counter that Willie Diggs is spending
considerable good cash for women's
wearing apparel. You know Wiiiie's
wife has been out of town for some
time, and besides some of the articles
have been seen moving along the
street in the Kansas Avenue Spring
parade. However, I don't believe in
merchants splitting. the beans on
good cash customer that way, do you?
And, say boy, there surely was some
party pulled off in Kansas City not
long ago by a crowd of Topeka men.
1 didn't catch all of the names, so it
wouldn't be fair to tell on only few.
1t was one of those blowouts with all
kinds of trimmings, and lasted several
days-and nights.
Following a party which was given
at one of the clubs recently there was
lot of criticism given a crowd that
was thought to have INDUCED too
freely in home brew. or something or
the sort. Now there's nothing funny
in that, but the fact that the Con-
scientious Directors, the list of whom
is growing each day, is made up chief

The local worrierS had about de-
cided that the case of prominent
bachelor and his attractive young din
ner companion had gone kafluey, but
they were seen together again yester-
day.
There was a good deal of anxiety
in town because a car of well known
make had been standing regularly late
at night in front of the home of an
attractiv young widow. The car was
thought to belong to a young bachelor.
but it was a later model of the same
make and happened to belong to her
brother.
The college folks have been having
some festive parties lately and at one
of the 'tformals" last night they were
playing crack the whip. and two of
the most prominent sub-debs slid miles
across the floor-not on their feet.
| Funny thing, not a fraternity pin
has been put out at any of the for
NAL parties so far, and last year by
this time about forty badges had
found a new home.

| You remember Mr.. Blank? Well, he

This struck my funny bone. Sam, for
you know what a staid old church

The village has been engrossed the
past week in the Ross Crane lectures
and one little feature that the ladies
didn't overlook was the fact that Mr.
Crane dressed like a herman instead
of wearing the usual accoutrements
| of a super-soul. The velveteen smocks
and sissilily tie were used only when
he gave his Chalk-Talks. which was
perfectly fittin', and at all other times
he was sartorially perfect.
