Topeka, Kan, July 2, 1921.
Dear Grace: Well the excitement
around here hasn't been intense this
week. We are having a few little pic
MICS, shower or two for some pro-
Spective brides, one or two club meet
inss, the news that a few of our first
citizens have departed to cooler states,
and one burglary to spend the week
talking over. oh, yes, and added to
this the burning question of where
the new hotel is to be located and the
new parking ordinance.
Speaking of parking, some funny
things surely happened Friday after
noon. Every so often some business
man would tear out to the sidewalk,
jump in his car and take it for a
turn or two around the block before
parking it again on the avenue.
Some of them didn't hurry fast
enough and so when they got down to
the sidewalk they found a little tag
with printed instructions On it telling
them to appear at the police station.
One doctor here in town hit on the
lovely scheme of setting the alarm in
1 a little clock at his office five minutes
before the allotted sixty minutes
was up, and each time the bell would
ring, down to the street he would go
and take a little outing up one side
of the street and down the other and
then park his car and go to work in
the office. Along toward six o'clock,
when he had turned off the alarm,
grabbed his hat and made a run for
the street. he found one of the little
tickets hanging on his wheel. So all
of his trouble was for nothing.
Two girls whose names appear in
the society colin quite often came
out of a movie show Friday afternoon
md obeying the summons on the
steering wheel of their car drove down
to the police station. The Judge was
out and they had to seat themselves
on a bench with an assortment of
Mexicans. Russians, black folks and
poor white trash and await their turn.
I wonder what the doctors do, when
they have a hurry up call and are
compelled to grab their bags and run
n block or two for their cars. Seems
to me as tho they would object.
One of our business men had two
bottles of good old liquah, a gift
which he had been fondly treasuring
for a number of years, stolen from his
home last week. The thieves drank
one bottle of whisky before they left,
and took the two bottles along with
them. I don't know whether he made
public his loss or not. Not long ago.
when one of our Topeka families
ent away for the summer, the son
had a finishing up party and the
guests came and finished all the
stored liquor in the house. Talking
about leaving, one day this week
called at the home of a well known
man here and his wife said she was
busy making all the five beds in the
house and tucking the covers in extra
tight so they could be slept in two
nights without remaking, the reason
being that she was going away and
her husband, who simply can't make
a bed, was going to start in at room
number one and take the rooms and
