Topeka, Kan. Oct. %, 1920.
Dear Eliza beth: Well how is New
York's weather? Ours is certainly
fine. One of our Topeka women who
has just returned from Boston. Wash
ington and New York City, said she
went cast with the impression that
they would find winter weather and
all the while she was there she carried
a fur coat around across her arm,
waiting for it to grow cold Elizabeth,
I heard some real gossip the other day.
They say, now don't ask me who they
are. but a woman here is going TO get
a divorce from her husband. but not
for a while yet The husband has
some relatives who have been ex-
pected to leave him a whole lot of
property at their death, but they
haven't died yet and the woman is
waiting until they do before she files
suit for divorce. think the wife must
surely be a sticker for if she can grin
and bear incompatibility now in pow
crty she surely could bear it in wealth
and what'd be the use of her getting
tho decree.
A girl out at Washburn has lost the
frat pin she's been wearing next to
her heart and she's so scared that he
will find out that it's gone she has
borrowed her chum's, the man who
gave the pin to the chum being out of
town. l don't know what they will do
il the chum wants it back before the
missing one has turned up. They say
there's also a girl at the college who
is wearing a new diamond. She went
out of town last weekend but didn't
wear her ring. One can have SO much
better time. 1 suppose, without ones
ball and chain. Speaking of rings,
one girl in this town is surely going to
be wearing a plain gold band one,
soon. The man is one of TOpeka'S
staid old bachelors. the despair of all
mothers who had maria geable daugh-l
ters as far back as fifteen years ago.
You'll sure be surprised to see the an
nounccment when it comes. He takes
the girl riding out West Eighth street
every evening.
More men in this town are going
duck hunting. One of Topeka's doc
tors who is also a bachelor works with
one eye on the sky nowadays looking
and listening for the honk of duck.
He's happy, they say, If he only gets
a glimpse of them as they fly over.
He gets up in the midcie of the night,
and camps up along the river in the
damp and cold waiting FOR a duck to
come along. Rumor says that he too,
is going to surprise us some day by
bringing home bride.N
One of the boys in the dancing set
surely feels like he has been imposed
on. for a girl came along the other day
and collected a dollar and a quarter
from him and he was to receive a bid
to a leap year dance, but he didn't get
it. The girl who took the money was
supposed to be asking him for girl
friend, who was too bashful to speak
her own mind, so he cheerfully do
mated the money and waited for his
supposed partner to call him up. But
she didn't and one night meeting her
on tho street he found she didn't know
anything about it. Wasn't that queer2
Now the man has just about made up
his mind to have no more faith in wo-
mankind. He'll get over it, for a
pretty face can surely work wonders
to resolve like that.
