Hello, Folks:


Hello, Folks:
Well, Thanksgiving has passed
and we are all looking forward to
Christmas and its festivities.
A lot of our attractive (but schem-
ing we must admit) gals about
town are already planning the
parties they're going to give and
what special boys to invite. l heard
a group of male students converS-
ing the other day about who they
were planning to eat Christmas
dinner with. One of them said he
was using a nail-file to sharpen his
teeth for the good old turkey.
Can You Guess Who? What out
of-town art student attending
school here has been nicknamed
King of Barneys"? Of you think
hard you might catch the jOke.)
Not Double but Triple-LE ROY
GENTRY of Chicago seems to be
having triple trouble these days
and does he love it!
Did any of you read about the
following incident which happened
over in Europe? 1t seems as if a
naval officer who lost his leg in the
last war was given command of a
certain ship. In the heat of the
battle on the high sea a cannonball
took off his wooden leg so that he
fell upon the deck. One of the crew
thinking the officer had been
wounded again called for a sur
geOn. Upon seeing the surgeon the
officer cried: mo, no, send for a
carpenter" What sober st. Paul
fellow was put out of Bells the
other night for making too much
noise? Sounds irOnical, but some
folks make more noise than a bar
rel of inebriates.)
Out-of-town visitors: ANNE
RAYNER and DOLORES CROOK
of Chicago were in the Twin Cities
last week looking the town over
and visiting Anne's brother,
AHMED RAYNER. ELMER
HARRIS recital last week drew a
very nice crowd. Everyone agreed
that Elmer did some good singing
and has a fine voice. Among those
present in the audience were EVA
and ELIZABETH LEE, DOROTHY
HALL, CHUBBY BRADY, MARY
LEWIS, AUDREY BEATRICE, o.
c. WILLIAMS a md GEORGE
BROOKS. A small group of
gals and boys about town stepped
over to the Sterling Club after the
recital and had quite a party.
BYRON RIFE and JOHN
BROOKS both seemed very inter
ested in FLORENCE WARD.
Was FOSTER BROWN whispering
sweet nOthings in LOUISE
MEALS ears? ELMER HAIR
RIS was the most popular man
there. He seemed to be giving a
lot of his attention to ADELAIDE
SYKES. By the way, who was
giving PEGGY PETTICORD the
once over? Well, that's enuf
key-hole shopping at that party, so
III stop before l give away any
secrets.
Did you hear ABOUT K. of St.
Paul who found pocketbook in the
loop with 500 in it? He returned
it to the owner who didn't even
thank him, but kicked because the
man didn't pay him interest for the
time he had it. Now, folks, R. is
asking around if honesty is the
best policy.
Halle Q. Brown Staff enter,
tanned the Phyllis Wheatley staff
at Halle @. the other night with
a very nice party. Some played
cards while others danced. AnC
the refreshments-well, Halle Q
went down the line with them. Il
was fun seeing those two practica
jokers get together, JIMMIE LEE
and RAY HATCHER. (They wer,
funnier than the Three Stooges.,
MISS l. MYRTLE GARDEN, Hal
lie @. Browns Head Worker, made
a charming hostess, seeing to i
that all present had a good time
-. Phyllis Wheatley's Head Resi-
dent was attractively attired in ;
blue teal street dress.
So, folks, l must be dashini
along and don't let the Christina
rush get you down.
YOur old nal.
