Hello, Folks:

With Christmas almost here
everyone is busy scurrying round
getting presents for the light and
loves of their lives, and for some
others who are not their loves but
must be remembered. In a week
or so all will be over and we will
be once more engaged in writing
the usual thank you notes. at
was just what / wanted" and at
the same time will be planning to
skip out early from the office the
next day to exchange all those hid
eous neckties and various perfume
sets that flood the shops around
Christmas. But we all love all this
exchange of mysterious little pack
ages and wouldn't give it up for
anything in the world.
Home for the holidays: The
Three Chicago Musketeers, Wynn
kan Blinkam and Nod (ROY HAIR
RISON, LEROY GENTRY and
AHMED RAYNOR) are leaving
soon to spend Christmas holidays
with their families, friends and
sweethearts in Chicago.
Christmas wedding bells:
Doesn't that sound interestingly
VIRGINIA LEWIS and HENRY
ROBINSON will be ringing their
wedding and Christmas bells at the
same time during this month.
Back in town: Charming
THERESA JAMES, who just
breezed into town from st. Louis,
Mo. Theresa is a nurse at the
Homer G. Phillips in st. Louis.
Cupidizing: LORRAINE HAIR
RIS and ALBERT BLACK seem to
have eyes for only each other,
haven't they? :. BARBARA Nc
CLURE is said to be expecting an
out-of-town boy friend to visit her
during the Christmas holidays.
(His initials are P. H. and, by the
way, why have certain folks nick
named him Honolulu Hank"?)
Leaving town: JEWELL
MANN has left the Twin Cities
for Langsten University, Okla
homa, to attend school. {.
TIMOTHY MILLS is very busy
these days parading through diff
ferent stores, reading advertise
ments and asking friends of his
just what he should give his love-
light for Christmas. Originality
counts, boy.) :. With such pop
ular group of young men making
their winter stations in Washing
ton, it looks as if the male escort
bureau will be rather depleted.
This weeks laugh: Have you
heard about the st. Paul girl who
was quite stuck on a certain out
of-town boy residing in st. Paul ?
IT'S said our heroine was greatly
attracted to our hero because of
his beautiful head of hair, although
since going with him he had al
ways appeared to be so finicky
about her or any other folks touch
ing or caressing his crown of glory.
The other night he mentioned
something playfully that sorta in
furiated her and she, in turn,
grabbed hold of his gorgeous hair
to shake him, when 10 and behold,
he let out a howl that could be
heard all over the house and may
be around the block. Our heroine
couldn't quite understand why that
little pulling hurt him so and
when he suddenly took his depar-
ture upon the ground of feeling i'll
she became more suspicious. After
he had gone she sat down to pom
der on the queer actions of this
dear b. f., when she noticed on the
floor little tuft of hair which
plainly belonged to him. She
picked it up to caress it and upon
doing so noticed that the lock OF
hair was attached to a piece OF
gluey scalp. At this point we must
leave our heroine, as well as our
selves, in a very perplexed state OF
mind. Could it be possible that
this noble, fine-looking youth is
wearing a wig and is bald-headed
underneath? You know him well,
folks, but far be it for this col
umn to be cruel enough to give
away his initials.
So, friends, as everyone is busy
we won't burden you longer. Every
minute is precious for the next two
weeks, so here's good luck to all.
Your pal,
SAL.
