybe
you'll find out about them later on.
The first one, and you surely can
guess who he is, is a Topeka artist
and they say he's engaged to former
Washburn girl. He has been so de-
voted to her that now she's gone to
her home he is quite lost, but his fam
lily say they've found him once more.
You remember, Elizabeth, told
you last week about the popular little
Washburn girl who had a very ardent
admirer with an Irish nickname. Wen,
he followed her out to her home this
week and I wouldn't be surprised to
hear of an engagement any day. And
then you remember the dainty little
Fillmore street girl overheard her
mother telling a friend about some
ones trousseau the other day and L
Just wondered if, she and the Topeka
auto man are to be married soon.
There's the girl who was in our class
in school, the doctors daughter, the
one who was so well liked and was
such a good pal, well she's engaged
to an out OF town man, don't know
his name, and the funniest thing, two
Topeka men are rushing her-and
one of them already is engaged
told YOU last time about the Alpha
Phi girl who claims she is the cause of
the girls getting that big box OF CANDY
the night of the all-night party. Well,
she won't say, not a word. Rememb Der
the girl who had such an important
part in school festivities? She now
has a huge. bluewhite stone. That
person is certainly starting out right.
He's manager of a local concern, too.
And there's one you never will guess!
She's the pretty little olive skinned
musician, the one who was graduated
two years after we were, and who Is
now working in Kansas City. This
fall she is to go to Iowa as the wife of
very solemn. ig1ified college pro-
lessor There's another musician, too,
| but she's a pianist She won't say a
word, but we suspect her. One Topeka
girl who has not made any announce
ment, is getting together the most
wonderful hope chest. Her grand
mother, who is a dear little lady. IS
years of age. has embroidered a whole
| luncheon set and it's the most treas
ured gift in the box. There's one girl
I accused the other day. she is wearing
Phi Delt pin and she shrugged her
shoulders and said that didn't mean
anything for she'd probably be wearing
a half dozen before she decided. She
talked just as tho she were shopping
and trying to decide on the material
that wouldn't fade. She really is shop
ping, too. isn't she?
The funniest thing. tho. happened
the other day. A Topeka girl is er-
gagged to a New York newspaper man.
He frequently has articles in the big
magazines. This spring he wrote up"
his prospective mother-in-law, who
laughingly spoke up when she saw the
article, well, it's certainly unusual
for the son-in-law to profit by his
mother-in-law this early in the game"
l just must close, Eliza beth. here
comes the postman; write me soon.
