Howdy, folks:

Fall is just around the corne,
now. The squirrels are putting
away their winter acorns; tn,
women are gossiping about new
fall clothes and the men-well
what are they usually doing-prob
ably trying to get rid of the ga
they have and date up a new one
/ wonder what that mellow
Fourth Avenue South Sheik is do
ing now that that cute st. Pau
girl is engaged to someone else
(He probably isn't sitting home
melting.) -.
This week was the week out al
Silver Lake, Phyllis Wheatley
Camp. Sal went up for the
weekend and enjoyed the breezes
and snooped around, for many OF
our popular young folks were
there, most of them being counsel,
lors. ALICE ONQUE and
JOHN THOMAS did swell jobs as
supervisors over the camp.
You should have seen JOHNNY
SEYMOUR walking around with a
large paddle in his hand. Il don't
believe Johnny ever got a chance
to really use it cause the kids be-
haved o. K. JUNE HAWKINS
was really beloved by the girls as
counsellor. (Say, did you hear
about the handsome out-of-towner
who is so engrossed in her?)
RALPH WARD Clos brother)
was the admiration of all the
young gals at camp. MARTHA
KAY seemed to enjoy herself,
truckin' around in a pair of brown
Stacks. BETTY MARSHALL
and MARGE CARTER did some
good jobs of counselloring, too. q.
DON SESSIONS got hit with a
baseball one day and the result was
a black eye and, on top of that, he
got one of these Charley Horses"
in his leg. Don had to spend the
whole day in the nurses cottage.
(You didn't mind that, Don, did
you?) And speaking of the nurse,
charming DOROTHY WILSON,
honest, don't know whether it was
Dorothy or what. Anyway, there
were more young boys and girls
having mosquito bites, ETC., treat
ed. Frankly speaking, Dorothy did
some good work on her job, cause
there were quite a few more seri-
Gus things to be treated than mos
quito bites. TOM JONES was
at home up there in the wilderness.
Tom says that's where he'd like to
hve-up in the woods of bissful
solitude. ..
l hear quite a few of our popu-
lar Twin City folks are going out
to the tennis tournament Sunday,
Aug. 29, at Chicago Field, at TOO
A. M. I'll probably see some Of
you good folks out there.
What St. Paul girl who was 60
ing with a Minneapolis boy and is
now broken up with him, sends the
boy in question a postal telegraph
every Wednesday evening with the
following words: Darling, still
love you. Forgive me. I'll never
run out on you again." Signed
-- That's for you to fill
in.
Have you met Mr.. and Mrs. Le-
roy Brown from Savannah, Ga. 1?
Swell folks are they, judging from
their hospitality, culture and re-
finement. They leave soon for their
home in the South and will be
greatly missed by the many friends
they have made while here.
We hear DR.. w. D. Brown is
working on a new theory involving
the cure of cancer. If you succeed,
Doctor, you will have conferred a
great boon on humanity.
What do you think of this for
an advertisement, which appeared
in a Bremen journal? 1t read as
follows: "a young gentleman, on
the point of getting married, is de-
sirous of meeting a man of ex-
perienee who will dissuade him
from the STEP" Possibly some Of
you gentlemen readers would like
to answer this ad.
Well, folks, I'll have to be dash
ing along TIL next week.
