81 used to cry when mother made
me go to the school girl and boy en-
tertaipments given by my classmates,
and to which. of course. was always
invited. A three or four hour session
on the rack would have been no more
exquisite torture to me than the time
I spent hiding out in the dressing
room, or tagging some other couple.
or clinging like a drowning person to
some good nature little boy on whom
my hostess had wished me, knowing
with every aching fiber in my soul,
that nobody wanted me, that for some
reason 1 could not fathom, didn't
belong, and that lacked the thing the
other girls had that made the boys
want to be with them.
But mother was adamant to my
tears. She made me go no matter how
much 1 suffered, for she said that if
didn't go everywhere people would
cease asking me. and I would drop out
and be forgotten. And she said that
popular with the boys. but in that she
was mistaken. Being a siren isn't
matter of scientific skill or expert
knowledge. It's gift.
when I was grown the situation
was even worse. / had a big coming
out party. 1 have always had the love-
lest clothes money will buy. 1 am
asked everywhere. and mother sees
that 1 go, and always it is the same
story. 1 paper the walls, and sit. and
smile, the smile that won't come off.
and suffer the tortures of the damned
while my mother and my long suffer-
ing hostess work like recruiting Off
GERS, drafting unwilling slackers to
dance with me, or take me into supper.
the TlV Christian
martyrs have nothing on the line of
girls sitting on the anxious bench
around any ball room, and why their
fatuous mothers make them endure
this humiliation of seeing themselves
fouted and passed over is beyond my
comprehension. None of US really en-
Joy martyrdom and there isn't one of
us who wouldn't a million times rather
save our faces by staying at homo,
and at least pretending that we pre-
ferred reading to dancing.
Il know that when see my mother
advancing on me. dragging an Twill
ing man after her, and with the light
of a deathless optimism that maybe
he will take a fancy to me in her eyes,
that 1 could die of shame.
II often wonder that the mt theirs
of US unattractive girls never Sc Sc
how Inundated We are when we see
them trying to hire men to pay US at
tention by feeding them, or t. Ling
them to the theater, or riding them
around In motors. and that they do
not realize that we feel like slav es on
the block when they hawk us around
the marriage market places.
Perhaps if they did. they would
not show US how anxious they are to
marry US off, and would let US jour
ney to the spinsters' retreat without
being ma de to feel that we have been
a disgrace to the family. because men

Topekans in a few days will have
an opportunity to show their appre-
citation OF the establishment of the
national headquarters of the Victory
highway commission in this city. The
Victory highway will be the shortest
and the most scenic route across the
country from the Pacific to the At
iantic and it will receive the support
of the government and the states thru
which it passes. 1t has been approved
by widely known men, including
President Harding. All signs from
Topeka. to Denver and Topeka to
Kansas City will state the number OF
miles to the Kansas capital and tour
lists must stop here to procure their
maps for the remainder of their trip
The highway will not only be OF a
practical and beneficial nature but It
win bear the sentiment of memorial
to the men who gave their lives in the
Great War. It is a nationwide move
nlent and Topeka is especially fortu-
nate in being chosen as the first
city" Topekans will be asked to
take out memberships in the organl-
cation to the amount of only $4,000.
1t is a splendid advertisement to the
city and one that will increase In
value each year. It means as much
as another railroad to the town and It
deserves unqualified support.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. 3.-WHEAT-It was
quite apparent from the outset that the
which was SO conspicuous late
last week, was temporarily ut an end. Ae-
tive buying by eastern interests found the
quite a change in the general character of

decrease of more than ten million bushels,
while the United States visible, in face of
large receipts and smaller elearances IN
board reported 100000 bushels mainly

day and it was also reported that Japan
and China had taken 1.2J00o0 bushels of
Pacific coast wheat last week. The local
cash market was strong with premiums
higher for good grades. Country offer
ings to arrive light. We would not care to
the recent break and having In mind that
liquidation has been very thoro.
CORN-New low lie, Is were established
early in the day but the market showed
good resistance thereafter and later in the
session a short covering movement set In
coineident with the posting of the visible
supply showing a decrease of fzdOOO
The cash market was lower at the start on
receipts of 1,475 cars. but closed firm at

futures market appears in order.

most of the session, meeting good buying
on the small decline followed later by
rather aggressive short covering. The visi-
