Minneapolis spokesman. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1934-2000, 1941-12-12
Hello, Folks:


Hello, Folks:
With the world in such an up
heaval and the war hitting so close
round US it's kinda hard to work
up any sort of enthusiasm for
Xmas, New Years or anything. OF
course, we must remember to keep
happy and to try to go on with our
usual daily routine. Most of
the lassies round town are all dash
ing about with long faces, either
because their boy friend, sweet
heart or hubby is in camp or about
10 be drafted. As for the social
functions on the list of events
about town, most lassies are be-
moaning the fact that they will be
minus a lot of their usual escorts,
but most of them will either have
to rob the cradle or come with
someone else's lettering grand
pappy.
Love Goes On: Despite the turn
of world events, love, romance, ETC.,
still must go on. Just heard a
rumor that ANITA MASON of
Minneapolis plans to trek to the
altar with an out-of-tOWn fellow on
Xmas day.
Thisa and Thata: TIL ELM A
MURDOCH of Chicago will be
visiting friends soon in st. Paul
during holiday season. JOHN
ME MAE FIELDS (of the st. Paul
Drug Store Fields) gave a mellow
birthday party for her hubby, La
Fayette, who celebrated his I?
birthday last week. LEILA
BOYD also had a party at her
house the other night. (DICK
MANN and KATHERINE DAVIS
were one of the quite devoted
couples on hand FRANCES
FAIR is receiving long distance
calls from a certain gentleman in
Tennessee. By the way, 1 saw
one of Minneapolis most blase
male students down in one of the
loop stores just shifting perfumes
at the perfume counter. The sales
lady had about eight bottles out
and was spraying the perfume
around his face and did he ever get
a silly look on his face when he
looked up and saw Sal watching
him. He stammered and suffered,
etc., and told US it was a Xmas
present for his lovelght. Il think
he finally bought apple Blossom"
perfume. Hall
This Weeks Sob Story: There's
another war raging over on the st.
Paul front, involving a well known,
rawther young "societyfed" couple.
-. 1t seems a wedding anniversary
was due mighty soon for this dear
couple and, as usual, a big splurge
was being planned. Well, to get
down to the point of our story, it
appears that our wife was quite
excited over her coming anniver-
sary party and decided to give her
house a thorough cleaning. She
finished by taking all her excess
furniture down to her hubby's ga
rage in the backyard. While down
there she discovered a large box
(hiddep), with the label of a GER
tain store on it. With the excite
ment and curiosity of a young child
getting a pre-Xmas peek at her
presents, she, thinking the gift was
an anniversary present to her from
hubby, opened it up and found it to
be lovely fur coat. She wrapped
it up again and made away
for the house intending to say moth
ing to hubby about it. Well,
anniversary night rolled round and
all the guests were present when
hubby handed his wife a present
and, believe it or not, it was not
a fur coat but a household article.
-. Our young wife was hurt, hor-
rified and whatnot. All sorts of
thoughts ran through her mind
was it for another woman-was it
stolen? No words did she speak to
her husband for weeks, until not
long ago, when the police called at
her home to see her husband in
reference to a stolen coat. We are
ending this sad tale at this point
while the hubby is being questioned
