The news items found in the Society
colin of the Topeka State Journal
twenty years ago are quite revealing
for instance. ages Numerous tunes
maidens, young matrons and older
ones too for that matter, have been
frankly and truthfully revealed. The
society department being edited by
one of the feminine gender, a sister
feeling usually prompts the age to be
omitted when the item concerning the
person is rewritten and used under
the Twenty FEARS Ago Today head
ing.
Sometimes age is mentioned when
the child of twenty years ago was
given a birthday party, and then
sometimes it is a birth announcement.
But perhaps the most surprising
thing of all and several times we have
found it in those collins of so long
ago. are engagement announcements.

lied into a wedding, for the persons
OF those names are married now to
some one else. And then again per-
haps a social item will mention a Mrs.
Blank and as it now happens Mrs.
Blank is now Mrs. Some Other Blank,
having in the meantime severed her
connections. with the first husband
which she acquired.
Not long ago, a couple who that
day had been married forty years.
were sitting quietly in their living
room on the evening of their anniver-
sary. reading an account in that eve
ning's paper of a surprise party given
for them twenty years ago on their
twentieth wedding anniversary
All of a sudden the door opened,
and in walked friend after friend,
whose names they had just been read
ing IN their party of long ago. They
had come to again surprise them on
their fOrtieth anniversary
Writing the copy to be used again
in the Twenty Years Ago Today colin.

much charity of heart would be rather
a ticklish procedure.
