KAGEY ON WAY TO FINLAND
Widely Known Aansan VIII Leave To-
night for Helsingfors.

Charles L. Kagey, recently APP
pointed by President Harding as min
lister to Finland, will say goodbye to
Kansas tonight. Kagey was in To-
peka today for a final farewell with
friends at the state house. He will
leave tonight for Washington and will
said for Helsingfors January 3.
Justice Judson S. West of the su-
preme court and many lawyers in
western Kansas counties were guests
at a dinner given in Kagey's honor
Wednesday night. The dinner was
given by business and professional
men of Beloit. Nearly $50 people at
tended the dinner for the newly ap-
pointed member of the diplomatic
service.
Kagey is one of the most widely
known lawyers in the state. He has
been active in state and Sixth district
politics for a number of years and
was formerly president of the state
bar association. He also served by
appointment as judge of his judicial
district.
Tt is probable that Kagey will re-
turn to the United States late next
year for a short visit. His family will
not go to Finland until next spring.
Kagey. who will arrive in Washington
Saturday, will attend several impor-
tant conferences before sailing for
HeIsingfors.

Tho Knieker Suit.

If your winter thoughts include a
decided aversion to all things wintry
and at the same time a tender regard
for the delightful warmth of a SOUTH
ern sun, you viii be interested to know
that when you pack your trunk to
travel toward the southeastern sea-
coast you can fill it three-quarters full
with sports and semi-sports toys; for
the prevailing tendency is for these
things for Southern wear. The knicker
suit, however, is all important in what
ever cline you plan to spend the win
ter 1t is an approved mode for Fifth
avenue, the Canadian Rockies or Palm
Beach. Hardly any current style has
so wide a scope of usefulness The

The wartime prices of linen caused
practically every housekeeper to allow
her linen supply to diminish far below
normal, and 1 am sure that she would
be exceedingly grateful for a gift of
nice linen toweling, a table cloth, OF
napkins.
Besides linens by the yard, I saw at
Pelletier's a very attractive lot of
Madeira embroidery lunch cloths, CEN
ter pieces, napkins, doilies ana
luncheon sets.
In the same department at Pelle-
tiers I saw something newly arrived
and very reasonably priced that would
also be acceptable gifts to the house
wife. 1t was an assortment of bed
spreads with shams to match. each set
priced at only $3.50. The usual price
has been about $125O for the same
quality.

Everybody likes WaffleS, yet rev
have the convenience of an electric
waffle iron. from which the whole
family can be supplied right at the
table. Two or three Waffles may be
cooked at a time-both sides brown
ing simultaneously and quickly.
Sometimes toast is just a breakfast
habit, but when it's served hot enough
to melt the butter it is a breakfast
joy. An electric toaster on the din
ing table will make you wonder why
you ever liked toast before.
Besides the electric waffle irons and
coasters. the grills (and king of them
all is the Armstrong Table Stove),
coffee urns and percolators. waving
irons, warming pads, fIatirons, shown
at the Topeka Electric Company Store
are all highly. eligible as Christmas
gifts.
Attractive shaded lamps in all sizes,
from tiny boudoir and desk lamps to
large reading lamps for the library
