Dear Elizabeth: l didn't write to
you last week because I couldn't think
of anything interesting to say and I
didn't want to bore you by saying
things you didn't want to hear, but
this week so many things have hap
pened. To begin with. last Monday
morning, a woman called me by
| phone to tell me she didn't like the
way I wrote up her daughters we'd
ding. Wishing to be really obliging, 1
asked her what was the matter and
can you imagine it, she didn't like it
because I forgot to say the brides bou-
quet had maidenhair fern in it, Well
such is life made up out of so small a
trifle as maidenhair fern.
Elizabeth, there's a girl here visit
ing her parents. She was married this
spring to an out-of-toWn man and the
gossips say she's left home and hus-
band and has come back to the pa
rental roof. but you never can tell.
Then there's a Topeka man who is Wis
iting here from another state. His
wife, who is not with him wrote to
some one here that she was going to
sue him for divorce while he's gone.
You'd surely be shocked should I tell
you who it is. but I'm not. And then
! something else has happened. You
know that nice boy who was engaged
for so long to the little girl I told you
about. Well, she was married just a
few weeks ago and not to him either.
A few days before the wedding date
the chap with whom she had broken
| the gagement made date" with
| her and she remarked afterward, that
/ il surely did seem good to see him
once more, but she went right on and
married the other man. Things don't
come out right, do they? One young
couple who has been off on their
| honeymoon trip "snuck" back INTO
town and no one knew it Their
| crawd planned a charivari and they
| outwitted them by driving to Tecum-
| sch and getting the train It's no Won
| der that they actually crept back on
| their tiptoes for fear the bunch would
| have a brass band down at the depot.
/ oh yes. 1 almost forgot-there's a To-
peka girl working in a down town
store who is wearing huge Thousand
dollar so they say) diamond engage
ment ring and the giver is a Topeka
| society man. All her girl 1r1enos are
/ green with envy
I heard the funniest thing the other
day, At a gathering of society women
one afternoon a snobbish person with
upIifted eyebrows and hands folded
very conapIacently in her lap, re-
marked to the hostess, 1T is certainly
horrible the way that Topeka society
is being broken into. One never
! knows to whom he is talking and what
they are-perhaps one might even be
talking to a washwoman. How un-
| thinkablei" And the hostess, who has
married into one of the most proni-
nent families socially (now) in tho
city, remarked. It's no worse to be
talking to a washwoman than to hel
daughter is it? I remember when
was a girl and mother was working Il
put me thru school that I delivered
washings at your door. And I'm no
ashamed of it, either" And the snoO
Dish woman naturally didn't know
what to say next.
Something else funny happened al
on Mo lday morning, when two mer
here put in a claim for articles stoleI
off their cars. They are well known
have been pals since they entered higf
school. Well you remember them
they were in our class Their wive
are away for the summer in Colorado
and they drove home from some mys
FERROUS engagement which kept then
until o'clock in the morning anS
} having to get down town early tn
