A little poem by Foss appears just
inside the cover in the new year books
which the Woman's club has issued
for the season 1920-21 and is as fol-
lows:
Where there is work there is rest,
And It's no where beside,
Tho you travel all lands,
And you sail every tide.
Where is rest? Go to work,
And your spirit renew,
For no man can rest
Who has nothing to do"
The new books also contain a list
of the new members. which is the
largest membership list that has been
published, containing four hundred
and ninety-one names.

Topeka. Kan, Oct. 9, 1920.
Dear Elizabeth: I'm certainly
sorry that that Y. w. C. A. board is
going to transfer you down to Gal
veston-down to the land of you all,
northahs and boadahs,' but you will
meet three or four Topeka women
down there who attended Bethany in
their girlhood and become acquainted.
Did you see Grace Overmeyer, former
ly of the Capital, at the Kansas folks
picnic held in New York city?
We were certainly all excited here
one day this week for it has been ru-
mored that a colored lodge or organ
iZation was planning to buy lots right
next to where the new Woman's club
house is going to stand. that is when
the fund grows big enough to allow it
to stand, and every one was talking
about it, but we don't know yet
whether they will get them or not.
There's a man in Topeka who has
boen an ardent admirer of a Topeka
widow now on the coast and some one
told me the other day that he is going
out there pretty soon. I'm patiently
waiting until they send me the an
nouncement, which is sure to follow.
Speaking of announcements makes
one think of trousseaux and some of
the brides here, Elizabeth, have per-
fectly wonderful things. One bride
numbered among her hand embroid
cred linens one piece from Italy. which
had been given her. 1t is rumored
that one of our brides is not to be a
bride after all. OF course you never
can tell. perhaps she will choose a ca
rcer. One of our clever little society
girls who is entering the business
world said the other day that she new
er thought that the time would come
when she would find no fun in loafing,
but it had and she is going to work
soon.
Friday was hobo day at Washburn
college here and some of those boys
in the parade did sure look sleepy.
They said they had stayed up all night
to guard the campus the night before.
I thought the war was over and no one
had to do guard duty, but they say
they have to guard the campus against
K. U. marauders. And one night
when they were watching they cap
tured a K. U. man with a bucket of
yellow paint. who was attempting to
paint everything a lovely yellow for
them. Just stacks and stacks of
Washburn folks are going to Lawrence
today to see the Washburn-K. U.
game.
Say, Elizabeth, it sure is funny.
Sometimes I am in a position to find
out things. For instance a woman will
call to tell me of something which
she perhaps is going to have and has
asked certain ones to assist Then
she will mention that such and such
a one can't come because they are to
have guests. So make a mental note
of it and call them. asking for their
guests names. Would you believe it,
Eliza beth, sometimes they don't have
any guests and hadn't had any. 1 do
believe that splitting headache
which lasts for several days is one OF
the safest of excuses, don't you?
One of our brides told her friends
ing to Colorado. but they really went
east.~ Wasn't that clever of them
And they escaped the usual rush of
rice and shoes. 81 FRANCES.
