A LITTLE BOY IN OUR |
TOWN
Who has heard his father and
which happen on pay day or the
day that the monthly salary check is
received. Many things are regulateu
by this day and the thing has made an
impression on the little fellow. Not
long ago someone asked the little boy
what day it was that he should hang
up his little flag. After a few min
utes thought, the youngster responded,
PAY day. of course"
Mr.. and Mrs. P. D. Turner, 14o5
Byron avenue, announce the engage
ment of their daughter, Helen Louise,
to Mr.. J. Ralph Brunt. son of Mr.. and
Mrs. F. H. Brunt of Kansas City, Mo.
The wedding will take place in
Topeka, Kan, Oct s, 1922.
Dear Elizabeth: Many, many
things have happened in Topeka since
I last wrote you a letter. We have
had weddings and still more weddings,
we have had hot weather, and now
we have cool weather, we have had
ngagements, they have been broken,
we have more engagements and they
will probably be broken several times
before things are finally settled. and
last but certainly not least we are
watching with intense interest the
building of>a big hotel.
Speaking of this hotel, have you
ever noticed how strange it is that the
masculine citizenry of the city of To-
peka always gather around when
some one else is working, with the
avowed purpose and intentions of
watching them work? The box office
receipts for the attendance at this
particular hotel erection may not be
SO great but there is certainly an en-
thus1astic audience always on the side
lines, looking on. It's surely a won
der that the fence don't fall in with
them, for the elbows on It are as nu-
merous as blackbirds in the fall.
And say. Elizabeth, have you ever no.
t1ced that the average man cannot
pass an excavation of any sort with
out trying out the long distance record
OF his salivary glands? Peculiar,
isn't it?
We had one surprise wedding two
weeks ago, the bride coming down
town one morning on the street car
and before noon she had decided to
get married and the next day found.
her on her way with the man of her
choice to their new home We are
having another wedding today, which
| is sort of a surprise but not so much
of surprise as the other 1t was
only the date of the wedding today
that had been kept a secret.
Then we have rumored engage
ment OF a business girl and Wash
burn athlete, another rumor of an
engagement between a young business
man and former Washburn girl, now
a business woman; then there's the
supposed engagement or at least I'M
Outstanding between a Topeka girl
and a young man of artistic tempera-
ment, and heaps more of them.
Dozens of sophomores and juniors at
| Washburn have carefully pinned on
frat pins this fall, but as one mother
told another one the other day, she
was glad to have her little daughter
put on Phi Delt pin or any other pin
because it would keep her Interested
for time at least until she did be-
come old enough to know what she
wanted and what she didn't want.
Do you know who caught the bridal
bouquet at a recent wedding? Well,
according to the old rumor, there's
| always something in this act of fate
| in permitting one certain girl to catch
the brides flowers Oh, yes, Eliza
beth, I must not forget to tell you
about the news that comes from the
| Pacific coast. They say that one of
our popular Topeka girls who no
longer is on good terms with her hus-
band, is having all kinds of attentions
bestowed upon her by a very atten-
| tive Canadian sutton, who has coolies
of money which he made in lumber
or wheat or something. Anyway, he
| is much in evidence and so is the
money.
| We will have one quiet bit of thrill
| ing news to write about in the society
| colin in the near future when the
wedding plans of a Topeka girl are
announced. And by the way this girl
who is one of the best looking black
eyed misses here, has broken an en-
gagement within the past year, and
now is wearing a wonderful ring, be-
| longing to the man to whom she is to
F.! be married this coming winter. If
you read the society colin in a few
months from now, you'll find out
who she is. FRANCES.
