Dear Elizabeth: Most of the gossip
which we have heard this week has
to do with weddings. At one of the
big Kansas weddings this week-the
Long-Stanley wedding at Wichita
the rnatron of honor and the maid of
honor instead of carrying bouquets,
carried lovely big feather fans. At
this same wedding everyone thought
how lovely part of the arrangements
were. as at the church, just before the
bride and bridegroom reached the al
tar. two little white gates of flowers
were opened by the attendants for the
passage of the bridal party. Gala
lilies dozens and dozens of them, were
used. They were tied to the lights,
which were strung down the center
aisle, where the bridal party entered
the church, with bows of yellow tulle
with long streamers. The wedding
gifts were perfectly gorgeous, so they
saw, a complete silver tea service, a
number of huge silver platters. plates,
and all sorts and kinds of silver,
stacks and stacks of it.
Not long ago, Elizabeth, when writ
ing the twenty-year-ago colin I ran
across a feature story about our old
governors mansion here. In the story
it told of the various members of Gov
ernor StanIey's family. They were
living in the house then, and about
young Gene Stanley. as they called
him. ! The story writer had remarked
that there was not a stair rail in the
house that the governors young son
had not slid down. Evidently he's still
as active now as he was then. only in
a different way. for they say he's a
rising young lawyer.
We had a wedding of our own in
Topeka this past week, most beau
tifuI home wedding. Yesterday I
heard several girls talking on the
street car about the affair and one of
them concluded. sWell. when I get
married want my wedding to be just
like Betty Edison sit was perfectly
WON der-ful.''
Last week we had the queerest thing
happen here. A Topeka girl was mar
ried and her family did not wish any
thing in the paper about it, not even
the announcement. Wasn't that
strange? Nowadays there are four
without. the ring. the bridegroom, the
minister and the newspaper an
nouncement. But this family would
have none of it and even requested
that if the bride came in and called on
me herself that 1 fail to print any
thing about the wedding, all of which
has made this department mighty
curious.
Your news that the New York girls
are wearing bieaehed monkeys fur to
trim the edges of their undertakings
doesn't excite US out here in the least.
Come again next week with something
more thrilling. FRANCES.
