Dear Elizabeth: OF course the
whole State Journal force is excited
today for two of our very own repor-
tors were married this morning at
Grace cathedral. Really it is our first
right here, and you couldn't blame US
for being quite thrilled about it. Last
spring you remember reading about a
group of girls camping for a whole
week at Cages park, at the new camp
ing ground; well it's quite a coinci-
dence, but today's wedding marks the
third marriage as the result of that
camp. 1t seems that the men most
In favor at that time, proved that
they knew something about camp
housework by dropping in occasion
ally in time to wash the dishes, so
what could you naturally expect. Our
commissioner of parks, Bob McGiffert
was the first one to start the ball
rolling; today's marks the third we'd
ding, and there are just two more
girls left, and one of those We hear
will be a Mrs. by next spring.
Speaking of marriages makes mo
think that last week we heard of a
former Topeka boy who had fallen in
love with the first girl he met when
he landed in California last winter,
resigned his position in Topeka and is
now making California his permanent
home, having persuaded the first girl
| to marry him. We also heard that
along with the girl the young man
! was presented with a raisin farm and
a lovely car. A little Topeka girl who
| is studying journalism in Missouri has
been given a perfectly stunning high
powered roadster by her father. Last
week one day a Topeka man and girl
were married and as a gift from the
parents the two received a farm, all
stocked with the necessary stock, tools
and a lovely farm home completely
furnished.
I was quite astonished last week
one day when I asked a clerk at one of
the Topeka stores what some funny
little pink, blue and white ivory things
were that she was selling. ooh,
marked. and then said ladies' as an
after thought. She also added that
she sold on the average of two a day.
OF course L was interested and wanted
to know to whom, flappers, old wo-
men, young women, or middle aged
women. The girl considered and what
do you suppose she said? "WeT, on
the whole, think sell more of them
to the young married women than to
any one else" They are sure cunning
little things at that.
IT'S said that several of the boys
about town are feeling dreadfulIy
lonely for two of the girls whom thev
always depended on to get them dates
have gone away to school and the
third one is going. I suppose now
they'll have to make a few of their
own dates, which, considering their
spositions, would be a bit hard OIL
'em.
You remember the Topeka char,
Elizabeth, who always called on a girl
here at the same time that her regu-
lar beau" did and that he always out
stayed him? Well, two boys here did
the same thing one night not long ago.
They just happened to call on a girl
when she was entertaining another
man. The other man had brought
along a perfectly lovely box of candy
and the two boys came along just in
time to consume the whole box. and
FRANCES.

Mrs. McVey's team originated these
dances, and gave a series of three or
four the first season. They proved so
popular that other teams took up the
plan, and the Woman's club dances
are now a regular feature of the social
season. They are informal, and bring
out a congenial company of both the
older and the younger dancing people,
and they afford the opportunity for
many to enjoy dancing who would not
