THERE ARE PEOPLE IN TOWN
Who it is said read the society colin
for various reasons. Last summer the
housewives of Topeka thought that
| the villainous. bold burglars read the
personals to find out who was away
on their vacations, the real estate men
read it to find out who has arrived in
town to make their home here, society
| matrons read it to find out who was at
who's party, but a Topeka young man
who is to be married has an entirely
new use for the colin. When, for one
whole long day, the young person on
wealth, is too busy to even see him,
and he knows not where she is. he
carefully reads all the parties. selects
| the one that she is then attending
and calls her at that particular place
on the telephone. Thus the society
colin proves its usefulness, even to a
prospective bridegroom.
