For a long time they have had a vogue for making up their faces to simulate a deadly pallor of skin with vividly red lips and now this fad has reached this country and been taken up by some of the eastern women. But Parisiennes have discover ed a new color scheme and are seen, it is said, in numbers on the boulevardes with their faces painted a pale mauve, their lips purple and their hats swathed in drooping chiffon veils of lavendar or pale red. Luckily the west is still too whol.omely literal to understand or appreciate the subtleties (as Paris would expressc it) or idiocy (as Topeka would say) of such beauty types and there is no danger of the Impressionist school of dermatological painting becoming pop ular on Kansas avenue where the faces are still seen painted, if painted at all, in the good, old-fashioned, obvious reds and whites. Miss Ethel Hadley gave a Kensington today for her sister.

' " " Miss Mabel Chambers left this morn ing for Los Angeles, Cal., where her wedding to Mr. Frank Bartel will take place next Wednesday. It had been ar ranged to have the wedding in Topeka at the home of her mother, Mrs. .J, S. Dewey, 1217 West Fifth street, next Tuesday but Mr. Bartel was unable to leave California on account of business cares and sent for his bride to Join him in California. Miss Chambers has been a teacher in the Topeka schools. A business man offered a young girl relative a position down town, but al though she admitted that she needed the money she refused because, she said, she would "lose her social posi tion" if she accepted. -He-E reply was interesting as heretofore -nobody., had ever suspected her of having a-; social position. '' - - Hearing that a girl whom he had taken for a drive had told another girl that he was "awfully slow and didn't know how to treat a girl," a Topeka chap sent back word that he knew how to treat a girl all right if she made a hit with him. Guess that was a sassy come-back. In other words it was not a function of speed or morals but of in clination. Miss Gertrude Barnes will give a din ner at the Vinewood cafe this evening in compliment to Mrs. W. E. Culver and her mother, Mrs. Sabin. who leave the last of June for their future home in Bosto.i. The members of the Clio club have been asked. .. ... ? Usually the people who whisper around with a great air of secrecy have nothir.g important to say. There was great excitement in a To peka family the other day, the occa sion being a party which the oldest daughters, seventeen and nineteen, re spectively, were to give for a visiting girl in their set. A party in that fam ily is somewhat unusual for the girls have not yet reached the age when the whole household Is subservient to their social duties and obligations, so the younger children manifested a great deal of interest in the prepara tions and their concern was made use of by the young hostesses who had them running errands and helping in other ways all morning. After lunch eon, however, the two big girls called the young ones together and issued a manifesto: They" were to have baths and their best clothes on and were to "assist" while the guests were arriv ing. Tommy and Billy were to stand at the front door and let the arrivals in and ask them to go up stairs; Jane was to stand at the top of the stairs and show the guests to the room where they were lo take off their hats. Phyllis was to stay in the dressing room and not under any circum stances to be caught trying on the hats. But after the company had ar rived and the card tables were filled the children were all to retire to the back yard and stay there All After noon. The hostesses -didn't want them nosing around the card tables either during the game or while the serving was going on. They were to stay absolutely In the background and be little ladies 'and gentlemen all afternoon and then when the guests were gone they could come in and have their ice cream and cake. At this -there was naturally Great Indig nation, and the children promptly set up a howl. Phyllis said if she couldn't be at the party she wasn't going to help. Jane demanded to know if she hadn't gone clear up to Aunt Amy's to borrow spoons and lunch cloths and thought it was a nice way to treat her after she had worked all morning getting ready for company not to let her have a bit of fun. She didn't care anything about standing at the top of the stairs and telling them where to go. If she could punch the score cards or something like that so she could be around and hear what the big girls talked about or wait on the table she wouldn't mind. . Tommy gave it out flat that if he couldn't be in on the -party he wouldn't dress up and stand at the door but would keep on his old jumper suit, and get his face and hands just as dirty as he could and hang taround; the front porch and disgrace the hostesses for life. He wantedao know what fun there was in- being dressed up and sent to thebacic,'9yafd! - If they had to stay in the "baf, y'ardTand" couldn't even peek at. the guests what was the use in behig dressed up? He had picked daisies for the :paty and run errands because " he supposed, of course, he would,be allowed to stick around. If he wasn't going' tp be in on the eats he didn't want to be-, in on anything. He" knew: how it was about the eats when you bad fo-wait until the company, was finished. Ice cream and cake, 'indeed! He .wanted some of the fried chicken and he bade them recall- how: much xtr the fried chicken was- left when the com pany got through at that party mamma gave. "The company got all the wish-bones a.11 us kids got was the gizzards and- necks." At these signs of rebellion' the big girls scolded and cried and -caned their mother, to quell this insurrection, which she did only after .arguments, . pleadings, threats, punishment and! promises. The children were finally dressed up in their white! shoes and stockings and their best fcocks and suits and compelled to perform their unwilling offices of assistance until the guests had all arrived, when they were promptly banished to the back yard. There they. discussed their grievances until the neighbor children came over, when they hushed up with one accord and assumed the'- air of dignity and importance which 1s appropriate when one has on one's best clothes and is "assisting at a party. ....
