row Wilson, while the young woman's
father is prominent in politics on the
Republican side OF the fence. It is
said that the girl, up to the present
| time, has remained neutral on the sub
! ject, but the man knows of the ad
miration she holds for her fathers
views and is in desperate straits.
| All of which talk about girls re-
minds me, Grace, that if you have
ever noticed the way of the feminine
gender, when a girl is not popular as a
date" she sort of draws into her shell
and pretends that she is a man hater,
when she really isn't. she really isn't,
she is only doing it in self defense.
The same principle holds good when a
girls dancing program isn't filled. She
suddenly has a headache or is tired or
her corns hurt, or something.
We have a girl here who is just as
pretty and sweet and has lots more
common sense than some of US, who
has taken this attitude, just because
| for some reason or other she is not
| popular with the men in her set. 1t
| is certainly queer that a few of our
bachelors who are always casting their
| eye around for some charming widow
| or other don't happen to discover what
| a lovely girl has been in their midst.
They won't find it out until some out
| of town person claims her.
wonder if New York city has any

| Country club, a dozen or more of
| them were out to dinner.
One of the girls of the younger set
was presented with a lovely pair of
six dollar hose the other day, all be-
cause the ones she was wearing one
| evening 1--WE don't know whether or
not they were the six dollar kind)
were burned with the ashes from the
cigarette a young man caller was
smoking. The young man presented

| Automobile statesmen here have
been trying out car after car for a
west side family who has decided to
| buy. The daughter of the family has
| had the pleasure of riding with all
the drivers, and sometimes, SO says
that young person, they send along
mighty good looking ones too. The
family had already decided on the car
before all the trials, but the girl be-
| ing sort of lonesome and having moth
ing. to do, decided TO furnish herself
with little bit of excitement.
| We heard an interesting story the
other day about a woman who was
| living with her second husband. All
at once they secured divorce and
not long after, it happened that she
decided to marry again and sent for
husband No. 2, deciding to tell him
herself that she was going to marry.
She sort of thought that it would be
| easier for him to hear by word OF
mouth than it would be for him to
read it in print. When she had fin
ished husband No. 2 contributed to
her surprise by announcing you've
got nothing on me, I'm going to be
married next week
Last winter when the Ross Crane
lectures were being given at the audi
torium one of our Topeka newspaper
men and a dark haired girl had a
front seat at each evening lecture. 1t
suddenly seems that perhaps some
| day they are going to make use of the
| lectures they heard on planting the
Home Grounds" the t'Servantless
House" etc. OF course it would be
servantless if it belonged to news
paperman, did you ever hear of one
/ of us who possessed more than sim
gle dollar at a. time?
Some interesting news came our
| way the other day when we heard that
a. former Topeka boy who had a try OF
several years here sowing his wild
| oats, has gone out to the coast, met a
fine girl, fallen in love with her and
she has done more for him than hours
of parental lecturing. Some day we
are going to have a lovely wedding to
write about there. Talking about we'd
dings I made a horrible mistake the
other day in a news item I gave a
Il poor bachelor man a wife and he has
never possessed one. I don't know
whether or not hurt his feelings but
perhaps I rather surprised several
girls in town who have hopes"
