Trouble? Surely! I've a peck.
No relief as yet I've found,
fin a shattered, nervous wreck.
Trembling at the slightest sound,
Starting as I look around.
Chills are running up my spine.

"Love me, and
Truly I have suffered woe.
Pray excuse these falling tears.

If a madness soon appears.
Now a barrel organ nears.

'Were Among Those Present at the
Hellanthus subscription dance at Hud
son's last night but outside of that It
was all right and unanimously voted
One of the . most delightful dances of
the season. Hall's orchestra played a
corkln' good programme and If Ray
Hall, the leader, Is not a genius he is
close to It. The musical High Brows
declare he Is too gifted a violinist to
be playing for dancing and that he
ought to be In & symphony orchestra
at least, but the plain plugs who don't
care so much for Art with an upper
case A, but are kind o' fussy about
their waltzes and two steps, say they
ere mighty glad he Isn't. Mr. Hall
seems to give the best that is in him
every minute and inspires his men to
equal efforts and he is so Perfectly
Sweet about encores and so handsome
that the girls rave over him. . . .
The dance last night was informal
no decollete gowns and only three
young Midases blew themselves for
glass wagons. There were fewer stags
than usual and, wonders of wonders
at a Hellanthus dancel some of the
girls who arrived late got their pro
grammes balled up and had to sit
out once so the Walnut club had oc
casional Informal meetings in the
dressing room. The S. R. should have
pounded wood when she bragged that
the Walnuts had no chapter in To
peka. . . . Two of the most attrac
tive girls at the dances this winter are
Miss Julia Larimer and Miss Alice
Wlilard. Miss Larimer graduated from
Wellesley last June and is enjoying
her first season out of school and both
girls have hitherto been associated
principally with the high school and
college sets but are now seen more
and more frequently with the grown
ups. They are exceptionally likable
girls, pretty and chic and entertain
ing and amiable and are having lots
of luck this year. At every dance you
hear the men talking about them in a
decidedly complimentary way and they
are asked every place and always have
a little court of admirers. Miss Jean
Kassuba, of Milwaukee, who Is Miss
Frances Connell's guest. Is getting
along exceedingly well here and has
been a belle at all the gaieties in the
younger set since the beginning of the
holidays. Visiting girls are proverbial
ly popular in Topeka and Miss Kas
suba is one of the best liked who has
given the town a treat. . . . The
company last night included Mr. and
Mrs. John Balrd Nicholson, Mr. and
Mrs. George W. Snyder, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles T. Mitchell, Mr. and Mrs. Joe
Morgan, Mrs. Arthur Lingafelt of Chi
cago, Mrs. Julia Wikidal Wells, Miss

"
the spirit of controversy Is now raging
around the question of whether two
can live on $12 a week. It is the same
old argument, except a? to figures.
Heretofore the limit was' higher, us
ually $25 a week, which put the pro
blem out of the reach of the plain
people but $12 is more ' like getting
down to cases. The factions are lining
up on the question Just as they always
have Just as they did, for Instance,
when Mrs. Roosevelt said that a wo
man could dress adequately on $300
a year. That is, the people who have
it to do say it can't be done; the
Prominent Society Women with triple
chins and diamond tiaras, say that any
woman who can't, if necessary, keep
house for a family of. six on $12 a
week; -dress neatly and meet her bus
band with a smile and a kiss when
she comes home from her literary club
must be both lazy and extravagant;
and the rest of us sit back, gasp in
astonishment and exclaim, "Twelve
dollars a week! Who'd a thought
there was that much money in the
whole world!"
An effective design for a costume of
crepe de chine or soft silk is pictured in
the accompanying sketch. The model
was in leaf green crepe, inset with
bands of lace dyed to match. This lace
was embroidered, or rather had the
pattern accentuated with gilt thread
and green chenille, and was trimmed
with a scarf of chiffon, edged with the
lace and drawn over the shoulders and
attached under little bows of satin to
match. In the back, these scarfs were
fastened at the top of the very high
girdle, with small bows and little green
and gilt buckles, and the ends allowed
to fall in sash effect almost the length
of the skirt. Ball fringe was used on
the bodice and trimmed the wide bias
band, which was set on the skirt in a
point back and front.
Mexican Herald (Jan. 12.): Mrs.

o'clock on the Shriners" special, and
while here will be the guest of Mr.

friends, that she made during her vis
its and short residence here, will ac
cord her a warm welcome.
A Topeka girl is the despair of her
ambitious mother because she turns
up her nose at the eligible men who
admire her, calls them old fossils and
persists in falling in love with good
looking young chaps with Perfectly
Dear hair but no prospects.

