Topeka, Kan. April 8, 1921.
Dear Elizabeth: You remember the
Topeka girl 1 told you about several
weeks ago who is in the east-wel,
1 received a note from her the other
Qdy. SDe Is going TO De married some
time soon and she and her husband
will take a cottage for the summer
up on Chesapeake bay. This is just
one of a good many weddings which
we will have this summer if signs of
being engaged are all true. There is
the little girl who is engaged TO the
young chap who is selling automo-
biles, time there's the girl who is en-
gagged to the Kansas City man, the
girl who is engaged to the K. U. man
studying to be a doctor, the girl who
is engaged to a young inferno in a
Missouri hospital and ever SO many
more girls who have taken a sudden
wild desire to make pillow cases and
luncheon sets, that it all looks sus-
picious.
We have had one surprise wedding
too here within in the last week. Ev-
eryone was surprised, for it was to
have been much later on in the sum-
mer, and next month, the engagement
announcement was to have been made,
but the to-be-bridegroom was called
away on a business trip, SO he just
did two things at once by going both
on his wedding trip and the business
trip. One chap who was married here
this week is so happy over the we'd
ding and is congratulating himself
that he won't have to eat downtown
any more. The men with whom he
works in the Santa Fe offices deco
rated his desk with shoes, etc, and he
was so pleased that he sent for
photographer to come right up and
take a picture of the whole thing. One
Santa Fe man who was also married
a short time ago has been the target
of all the jokes in this office for the
past few weeks, and has been given
carloads of advice as to how he should
maintain his dignity and be head OF
the house. We have had one or two
sad things happen this week, too, for
one of our we'll liked girls has broken
an engagement of long standing, and
one of our young wives has left town,
and gone home, so they say, owing TO
an arrangement between her and her
husband.
One Topeka man, who is artistica1 |
w gifted, whose wife is in the east, is /
having a good time at all the dances
lately He seems to favor one partic- |
ular girl.
Say. Elizabeth, the Woman's club
here had a bazaar, which meant lot |
of hard work but brought them in /
over two thousand dollars. Everyone
said that the dance in connection with |
the bazaar was one of the prettlest
that had ever been seen here, altho
they said in the same breath that the
good to- dance upon.
One of the teams had white ele-
plant sale, but 1 didn't hear of any
one doing what they did several years
stick and took it home thinking that
now she would have one to match the
old one hidden away in the attic, when
10 and behold, she found that her
mother had given the one supposed to
be in the attic to that very sale ana
she had come cheerfully along and re-
her old former treasure.
Nor did 1 hear of anything like the in
cfdent which happened last year,
when the woman gave a lovely ORR
entail silk kimonO to rummage sale,
a friend purchased it, took it home,
had it dyed and presented it to the
woman as a gift and she didn't recog-
nize her old kimono.
1 went to a meeting of the Woman's
club the other afternoon, and l Won
der if you have ever noticed the noisy
in which a great many women
walk across a floor. About half of
them when leaving early forget that |
is talking when they start for |
the door. Thursday afternoon, too. a |
few of the early leavers seemed to like |
to bang the door shut.
Did you know that the very latest |
indication of wealth is a sterling silver |
door key? I've always wondered why |
it wasn't possible to have door key |
made of silver or gold to carry in ones |
purse and now it's been accomplished. |
The jewelry and novelty shops are (
to carry the silver blanks /
and any locksmith can cut the proper !
hicks into them to fit the lock. That |
story you told me about the New York |
was surely funny. 1 think we
will have to do something like that |
here when the landlord refuses to dec
Orate. You remember the one you !
told me. about when the landlord per-
mitted his tenant to have ten dollars
off his rent month if he would re-
decorate. The tenant proceeded tC
paint every wall, ceiling and piece of
woodwork a dead black and then the |
did gasp and in gasping went
to court but the judge declared the
tenant in the right and the landlord /
had to redecorate and in so doing the
tenant held him to his lease of ten
dollars off per month.
Have you heard any more about the
new John Drinkwater play, Mary
Stuart" which is about the early
years of the Queen of Scots?
