Howdy Folks:

All this talk about the antics of
the love bug seems to be very
amusing, but yesterday one of its
victims confessed to me that its
attacks leave one in a bad frame
of mind. He says it's a ruthless
old insect and its onslaughts are
grim and terrible. You do not
control it; it controls you. He
quoted the old song: "Never, never,
never fall in love if you would
happy be-" However, it seems to
affect some people differently. But,
friends, let's stop joking about it,
1 didn't realize the old bug was so
menacing; so from now on let's
change that old song to Love Bug
Stay Away From My Door," .
Well, summer is slowly moving
along. Soon We'll be locking up
the new Frigidaire and turning on
the blazing furnace. Was just
told FLO WARDS engagement
ring is just too beautiful for words.
-. This is the week of camp for
Phyllis Wheatley House at Silver
Lake. If you notice a sudden quiet
ness along our city streets, JUS re-
member that about 200 of our little
folks are snug as a bug in a rug
out at camp. MARGE and DOT
CARTER are both at camp. Poor
lii Claude and Drexel.) W.
GERTRUDE BROWN, Phyllis
Wheatley's Head Resident, has just
returned from a well-earned vaca-
ton, lookin' just too fine. =.
JOHNNY SEYMOUR'S uncle from
New York didn't catch his name)
is all right. If you don't know
what l mean, well, he's JUS too
easy on the eye. ;. SYLVESTER
CARTER seems to be havin' single
trouble these days. you'll come
out on top, Sylvester, my boy.) E. d.
The Minnesota-Iowa Convention,
plus the golf tournament, brought
one of the largest crowds of out
Of-town folks that Minneapolis has
ever known. The convention
was really a huge success and
eyeryone's waiting for the next big
affair the Minnesota-Iowa Club will
give. This VIM. MORRIS, Jr.,
of Iowa, son of the editor of the
"Bystander" in Des Moines, is a
rather interesting young sheik,
isn't he? e. l hear the folks who
made the dance at Happ's last Sat-
urday had a ball. What St.
Paul boy took what st. Paul girl
to the dance, had quarrel with the
girl, left her there and came home
with a Minneapolis gal? (Tsk!
Tsk! That was bad.) What
cute Minneapolis gal almost lost
her temper when her St. Paul beau
became slightly inebriated? .
Who's LAWRENCE MITCHELL'S
love interest these days? What
Minneapolis girl, who is engaged
to one of our most popular sheiks
about town, has ring that isn't
a real diamond? If you look close
ly you will note the ring is fake.
1t isn't from Woolworth's, though.
The boy was little too smart for
that. He paid exactly 1898 for it,
a good cut glass imitation. Us the
girl going to be hot when she finds
it out. I'm glad Pm not the
fiance.) Someone told me an
other cute little roadster with one
of them theyar funny aerials on
it) is parked in front of what girls
house on Rondo? Is JIMMY
SIMMS still chasing imaginary
mice? mo? Oh, l see it isn't
mice this time.) -. SIR NORMAN
Light is having quite a battle
with the love bug these days.
1t seems the bug has picked out
two girls for Norman and Norm
doesn't want to have double trouble
on his hands, he's like Sylvester
Carter, "single trouble" is enough.
:. The Golf Tournament at Keller
really drew big crowd. From diff
ferent remarks l don't know wheth-
er it was the golf interest or the
out-of-town men. Well, anyway, it
was a huge success. They tell
me this JESS HUTTON from
Omaha certainly could make the
gals hearts palpitate, and also
LONNIE SMITH of Omaha
crashed a few hearts. NINA
and ED SALTERS were enthusi-
astic golf on-lookers. HILDA
MOSES was one of the scorekeep-
ers. TOMMY DONALDSON,
OTIS WOODARD, BOBBY MUIR
PLY and JOHN WILLIAMS all
played swell games of golf. e..
Smiling JIMMY LEE, of course,
made his usual good scores. .
Well, I'll be dashing along, so