A Topeka girl is denying her re
ported engagement to an out-of-town
man and of course she ought to know
but tho gossips say the man is telling

The High school sub-seniors will
give the annual class reception for
the seniors tomorrow night at Mc
Rae's. Miss Margaret Ellenberger,
Miss Ruth Woodford, Mr. Harry Ruth
and Air. Wallis Hoch will receive the
guests.
They say, now, that the basis of the
friendship between a young girl and
a young matron who go about together
a great deal, is not, as was generally
supposed, that the girl wants an
obliging- chaperon but that the ma
tron takes the girl along to take off
the curse.

when they will make senatorial calls.
Senator and Mrs. Curtis are estab
lished in their new home, 1818 S
street, having given up the house on
New Hampshire avenue which they
took early in the season.
Mrs. Long, wife of Senator Chester
I. Long of Medicine Lodge, Kan., has
been a sufferer all the season from
rheumatism, but is observing her
Thursday afternoons at home quite in
formally. She sees all her visitors,
but is not able to go out at night, nor
is she able to return her visits. She
is improving all the time and hopes
to be c,uite recovered by the time the
spring season opens.
Mrs. Long is such a factor in the
social affairs of the senatorial and
congressional circles that she has been
greatly missed. She will do her usual
part in the celebration of Kansas day,
which falls on Wednesday, January
29, which is the anniversary of the
day on which Kansas entered the
Union. In celebration of the day the
women of the Kansas delegation will
receive together in Senator Long's
home on Massachusetts avenue.
It has been Mrs. Long's custom ever
since Mr. Long became a senator to
have the wives of the Kansas Repub
licans assist her. This year it will be
just a little different, and she will call
it the Kansas ladies's reception, as
Mrs. Curtis, wife of Senator Long's
colleague, will be with Mrs. Long on
that afternoon.
A large number of the members of
the Kansas delegation in congress
were originally members of the Kan
sas Day club which celebrates the day
in fitting style in the state, and they
usually make an effort to commem
orate it in some way in Washington.
Mrs. Long is also making arrange
ments for entertaining the yourig girls
from her state who are attending
school in Washington eor a week end
house party in a few weeks.. This is
another annual affair of this active
senatorial hostess, which is a pretty
compliment both to the girls and to
their relatives.

him alone in Topeka, although there
is not a town in the United States
where young women of irreproachably
position do not accept luncheon and
dinner invitations from men with no
chaperon string to them. In Europe
the chaperon idea is firmly established
but there it is followed consistently
and without variation and a girl never
sees a man alone under any circum
stances until after, her marriage. Som;
Topeka parents won't permit their
daughters to go to the Country club
without a chaperon even when there
is a party of young people, but think
nothing of their drivins alone with a
man. Othr people say that two
couples or an extra girl constitutes
sufficient chaperonage. A woman
whose daughter entertains men until
midnight, unchaperoned, in her draw
ing room in winter or on the front
porch in summer, is horrified because
her neighbor allowed her daughters
(two of them), to go to Kansas City
for the matinee with one poor lone
man. This critic of other people's
business admits, however, that when
she and her daughter are in New York
the latter often went down town for
luncheon and the matinee with a man
unchaperoned, and that as they were
stopping in a suburb she was out from
under the mother's watchful care as
long as if she went to Kansas City
from Topeka for the day. The fact
Of the matter is that we are none of

BURYING THE DEAD.
Boyertown Will Lay Away One-Fifteenth
of Its Population.
Boyertown, Pa., Jan. 16. This lit
tle borough which lost one-fifteenth
of its population in the opera house
horror Monday night today turned to
the task of burying the dead. Be
cause of the condition of most of the
bodies the borough authorities have
asked the bereaved relations to bury
the dead within three days. All night
long scores worked at the morgues
preparing the identified bodies for
removal to late homes or the ceme
tery. As early as 5 o'clock a long
line of death wagons moved here
and there about the town distributing
corpses and before nightfall most of
the dead will be ready for interment.
There was a slight hitch in the
work of removing bodies from the
morgues through the action of Cor
oner Strasser forbidding the removal
of any bodies during his absence. This
was due to a mix up in the identifica
tion of the body of a boy. There
were three claimants for the body and
all appeared before the coroner for
permission to remove it. Each one
was positive that the body was the
one they were looking for. Therefore
.to prevent mistakes the coroner issued
the order. Burgess Koehler learned
of this and immediately communicat
ed with the coroner at Reading 'where
he had gone on business. When it
was explained that people who had
positively Identified their dead wanted
the bodies and that bodies in dispute
would be held, the coroner rescinded
his order. Since then the relief com
mittee working in conjunction with
relatives has removed more than EjO
bodies from the morgues. It is a
common sight to see men carrying
through the streets charred bodies on
boards covered by a blanket or quilt.
No Funeral Services.
More than sixty death certificates
were issued' up to 10 a, m., and most
of these bodies will be buried during
the day, most of them without any
funeral ceremonies. There is not a
clergyman in town able to conduct
services. There will be no services in
the Lutheran church Sunday. The
Rev. Adam Weber, who lost a daugh
ter is still prostrated. The remains
of his child were removed to his home
last night. The body will be interred
at Booneville, Pa., this afternoon.
It rained slightly this morning and
there was a little fall of snow but this
did' not d'eter the work of digging
graves. A force of men started to dig
graves in Fairview and Union ceme
teries this morning ano3 they .will be
relieved at intervals.
The borough has decided to buy
eight lots for the burial of the un
identified dead. In the center of the
plot sufficient space will, be left for the
erection of a monument.
A pathetic incident in connection
with the opera house lire will be the
marriage tomorrow of Miss Gertrude
