TWENTY YEARS AGO
Topeka families were in the midst
OF the ping pong" raze. Amuse-
ments- come and go, ping pong has
gone SO that the young people of to-
day do not have even the remotest
idea of whether ping pong is some
twenty years ago an account of. a
party was not complete without the
familiar sentence, 1.-The evening was
spent playing ping pong"
The following paragraph from the
society colin of twenty years ago tells
of the popularity of the game: Ping
pong has reached the stage in Topeka
that people are following the hints of
the funny paper and are eating off
pianos and anything else so as not to
disturb the dining room tables on
which they have ping pong sets. One
family has the dining room table ex-
tended for ping pong, the net IN place
constantly, and so as not to disturb it
they eat off the kitchen table. An
other family has a little better scheme
and uses one end of the long table
without having to take down the net.
Other families have the ping pong
tables on the porches. One man is
angry because he found a ping pong
ball in the pudding and still another
is furious because he cannot read. His
eyes are out of focus because he tried
to watch the antics\of ping pong
ball"
