Topeka, Kan. May %, 1921.
Dear Elizabeth: You have heard OF
people leaving Topeka because they
didn't like the town, but just this
week one of our clever girls declined
an offer of five thousand a year if
she would go to Boston to be the
head of a business similar to the one
with which she is connected here.
But she turned it down with the cool
explanation that Boston was too
''highbrow'' for her and she preferred
the Kansas hot winds and sunflowers
and the swimming pool at Gage park
to the Atlantic ocean. There is usu-
ally man in the case, but this time
there doesn't seem to be altho they
say she has 'em on the waiting list.
She is sort of like another Topeka
girl who can turn down the most
popular men in the town without
batting an eye. When one of the
popular bachelors had asked for an
introduction to her she replied that
some day when she had her hair in
curl and her best dress on, he might
walk by the house and look at her as
she sat on the front porch.
We had an i'll behaved electric car
here several days ago. 1t bounced up
in the air and perched itself on a pile
of rocks out at Bethany college, TAX
ing several men to lift it off. Talking
about cars makes me think that the
nf
houses here are all up in arms be-
cause one of the tenants in the place,
who doesn't have any children and
who has car with a horn on it which
makes an ear splitting noise, has the
habit of driving up front about ten
o'clock every morning and trying to
hurry up his wife by honki1g the
horn. Along about ten O'Clock there'll
be a whole flat of mothers tip toeing
out of the rooms in which they have
carefully rocked their Mary AIMS or
Susie ElIen's to sleep and bling, right
in the windows will come the honking
of the horn. And then Susie Ellen S
and Mary AIMS mothers have to go In
and begin the rocking all over again
But sometimes when individuals are
unkfnd. then you'll find whole dozens
of others who are not. A well known
family here who had their home de-
stroyed and all their belongings has
found this out for their friends have
been deluging them Win SlIIS OIL
dishes, bedding and handsome fur
nishings At a recent club meeting
the friends of the woman gave her
such a lovely basket of gifts that one
would think she wis a bride all over
again. One of our brides and BRIDE
grooms who were supposed to have
slipped off the night of the wedding
on their honeymoon trip, did slip out.
but went to their own little home
which was all ready and spent the
first night there, starting out on the
trip the next day. One of our girls
who is to be married next month has
her apartment in Kansas City and she
and the man have almost finished fur
nishing it.
We have had the most exciting ru-
NOR about town that one of the good
looking girls who is very popular but
who is of exceedingly tender years is
married to a nice looking little boy
of tenderer years. But I really guess
it isn't SO fer they say she is engaged
to a chaplin Omaha.
You remember the milliner on Kan
sas avenue who has such lovely gray
hair? I passed her shop the other
day and as she stood looking out of
the window with her hair silhoretted
