Topeka, Kan. Dec. II, 1921.
Dear Elizabeth: We have two
more engagements to tell you about
this week. one of them was an
nounced at the Alpha Phi house by
the usual five-pound box of candy.
The little girl has lot of dramatic
ability and she and the man have
grown up together, but there won't be
any wedding for at least two years,
so they saw Then the other engage
ment is to eliminate in a wedding in
the early spring. The man is an east
ern man ard the woman. who is buy
ing all sorts of pretty clothes for the
occasion, is Topeka woman. An
other Topeka girl is talking clothes
just now too, for her wedding dress is
conversation I overheard on the street
the other day and so far all 1 know
is that it's white satin. While the
subject is weddings, 1 might as we'll
tell you. Elizabeth, that the good look
ing young business man, whose golf
scores are almost as good a. his bust
ness successes, is to be married in the
spring TO the girl he has been beauing
around for several years.
A Topeka girl who at present time is
wearing the IDiru diamond on ueT ell
gagement finger might truly say, if
anyone asked her how long she had
been engaged, This time or alto
gether?" The other day some one
happened to notice her ring and COM
mented on the beauty of it and asked,
"Oh. aren't you enthused over your
ring" NO" drawled the girl. the
excitement's kinda worn off now,
have two more at home. OF course I
was sort of excited when I got the
first one, but that's an old story, I just
keep the rings around for keepsakes."
We might add that If she keeps on
Excepting them, it'll take an adding ma
| chine to keep trace of her enga ements.
Say Elizabeth one of our hostesses

! She gave a luncheon and bridge re-

style new to us Topekans She used

south. In them were placed the linen

and the trao 5 Of the meal were gone,
in a jiffy.
Something funny happened this
week. In one of the back yards of a
| Topeka home there is a big walnut
| tree. IL which a lot of little squirrels
| live. The family living at the house
had a big sack OF English walnuts
| sent them not long ago from Cali
fornia and they were placed in the
| kitchen until room could be found for
| them. The walnuts in the sack began
to go down a little each day and the
mother couldn't quite figure out
where they were going to. Then one
day she moved the ice box. Under
meath it was almost a peck of the
nuts and there was also a hole.
Rats" she thought, TN just watch
and see VIII ere they came FROM" and
so she did. After a while she saw
a tiny red head push up thru the hole
and finally a furry body and then a
bushy red tail. The squirrels had
gnawed a hole in the floor, stolen the
nuts out of the sack and cached
them for the winter underneath her
ice box.
''Just the other day we read that be

man becomes so lonesome so sick for
a home so ready to endow some wom-
an with his worldly possessions in re-
