Saturday morning and raised the levees

Mrs. Ernest F. Nichols, of New York
city, was the guest of honor at an
afternoon given Saturday by Mrs.
Arthur L,. Nichols, Miss Clough and
Miss Katharine Clough at their house,
401 Tyler street. The assisting
friends were Mrs. Albert T. Reid, Mrs.
Charles Brooks Thomas. Miss Kate

Ralph E. Valentine. Mrs. James B.
Havden, Mrs. S. J. Bear, Mrs. Daniel
Edward Esterly, Mrs. Frederick E.
Nipps, and Miss Margaret Weiss. The

daisies and roses. Miss Esther Nich
ols, the young daughter of the guest
of honor was at the punch bowl. Mr.
and Mrs. Nichols, the former professor
of physics at Columbia university, are
here for a short visit to his brother,
Mr. Arthur L. Nichols on their way to
Manhattan ' to visit another brother,
President E. R. Nichols of the Kansas

The Illustration shows a good model
for a linen, chambray or pongee gown
for a young girl. The original gown
from which the sketch was made was
of pale pink linen, with a detachable
guimpe of embroidered mulle. The
bodice was laid in stitched plaits, and
the little revers on either side of the
front plait were braided at the edges
with white and pink soutache. Smail
buttons of pink linen embroidered In
white were also used.

The Mean Old Atchison Globe is jeal
ous, sore and peeved becausee two To-
peka women . are attracting attention
in Chicago where they have not yet
learned that Atchison is on the map.
This is what the Globe says: The
rivalry between the candidates for
president and vice president is as mild
as the harvest moon compared with the
rivalry for supremacy in Chicago be
tween two Topeka women: Mrs. David
Mulvane - and , Mrs. '" Chauneey Depew,
(Note: The Globe always calls It De
pew. What Is fame?) Though they
came from that little propped-up town
on the Kaw, they have taken complete
control of the committee meetings pre
liminary to the gathering of the Re
publican national convention,. -and the
fate of the country lies in the hands
of one of them. But which?' Mrs. Mul
vane came to Kansas from New York,
and this gives her some distinction.
To come from New York, out here in
Kansas, is regarded as something won
derful. No native Kansan ever had
the audacity to oppose anyone who
came from New York. On the other
hand Mrs. Chauneey Depew is a bride
and her gowns are newer, and she is
some years younger than her rtvaM
The Chicago papers are filled with
descriptions of the gowns worn by
these women wire-pullers, to the ex
clusion of what goes into the plat
form. For instance, Mrs. Mulvane has
a cream net gown over pale blue chif
fon, cut low in the neck, which helps
her in manipulating the Republicans.
When she wears it, they fall dead
around her, waiting to do her bidding.
She has only to command and they
obey. But Mrs. Dewey! Oh, that we
knew some of those names in the dry
goods advertisements so that we could
describe a dress she wears, which
draws every committeeman away from
the side of Mrs. Mulvane. Topeka is
so absorbed in the struggle between
these women for possession of the reins
and the whip, that she is neglecting to
mop out her dooryard. Wild-eyed, and
breathless, all interest centers In Chi
cago. Leavenworth Post: Invitations have

Two Topeka girls had the Grandest
Time, the other day.- They took all the
visiting cards off the hall table and had
a knockfest with the original owners
of the cards as subjects. The rule was
to say something disagreeable about
every one. But they found one card
which had been left by a girl who is
so sweet and likeable that they could
only think of one thing to knock her
for: because she didn't like a certain
man they like. The visitinsr card nar-
ty is really easier and just as much
fun as a city directory party.

two love affairs in town still in the
preliminary and tentative stages (that
tentative is good, too, by the way)
which will end in a case of marry.
.
A strikingly attractive visitinir a-irl
looks all the better when vmi learn
that her beauty is absolutely naturaL
sue ooesn t make up in the least. Al
though she is a decided blonde she
didn't make the decision herself for
she doesn't use peroxide, paint or
powder. . ,
Doesn't it reallv seem to vou that
we have to hear too much from some
quarters . about "family position" In
this town, in view of the fact that all
Topeka families are equally good thir
ty mues away from home and that
when Our Best People go as far away
as Kansas City to live they never
make a ripple in the social puddle?
