Drew 51S Clay, street.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. Z, 1890
Dear Elizabetb: Now that the excite
ment Of the primaries is over. we can
walk down the street for awhile with
out shaking hands right and left with
some person whose picture you re-
member having seen on a card handed
to you and which you stored away in
your bag to use for shopping list.
Some Of the candidates would be sur
priSed to see the list of groceries, hair
nets, powder, hosiery and everything
imaginable which is generally written
by the feminine gender on the back
of their cards. One candidate in this
town rented a barn two weeks ago to
use for a garage. Some of his friends
inquired of him why he was renting
the barn as he had no car. and the
candidate frankly admitted that IL he
were nominated at the primaries, he
expected to win at the election, and
then he would, buy a car. Some of
the men who were running for Office
spent last Tuesday evening very quiet-
~. I just know, Elizabeth, that II
any of US. either you or l. had been
in this exciting campaign We would
have eamped in frClt of the bulletin
board at The State Journal building.
One OF the lawyers in town who was
a candidate spent the evening moving
the yard, doing the milking and then
finished up by playing with the baby.
He didn't seem in the least bit excited.
The other day standing out in front
of enc of the drug stores 1 saw one OF
TOpekas most popular young men
with a vanity case in his hands, ana
he was putting on some makeup. II
won't surprise you, tho, when I tell
you it was the one who, before he
drops in to call on a girl, finds out in
a quiet way whether she likes straight
or Wavy hair. I wonder if he'll be
so obliging if he ever marr4es. May
be he ana his wife VIII be forever
borrowing each others curling irons
or rouge box. It certainly would be
annoying to have an engagement down
town and find out that Marvin had
used all your powder and the last bit
of rouge.
While we are talking about make
up, something happened last Sunday
at one of the down town churches A
girl who evidently had dressed in a
hurry continued to arrange her make
up and clothing so persistentiy that
she distracted attention froEa the servr
ices. She fused with her hair, pow
dered her nose, opened her purse and
consulted its mirror, filed her nails
and arranged her veil. I doubt
whether she heard a word of the SER
mon. fr
One day this week when at a local
beauty parlor I heard an attendant IN
the next booth urging a Mrs. --s
we'll, she's one of Topeka's mighty
fine women, to let her touch up her
