bachelors IN the older crowd. They
aren't the only ones in the teen
age bracket that are disturbed by
the worldly sophistication of some
Of the grandpas around my age, so
they don't have to feel so broken
up over it. Seeing they didn't sign
their names can print their let
ter without giving away any con-
fidences:
Dear Auntie Personalities:
We are three gels (if we can
borrow your word) who are very
requested because we happen to be
young! Seeing we are only seven
teen we are supposed to be infants,
but Auntie, we surely resent being
so-called infants. We'd like to skip
few years up to about twenty
one. Can you arrange it for us ?
We will forgive you if you can't do
that but we won't forgive you if
you don't answer some questions
that are bothering us very much.
Could you tell us how old are Son
ny Berry, John Nellie, Dick Mann,
Ollie Grantham, and James Por-
ter? Are they nice boys? What
type of girls do they like best?
Could you please fix it for us so
that we could at least MEET some
of the boys from other towns who
will be in the Twin Cities for the
Homecoming? Especially the one
who you sat on the roof with.
Wen all three dance at your we'd
ding if you answer our questions
right away.
Sincerely,
Three Babes-in-the-W Woods.
Well, well, well. Such nice sta
tionery you use! Got any extra
sheets you could donate me, Ell?
Goodness gracious, you poor little
girls, so worried about being seven
teen! When I was seventeen
thought I was hot-stuff and dyna-
mite, s'help me. Now about those
ages of these gents you ask about.
1 must confess / don't know how
old they are, although l have some
ideas on the subject. 1 didn't ask
'etn because I knew they wouldn't
tell me anyway, and 1 don't exactly
blame them. No one wants to see
his age publicly advertised, even
if it's the right age. Yes, guess
they're nice boys, although that
word mice" is rather ambiguous.
I think they're pretty nice and one
thing is certain, they're among the
most eligible bachelors left around
town. Somethin' tells me they
know it, too. I don't know what
type of gals they like best. A few
of the lads seem to be rather vague
on the subject themselves so I
couldn't expect to speak up for
them. Dearie me, it looks like the
older girls have a corner on the
Homecoming dates already, on &C
counta' they can keep the late
hours and party-to-party routine
without getting in trouble at home.
Seeing you girls didn't sign any
names, how would ! know who you
are? The young man who sat on
the roof is quite definitely promised
to a pal of mine in st. Paul pro-
vided he decides to show up for the
weekend. Anyhow, I'll bet that if
any of your mothers ever heard of
you even THINKING about sitting
on a roof, you'd all get tanned
good. You just sit tight and decide
to be contented with being the age
you are. The years are going to
pass so fast that you'll be using
wrinkle cream before you know it,
so don't get all excited over moth
ing.
Ahem. The football season will
be declared officially open when
Auntie goes down to the station to
see the Gophers off for Seattle.
They tried to pull fast one last
year by putting the boys on the
train early, but six of us gals who
