known Topeka people. Lieut. Clark
son Millspaugh, son of Mrs. F. R.
Millspaugh of .1163 Fillmore street,
went into a dugout one day and found
a postcard lying there addressed to
Mrs. Lee Monroe of Topeka. The
writer had received one of the tobac
co kits whioh Mrs. Monroe had sent
and this card was to thank her for it.
Lieutenant Millspaugh filled out the
card and sent it to Mrs. Monroe In a
letter to his mother, which reached
here a few days ago.

Miss . Louise F. Curtis will arrive
from Omaha, Neb., tomorrow morning
to take the place as girls' secretary of
the Y. W. C. A. Miss Clare Arm
strong, who has held that position for
several years, will leave tomorrow for
her home in K.aie. Fa., lor a few
weekV rest, after which she will be
general secretary of the T. W. C. A. at
Butler, Pa.
Miss Curtis has for the past year
been educational and industrial secre
tary of the T. W. C. A. at Omaha.
She Is a graduate of Nebraska univer
sity and spent one yearat the Y. W.
C. A. training center at Minneapolis,
Minn. She was during the year after
her training office secretary of the
Minneapolis association, after which
she accepted a position as educational
director of the association at Omaha.
After serving in this capacity for three
years she became educational and in
dustrial secretary at Omaha, which
position she gave up to come to To
peka as secretary of girls work.
THERE'S A GIRL IN OCR TOWS
Who was attempting to entertain
one of the famous "Blue Devils" of
France who was here for a Rota club
party a few weeks ago. This young
lady knew that the French uniform Is
a light blue, but she had not heard
that the Blue Devils wore dark blue.
Evidently she thought there was noth
ing In a name anyway, when the
conversation lagged she astonished the
soldier and paralyzed the other mem
bers of the club, who heard, by asking
him if he had "dyed his uniform." .
The ladies working with the Masonic
unit of the Red Cross, who can knit
for
socks,' are requested to meet at Ma
sonic temple Thursday afternoon be
tween the hours of 2 and "4 o'clock.
The yarn has come and will be given
out at that time.
A crowd of girls who spent the
week-end camping at Wakarusa,
chaperoned by Miss Dorothy Durham,
included Misa Marian Squires, Miss
Ruth Wilson, Miss Isabel Southern.
Miss Bell Kellogg. Miss Margaret.
Ripley and Miss Mary Tasker.
When the men are asked to give up
their day's smokes to contribute a
dime each to some cause, no matter
how worthy, we wonder how many
of them actually make the sacrifice
on their cigars. Wouldn't it be easier
for most of them to give up anything
else which is a. daily habit than their
smokes? And we imagine many of
them figure this out long before the
day is over. A woman would make a
great sacrifice, give her dime to a
worthy cause and feel like a heroine
all day long, but men, especially smok
ing men, are different, and. we don't
care it they are. However, a man
with a cigar in his mouth wouldn't
nave tne nerve to refuse, so it
good way to raise money, neverthe
less.
Atpublic eating places In Holland
one is eitner a "regular or a "casual
customer. . The casual oustomcr mav
have his luncheon and dinner of the
following ' dishes: Luncheon One ;
course of a. choice from fish, game,
posdtry. controlled or "free" meat,
with greens and potatoes: a half
course as an entree or as a sweet; a
dessert. Dinner is the same as lunch
eon with the addition of soup and
another vegetable. If a "causual"
takes his meals a la carte, an extra
dish of seme non-controlled food" may
be served. In this respect only does
the casual customer have an advan
tage over the regular. "Free" meat
includes sweetbrer.ds, lcid,.ey, liver,
tongue and any tinned meats.
It is interesting to note that, with
the exception of tinned meat, the
above list' of free meats is a list the
food administration suggests we get
better acquainted with in America. We
have a plentiful supply of these little
used meats . nd as they are not being
shipped to Europe at all they make
excellent substitutes for the beef
which is in great der .anr abroad.
. Whfti a girl whose husband im a
soldier in the army, but who has not
yet gone across the seas, comes home

The Bullard house at Tonganoxie Is
one of the most attractive country
homes In the state. It is a large house
but is built In ". ungalow style, of
brown shingles. With Its surroundings
of beautifnl shrubbery It reminds one
of the attractive bungalow homes of
southern California.. Many Topeka
people have been guests here at differ
ent times.
