HellOw, Folks:


HellOw, Folks:
Are you getting into the Xmas
spirit? Better hurry up, for that
dear old Santa seems to be in every
window bowling and scraping and
reminding US to get into the rush
and buy up all the good looking
neckties and kerchiefs for our be-
loved men folks. What was the
argument about at the perfume
counter of a certain Minneapolis
department store last Saturday af-
ternOOn, between two well known
men of our group? One was mar
ried and the other single. And who
will receive the lovely box they
finally bought?
Rosies and POsieS on the Avenue:
ANNETTE HATTON, vending her
way towards W. Central Ave. the
other evening, attractive, despite
the cold blasts blowing about. . q.
AIDE SYKES headed
towards University Ave. with plen-
ty of swing in her walk. LOR-
RAINE HORRIS, with books in
one hand, cartokens and gloves in
the other hand, making a mad dash
for the streetcar, headed out
towards U. of NJ. GEORGINA
COLLINS, looking quite chic, dash
ing down 4th Ave. the other night.
And who was the Rose who
posed in front of the Dreamland
Cafe so long the other mite, wait
ing for D. of st. Paul? She waited
so long she finally looked like an
icicle. FLORENCE CASSIUS
is one interesting girl. Heard a
group of boys the other day, trying
to define the certain glamour that
Florence possesses above other
young matrons. They ended the
conversation by saying, 1--WE can't
describe what we admire about her,
but she's just got it," Too bad,
boys, but Brutus C. is top man.
Storm Antics: Couldn't ]. get his
car started Monday morning? We
saw it was not parked in its usual
lot that day. In fact, only four cars
appeared there all day old man "R"
said. And who was being
pushed through the Go sign at Lyn-
dale Ave. and Sixth the same morn
ing, while he bravely steered on
with his front wheel going exactly
sideways? Did he ever look silly.
Then what was the matter with
that Minneapolis gal the same
mite? She got halfway out of her
garage and couldn't go on and
couldn't even get back in again.
Was her heart CONCEALED by the
cold or was the motor chilly?
This Weeks Song: "a Penny For
Your Thoughts" is quite the song
about town: Cute tune, sweet senti-
ment and leaves plenty to your
imagination.
Just received the following letter
from one of our readers:
Dear Sal: l read your column
faithfully every week and wish
to see my name among the
mentioned. am a cute st. Paul
girl, 10 years of age, and have
plenty of personality and am
quite enamored with Jimmy
Carter of Minneapolis. Do you
think have a chance?
Signed,
Young and Hopeful
Ans: Well, well, Young and
Hopeful, methinks you might have
a chance, as Jimmy is quite easy
to talk to and is anxious to meet
new and attractive girls.
Who was that shiek in the gray
Overcoat waiting for last Sunday
mite at 5th Ave. s. and 39th? We
saw a miss with black furred boots,
hurrying that way but we didn't
have time to wait and see. Some
times ones own business is too i'm
pOrtant to bother.
This Weeks Heart ThrOb: Miss
"X" of St. Paul has been spending
hours and hours secretly planning
and preparing for a swell Xmas
party which she intends giving dur
ing the holiday season. Gifts, ex-
pensive foods and wines are to be
served, also a lovely orchestra is
to be hired for the evening. The
guest list is long but there is one
name on the list for which the
