| Topeka, Kan, Feb. 10. 1921.
Dear Elizab beth: There hasn't been
any excitement at all here this week.
/ and honest-to-goodness we're getting
J so the announcement that someone is
| going to entertain their bridge club
! is as exciting as an elopement would
| be ordinarily. Perhaps it's due to
Lent and perhaps it's due to some
thing else. Now if we were like that
little Kansas City paper the Indepen-
| dent, we would come right out and
say what was the matter, but then
we don't 90 things like that here, all
| of which makes me think, it's said by
! the scandalmongers Gar be it from me
to peddle scandal Elizabeth) that in a
Topeka family where the long legged
bird is to stop soon, the wife has pick
4 ed up her belongings and departed
for the safety and security of the par
entail roof tree, where neither the
bright Kansas avenue White Way
| moth, nor home brew doth corrupt
/ and where scandalously flirtatious
women break not in and steal ones
| husbands affections. While we're
| deep in scandal we might as well trot
out the rest of it. We heard that
| Topeka society woman is without a
! maid and it all happended like this:
The maid has an eye for good looking
shoes, SO the other. day when it was
the maids day out, the woman in our
town, whose feet happen to be the size
of the maids borrowed pair of good
looking tan oxfordS from the absent
girls room and went to a club meet
ing. The maid came home before
the woman, missed her shoes, and re-
suits were, a maidless mistress.
That was a funny little incident you
told me about whenever the ice in the
park ponds in New, York is strong
enough for skaters that a red ball is
shown atop of a pole in the park and
also is reproduced on street flags.
red circle on white. And it was GER
tainly queer that those japanese
skaters thought that we were honor
l. ing their holiday by flying their flags.
! I was talking to a Topeka woman who
has just returned from New York and
said one night the first of the week
she and a companion sat watching the
after theater crowd pass up and down
| the huge corridors in the PennSyl-
vania hotel and that on that particular
occasion they did not see even one
spring hat. Everyone was wearing big
wrappy fur coats and winter hats. She
said that they did not begin to see the
spring hats until they reached Chicago,
then little farther out they saw some
more and when they reached Kansas
! City they burst forth in full bloom, red
5traws and everything.
( A Topeka woman received card
from Washington, D. c., last week
with one of those endless chain prayers
on it saying, God bless our sailors
and soldiers, and keep them in the
hollow of Thy hand" and now each
| day she's writing and sending out the
prayer, not because she wants to, but
because she is too superstltiouS not to.
! By next Tuesday according to directions
something perfectly wonderful in the
| line of joys ought to happen to her.
Talking about sailors makes me think,
| don't you remember you have told me
| that story twice about the little boy
named Max Goldberg, who has just re-
turned from Europe and who went
over by mistake. because he was fool
ling around on the Kroonland just be-
| fore it sailed. He had delivered a box
of flowers and when he decided to go
back to the telegraph office, found that
he was on the raging Atlantic, so they
took him over. sent his mother radio
that he was all safe and put the
lyoungster to-work peeling potatoes to
pay for his passage.

concert at the auditorium Thursday
