Inquisitive Sal

By Helen M. Scott
Hello, Folks:
Well, Easter gave us rather
chilly reception, but as the old
saying goes, ain the spring a
young woman's fancy fondly turns
to bonnets." So the Easter flow
err gardens turned out just the
same.
Flash of the Week: Guess who's
coming back to town? None other
than that mellow Jimmie Lunce-
ford's Band. Yes, they're coming
back to play for us at a swank
dance, to be given round about
the 23rd of April, at the Eagles
Hall. Lawdy, everyone's all agog
and excited as can be cause Lunce-
ford's bringing with him this time
twice as much rhythm, swing and
novelty as he brought last time.
The basketball game sponsored
by the Council at the Wheatley
House last week, between the girls
and men on the Campus, was real
ly a killer diller. Among the girls
who played were B. SHUCK, A.
BEATRICE and R. COLLIER. The
boys (who, by. the way, lost to the
femmes) were LOTT, PAYNE,
REED, A. HARRIS and DWIGHT
REED was the referee.
On the sick list: ELIZABETH
SHUCK and ELIZABETH WALK
Err are both at the University
hospital having tonsil operations.
New Car: THE RAYMOND
HATCHER'S Easter gift to them
selves is a sharp blue 1910 Plym-
outh.
Back in town: JIMMIE and
KATHERINE MITCHELL, who
are back in the city, having re-
Gently arrived from California.
The st. Thomas Episcopal
Church Style Show, as always,
went over with quite a bang. The
skit before the models appeared
was quite cute.
FRANCES BROWN, TESSIE
BURT, LOUISE CARMICHAEL,
MURIEL BOHANNON, FRAN
CES PEBBLES, MARIE
HUGHES, H E LEN CURRY,
BETTY CRAWFORD and GLOR-
AINE FASSETT, all portrayed
their respective, serious and hui
morous roles, exceedingly we'll.
Many voted the Shivers twins as
two of the very sweet models, es-
pecially so in the sports outfits
they modelled. TESS BURT was
alluring in an aqua taffeta eve
ming gown, trimmed in brown vel
vet. MRS. ROBERT VAN
HOOK was charming in a white
tulle evening gown. BAR
BARA (Smihng) MCCLURE made
a striking model in a blue evening
gown. That's that for the
models. All in all. the dance after
wards, too, was just too fine.
And, folks, are you adding up
your income and counting the noses
in your family, getting ready for
the much talked about 1910 Gen.
sus? Several of our girls were up
to North High School last week
studying and training assiduously
for the arduous task. One lady
round here who has been basking
in the sunlight as gay forty
flyer, says she's debated and de-
cided to give her true sixty
one for she's seen signs of hub
by's failing health, and she's look
ing towards that old age pension.
And, there's Benny next door,
who's going to add five years to
his age so he can be sure and get
in the first draft just in case we
go to war. So "you-alls" better be
getting your answers ready.
1t wasn't told to me 1 only heard,
but what slightly ihebriated miss
overjoyed over the coming of
spring, staggered all over 4th Ave.
S. Easter even?
What little boy at Sunday
school on being asked, "What is
the chief end of MANI" nonplussed
the teacher by promptly answer
ing, "The end what's got the head
on"
So, folks, we must be scurrying
along so until next week that's all
for today.
