Hello Folks:

Hello Folks:
When a holiday appears on the
calendar, most of the younger set
land older ones, too) are just all
a-iutter over its coming arrival.
-. You know why? Well, holidays
always mean an excuse for parties,
parties mean guests, and guests
mean that among the many invita-
lions sent out, there is always one
main guest that the party is given
for in secret honor. know three
young ladies who are giving Hal
lowe'en parties, and all three OF the
parties are really given to get the
same out-of-town boy there so their
nabbing process can proceed. (Ha!
l wonder which party he'll attend!
Methinks that he'll attend none but
take his real interest, who pays
him no mind, to the show. If she'll
go.) =. Are They SeriOus?: COR
NELIUS MOBILEY and GER
TRUDE REED do seem to be keep
ing quite steady company these
days, don't they? -. The CHAL-
MER LAWSONS look quite swank,
dashing round in their smart new
car these days. Have You
Heard That: IDA JONES, DOR
OTHY HALL, JANE LEE and
FRANCES MOORE have quite
good times at their Neighborhood
Meetings which they hold at each
others homes? :. My Girl Tues
day tells me she saw PEGGY
LAZENBERRY, who recently re-
turned from Baltimore looking too
fine for words. While in BALTIC. this
summer Sal met DR.. Robert L.
Jackson, BALTIC. physician, and he
spoke quite highly of Peggy, tell
ing Sal she had done some fine
work under him at one of the Bal
timore hospitals. -.
This Weeks Sob Story: What
young Mpls. girl is very heart
broken this week? Wouldn't you be
too if the following had happened
to you? Last summer our heroine's
lovelight came to town, never hav-
ing been in Mpls. before. The two,
from outward appearances, fell
hopelessly in love and have been
going together ever since. They
both had planned to marry Eat
least that's what our heroine was
led to believe) this fall. Our hero
inc had saved all the extra money
she could out of her small salary,
had a three-piece furniture outfit
just about paid for, and everything
seemed to be hunky-dory. Our
bride-to-be had been discussing the
fact that the wedding invitations
should be in the process of being
printed. The out-of-town boy and
our heroine made plans to go down
the next day to consult a printer
about the invites. The next day ar
rived and our hero Cor shall we
call him cad) didn't show up. Our
heroine waited and waited and be-
coming impatient checked up on
the delay and found he had packed
and left town. This left our heroine
in sad state, detected, depressed
and having terrific heartache, an
ache that only one can feel having
been Tilted practically at the altar
This happened a few weeks back
and just few days ago our heroine
received a night letter from friends

train she would come up, kids ant

one of st. Paul's sheiks about tow
