Hello Folks:

Hello Folks:
AS this is Xmas Eve, I'm re-
minded of the dear old poem,
"'Twas the night before Xmas and
all through the house, not a crea-
ture was stirring not even a mouse,
etc." Doesn't that give you thrills
and chills from the youngest up to
the eldest? By the time this
reaches you, all the excitement will
have died down and we will be en-
joying our gifts and wondering how
soon we can run down and ex-
change them for our right size, etc,
etc. It's lots of fun anyway, "ain't
it,"

This Weeks Sob Story Cor Shall
We Call 1t A Laugh):
He's one of the local collegian's
round town, nice personality, gets
rather "brainy" acting at times
though, and is secretly engaged to
one of the popular" femmes in
the Twin Cities. For months he's
been saving his little extra change
to buy his lovelight a Snowy"
Xmas gift. He had saved up $2A0O
and had planned to get her a pa
jana and robe set forgetting all
this time that he owed an exor-
bitant book and fee bill at the
Univ Last week, our hero was
approached by one of the depart
ment heads at the U. and was told
that he'd have to pay his fee or
else. So the little $24.0O was paid
out to the U. for the fees and books
instead of for big Xmas gift.
Rather than go barehanded to our
heroine's home on Xmas Eve, our
hero has pawned his real heart (his
tuxedo and tails) to get some
money for Xmas. He had polished
many a shoe to get that tuxedo last
year.
Now here's the hitch-The girl
in question is party crazy and
would raise cain rather than miss
a party. She's determined to go
to either the Cameo or Forty Club
Party. Now our hero is in a real
fix, for she says she'll never speak
to him again unless he takes her to
these parties and he knows he has
no tuxedo to wear. What would
you do? Would you buy her a pres
ent and lose her by not going to
the parties or would you get your
tuxedo back and take her to the
parties minus a Xmas gift? =.
