Mr.. and Mrs. c. b Mitchell, 1881
| Central Park avenue, announce the
! engagement of their daughter, LEAN
| to Mr., RAYMOND D. Mason, son OF
Mrs. J. D. Mason. The wedding will
take place in october:
September rs, 1920.
Dear Elizabeth: We certainly owe
the brides in this town vote OF
/ thanks, for if it wasn't for the affairs
| of the brides and their friends there
would not be very much happening
/ socially. The older women in Topeka
/ haven't had a party for ages. One
little bride has the most wonderful
stock of linens, and they are all mono
] grained, even the dust cloths have en-
broidered initials on them She has
one hundred and forty monogramed
| pieces.
Would you believe it. Elizabeth. that
lsome of the mothers in town whose
girls are in the thick of sorority af-
fairs have not hardly seen their busy
daughters for two or three days. They
know they are around somewhere, but
that's all. It's certainly hard to try
and run down some of those young
women by telephone, fact it is almost
impossible. I called the other day at
one of the frat houses and asked for
news. One of the men answered and
| after hemming and having and clear
ing his throat he managed to say
Gould you call later on, no ones here
now, and I don't know anything, I'm
only a freshman. 1 just Joined this
fraternity the other day
| We certainly had the prettiest we'd
! ding here this week; one of the bridal
party was an army man and had been
j in newspaper work, and another OF
1.-THE bridal party who was also an army
! man, was late at the service and
slipped in just in time to take his
place marching out. One afternoon
last week at a social gathering, a girl
who is supposed TO be engaged. but
won't admit it, was there. But she
certainly must be, for she talked about
white gold carved wedding rings and
overstuffed living room furniture and
gathered up all the recipes any one at
the gathering knew for devils food
cake and cauliflower pickles. The
other girls have set the date for the
first of the year, but you never can
tell. At this same affair, when they
weren't talking about chill sauce. the
were speaking of Mason jars and rub
bers and how they made the grocery
bill swell.
Did tell you about the Topeka man
who, with his bride has been touring
the east in a big Packard car? They're
coming home next week and they say
the bride, who is not quite twenty yet
is mighty charming person. Also did
tell you aoout the Topeka woman
who was married several weeks age
and who gave her chum a $500 bill
to buy her wedding things with? They
went down town one morning and the
chum who is married remarked thai
she hadn't had so much fun since she
had bought her own wedding clothes
Five hundred dollars won't buy very
much in these days, however. Thi:
same bride had lovely electric coupe
given her by her husband the day they
were married. FRANCES.
