day evening.
new English bride. I'm afraid Topeka
will have no charms for her when she
arrives homes.
Absolutely, Grace, If you were here
now and were trying to find some
news for your colin. you would have
to follow around the golfers, out on
the Country club links, for the women
who usually have a party or two to
enlfVen the summer are out playing
golf. Not all of them are playing, but
they are all learning. One girl who
is home from an eastern college gave
her sticks to her sister in New York
before leaving. Last summer she just
couldn't drag anyone out to the links
with her and this summer she's the
only girl in her set not playing.
And speaking about golfing brings
US to the subject of golfing clothes A
few of the players drag out their old
est suits and don them when they go
out, others go out all frilled up and
some of them are going to be real
sensible and wear knickers. One of
the girls of the younger set appeared
Tuesday in knickers and everyone said
| she was certainly the cutest looking
little person. One of the older women
| has ordered a pair and another en-
thusiastic woman is having a whole
| know about it, someone said that be-
cause everyone spread their picnic
suppers out and ate together at the
club, you know they are repairing the
club house and right in the middle
| of the season, too, that everyone was
and know Grace that democracy in
a Country club will never do, it
! wouldn't be Country club, and we
society reporters wouldn't tear around
| hunting news about what was going
| on at the club If it was such.
You remember Florence Hayden,
the clever society reporter who used
to write this colin, well she has been
so downhearted lately about her golf
score, and everyone says she has the
| most mournfuls- woe begone counte-
nance and instead of anyone asking
her how she is any more, they ask
| her how her golf is, and she usually
replies in a dismal tone, "Oh, I'm SO
low" Someone said the other day
that Mrs. Hayden was just dreading
the day to come when we would begin
to reprint in the Twenty Year Ago
colin what she had written. It's
mighty interesting reading. You re-
member the wedding she wrote and
gave all the narrowing details about
| how the bridegroom was hidden down
! stairs behind a. screen and heard all
the comments made by the guests as
A
of the old Helanthus club dances,
\ there was not a wall flower in evil
dence for all the girls were in the
cloakroom, trying on new cloak be-
longing to Mrs. Chauncey Dewey.
| Speaking about twenty years ago,
me If when I came to a childrea's
party given twenty years ago next
month, If I would kindly omit the age
of the child then. the child being the
Topeka society woman now. Surely is
funny, perhaps some of the children
of today will feel the same way about
their ages, twenty years from now.
FRANCES.
! A Washburn boy who is having-the
time of his life in the east, seems to be
somewhat shocked by the New York
style of women's wearing apparel, and
has written a letter to his mother tell
ing her all about it.
| The letter begins: Gosh. there are
all kinds, sizes, shapes and complex
ions on the streets here. I've begun to
think they are doing away with skirts
AS nearly as I can remember when I
left home a month ago, the girls were
wearing them clear to their knees, but
here it is worse than that. And they
paint, some of them with a Cubist
finish and others look almost human
when they get thru. The women 1 see
in the hotels have 1t on as thick as
| those see on the streets. came
across party of old hens smoking in
a cafe the other day. OF course I sup
pose all their children were grown,
but then 1 couldn't help think of the
bad effect on me"
