hold quite a fascination for the
Twin Cities younger set. Next to
"partying" the skating fad holds
the limelght. The saying about
town is, eff you don't have skat-
ing date, you just don't rate"
"Baseballing" is back in vogue. Not
only do the males about town ap-
pear to be engaging in this favor
tie sport and pastime, but many a
popular matron can be found down
at Sumner Field, lodging her
household duties and at the same
time knocking home runs hither
and yon. It's a swell game and
gives many a matron the chance
to work off some of her temper by
knocking a baseball rather than
hubby's cocoanut.
Meandering through one of Min
neapOlis' night spots last week.
Saw FLORENCE CASSIUS look
ing all "Hawaiianish" with her
long, black hair, greeting various
friends. Also saw MRS. AN
DREW OWENS, Sr. FLOR
ENCE WARD had what st. Paul
fellow SEEM stars every time she
waltzed by. (Mebbe she didn't
know it, thoughD FOSTER
BROWN and LOUISE NEAL,
looking quite "engagifed." E. The
BRADY-LEWIS twosome hearts
seem to still be beating as one.
Overheard and saw what young
couple having quite a spat with
each other, ending with the gal
giving the boy in question a sound
slap on his schnozzla and leaving
him there and then with a hurried
"cold shoulder" walk out the door
and home.
Faces About Town: Saw many
a Twin Citian out at the Operetta
given at Wheatley House last week.

MRS. MILDRED BOHANON, MR..
and MRS. CLAUDE MASON,
ROBERT L. WILLIAMS, Jr., and
AUGUST PIPER, from outward
appearances, were fully enjoying
themselves. CHARLES busy

neapolis centers, and at the same
time posting bulletins for some fu-
ture St. Paul event. LAWR-
ENCE WRIGHT, strutting down
4th Ave. S. smiling and twirling
his watch chain.
On Ice? What st. Paul gal
seems to be doing all the courtin'
these days with what out-of-town
collegian? Specials and kilograms
are just few of the courtin' meth
ods.)
This Weeks Novelette,. D.. What
collegian invited a demure Mime
apois maid to attend a social
event round town? The maid was
overjoyed and was about to accept
when party No. 3, a femme and
friend" of said maid, overheard
the conversation and calling our
little heroine off to one side told
her that she was a fool to accept,
since the hero had asked some
other girl first, and she had refused
to go with him. This, said
friendly" would make her a sec
ond fiddle if she accepted the date.
So the demure maiden refused the
date and-some days later she
learned that "Friendy" was seen at
this particular event with none
other than the collegian that she
had so proudly turned down. And
now our little heroine is upset and
wants to know what she should do
about it. So, if anyone has a So
luton to this little problem, just
send it in.
Ability and Inability: Overheard
at another night club recently: He:
Couldn't you lend me five dol
lars?" She: eyes, 1 could, but
won't" He: 'Then do you think
that l wouldn't pay it back?" She:
eyes, you would, but you couldn't"
