INQUISITIVE SAL
By Helen Nj. Scott
Hello Folks:

Hello Folks:
The younger set always has
something exciting to talk about or
some coming event to get enthusi-
astic over. This week, besides dis
cussing their Easter outfits, the
Lunceford dance on Thursday, the
girls especially, are bemoaning the
fact that they're losing so many of
their fine young escorts about town.
IT'S said some of the St. Paul
femmes felt mighty bad when SAM
REED and RICHARD STOKES
were drafted. BILL SMALL'S
wife has a rather lonely look these
days, too, bein' that Bill was also
called by Uncle Sam. . HARVEY
PITTMAN, one of Minneapolis
Lochinvars, says he's quite sure
he'll be in the next bunch of
draftees. Well, such is life.
Harmonizing Duets? JUNE
HAWKINS and ALBERT HARRIS
are one of the latest "duos," being
seen around the two towns. &.
FRED SHUCK and NITA WAL
LACE also seem to be SEEM quite
a bit of each other.
This Weeks Tale of Two Cities:
She is one of the leading matrons
in the Twin Cities; has a fine up
standing husband and family but
doesn't appreciate them. Her hus-
band is nothing but putty in her
hands to do with what she pleases.
For the past six months she has
been enjoying one of her new
whims. That is, she has been tax
ing from her husbands monthly
salary (Which he gives her every
pay day. a neat little sum, some
times as much as $25, which she
gives to a worthless, handsome
young fellow about town every
month. This attractive no good fell
low in the meantime is laughing
his head off at the matron, telling
all his friends what a sap she is.
He squanders the money on drinks
and younger chicks and she, like
fool, thinks that he's saving it for
a planned rendezvous they are sup
posed to have this spring in Kansas
City. Let's hope this matron wakes
up and realizes what Ounce she is
and starts approaching her family.
Wedding Bells Will Ring: For
CHRISTINE CARTER and WILL
SON JOHNSON, who will be mar
ried round the first part of April.
