Dear Elizabeth: We are hearing a
lot of things this week about people
who are to be married, one of them
being a Topeka girl who has recently
acquired carat and quarter dia-
mond from one of our golf experts.
Think of it, Elizabeth, a small girl
wearing that big a stone, well the man
is going to tell the world that that
also heard this week that one of our
popular girls whose engagement is
supposed to be broken off, is to be
married inside of two weeks.
Some one mailed me a letter several
days ago and dared me to use some of
the scandal Enclosed in the letter, but
really. Elizabeth, l can't even breath
it to you. for it vast too scandalous.
The person who wrote1it was supposed
to be a man for he added at the close
of the letter that now the Kappa Sigs
had had their hectic formal, he wished
that one of the men would return his
dress suit. That was the mildest
thing in the whole note. You surely
would enjoy it, could L but write it to
| you,
I didn't have time last week to
gather any gossip to write, 1 was too
busy interviewing Ross Crane all week.
The girls here are still raving about
Mr.. Cranes good looking man assist
ant, who has such lovely blonde hair
and a perfectly wonderful tenor
voice" He also makes batiques some
of which are to be sent back here for
sale at one of the shops.
Sitting behind me one day at one of
the lectures, was a club woman who
| insisted on spelling the whole affair by
continually asking her companion il
she didn't think Ross Crane Just the
lcutest thing" I don't know whether
she said it because the man in ques-
ton wore spats or not.
We are informed that a girl here in
! town who sings great deal has re-

! Speaking of singing reminds me of the
concert we had the other evening al
I the auditorium when two members OF
| the Woman's club held four seats dur
ing the whole affair refusing them to

stairs in the balcony carrying a baby
and leading another small child. When
the concert was over half over the wo-
men were Joined by one man.
The story you told me about the two
boys coming in on the subway from
Ivan Courtlandt Park swamp and the
frogs getting loose was certainly
funny. I don't blame you for trying
to climb out the window would have
too if I had seen 1900 frogs coming
toward me. What were they trying tc
