Haven't you wished loads of times,
upon seeing the cheerful early Spring
flowers, that you had some in your
own yard? Just be as thoughtful as
the other fellow was, and plant some
bulbs in the Fall.
There is a shipment of these bulbs,
imported direct from Holland, at The
Hayes Flower Store. Care was taken
to include only the choicest stock in
the Hayes order. There is a goodly
supply of the beautiful pink and
American Beauty Darwin tulips. These
can be grown here very successfully
There is also at The Hayes Flower
Shop very complete line of attrac-
tive low bowls that can be used for
growing the narcissus bulbs indoors
for winter blooming. AS well as these
bowls. there are in several kinds of
pottery, beautiful vases, baskets and
candlesticks.

Matzenauer, contralto of the Metro
politan, was Floyd KIotzbach, a chauf-

Carlsbad June IS, after Mime. Matte
nauer had hurried to Europe to see
her mother. who was reported to be
on her death bed.
At the time of the wedding the new
husband was described in cable dis
patches as Floyd Glotzbach, New
York business man, but friends of the
singer ransacked their memories in
vain to establish his identity. Then
Nine. Matzenauer gave out a state

Klotzbach, had been a source of great
comfort to her during the trying or
deal of her mothers death in May.
Now from California, thru the me-

the following item, which seems to
clear up the mystery:

IN CHANGING over the pages of
the best magazines and fashion books
It is noticeable that the niftiest golf
clothes for women are knicker suits,
especially designed for comfort, ease
Of motion and classy appearance.
Topeka women now have an OPP
portunity to see and wear the latest
thing in golf clothes.
There is shown at the Outlook. a
very smart suit of imported Scotch
homespun. 1t is made with Norfolk
coat and the back is designed to give
perfect freedom of motion. There is
an extension pleat at each shoulder
and an inverted box pleat in the CEN
ter back. The rest of the fullness in
the back is laid in unstitched tucks at
the waistline. making a very trim
looking garment.
With the coat may be worn either
g skirt or Knockers to match. If an
allround sport suit is desired, it would
be a good Idea to have the coat, knick-
ers and skirt.
The sknickers are we'll designed and
beautifully tailored, having little slot
pockets and just the correct fullness
gathered into a three button cuff at
the knee.
There are several colors in the at
tractive homespun material, and the
sports costume can be ordered in a
color and size to suit the individual
shopper at The Outlook.

This coat is a real French importa-

This sleeve is long with an open

Show.
WHAT! A man in the house? Yes.
And right welcome he is, too, at the
Y. W. c. A. Cafeteria.
1t has been the impression that in
this dining room there were only
women's rights but not so-the plat
form is equal suffrage, and women and
men are invited to partake of the ap-
petizing home cookery served at the
Y. W. c. A. Cafeteria.
The breakfast hour is from 1915 to
8 o'clock. At noon the dining room is
open from 1870 to 1870, and in the
evening from 5;15 until o'clock.
The cuisine is in the hands of cooks
who learned the art at home and
have, until their employment at the
Y. W. c. A, cooked only in homes.
The food at the Cafeteria proves it.
The angels food and chocolate
cakes are especially popular here, and
mmh--if you like corn bread-it's
simply delicious.
Don't forget-it isn't just luncheon,
but three meals day, with the din

THERE IS in the youth of today
a strong tendency toward musical eX-

by the parents. 1t is a good influence
and a pleasant pastime that will fill
many hours at home. or in the home
of a friend. that, in the case of the
young boy. would probably be spent
on the streets.
Our schools are in sympathy with
this musical trend, and not only en-
courage the formation of student or
chestras. but give credits for music,
as we'll as for the subjects in the reg
ular curriculum.
