THERE'S A MAN IN OUR TOWN
Who is spending his vacation with
his Wife, in the east, and according
TO his tale he is fooling away a good
share of his time sampling salads and
sandwiches in all the tea rooms, res
taurants and cafes in New York City.
My wife" confides the man in our
town, thinks that by eating around
at different places she is going to &C
quire several dozen new salad and
sandwich filling recipes so that when
her sewing, embroidery, bridge, whist
and all her other clubs meet with her
this winter she'll have something new

Topeka, Kan. Sept. IT, 1921.
Dear ElizabethS. Something SO funny
happened the other day that I must
tell you about it. I went into shine
parlor and being of a curious dispose
uon, inquired as to the whereabouts
OF the trousers guards which used to
De elamped on ones ankles when they
CLIMBED up into the chair for shine.
"Oh them" answered the polish ap-
pier, rusty and lost they are, I.
oetcha we amt seen a lady in here
with any skirts that had made friends
with her ankles in two years now"
All OF which makes US wonder if the
long skirt is coming back into feminine
FAVOR. a well known actress who has
returned from Paris declared that the
skirt that comes to the ankle or
above will reach this country
by fall, as they are wearing them long
in Paris.
Everyone seems to be interested in
clothes just now. From more than
one direction the past week we have
been hearing Topeka women com
plain, wondering what they are to do.
They say their summer clothes are
going to pieces, it's-too late to make
new summer ones, it's too early and
too warm to begin on the wooden
things, and what's body to do? We
can't answer that but one thing we do
know and that is each afternoon on
the Avenue you will find more and
more of the women you meet wearing
smart little fur checkers, so fall and
winter must not be SO far away after
al.
One Of our smart society women
here who has had her hair bobbed
is having the best time when she is at
home with her shorn head, but when
she is out of the house and away it is
all very carefully pinned in and
tucked down so no one would suspect
the difference. The bobbed hair idea
instead of dying out must be increas-
ing in popularity, for one of the steam
ship lines has put a woman barber on
one of its big ships starting across the
ocean, so now it's even possible to
have ones hair bodied even if you
are right out in the middle of the
Atlantic.
Several days ago. we saw a con-
firmed bachelor Chats what he is
ing conversation with the pastor of
the church to which he belongs but
very seldom attends. We caught just
one sentence and it was illuminating.
looked at with a matrimonial eye.
He was saying. 'fWell of course it
doesn't matter to me, but she wants
the double service So" One more
wedding to write about.
One of our poor harassed Topeka
husbands whose wife is an Alpha Phi
has remarked that If the rummage
sale thefgirls were having hadn't end
ed last Saturday he wouldn't have had
anything left to wear but what he
wears down to the office each day
The girls are raising money for a
chapter house and according to re-
they won't have even one pair of
hiking shirts or trousers left if an
other sale is held.
It's queer how peoples ideas about
things change. For instance. there's
n man in our town who has always
thought he had nice looking drive
way and an easy place to run his car
