Matt stared with a certain doubt
after Evans amiably insolent retreat.
Miss Leila Tenbrink could have
served professionally as cook to ]. P.
Morgan, or even to Tyrone Power
She was a four-handed cook; she
mixed salad dressing, washed and
dried the mixing bowl, fried the small
spicy Florida oysters, and washed out
a dish towel simultaneously. She
chased Matt and Millie out of the
small kitchen; they hung about the
door watching her as they would have
watched Helen Hayes rehearsing.

hesitated Matt.
Good. That gives me the time to

Matt and Millie were gaping at
each other.
''The girls right. She'd be wiz"

MIR. Herman Beagle, manager of the

never forgive Leila Tenbrink for the

fault it was, of owning the Silver

looked guilty.
Evan smiled and said, "You make

But every time l see my second

Ans: Don't you think if your
second husband loved you he
would try to show it other than
buying cold drinks and talking to
you when he sees you out? He is
terribly infatuated with the wOm-
an he is with right now and only
treats you nice because you did
mean something to him at one

you be nice to this third husband

Hello, Folks:

1ellOS OlhSs
Quite a few clubs round the two
towns are already planning par
ties and get-togethers for the
Christmas and New Years holiday
season. This 1941-42 winter sea-
son promises to have a real touch
of life and color. Of course, the
Thanksgiving Day events on the
goth will be the first to start the
two towns a-jumpin' and from
what l can gather here and there
nearly everyone's going to one of
the events-either the football
game or the Bonneville Ball at
Eagles Hall in the evening. And,
my, are the Bonneville Mayoral-
ty candidates ever busy these days,
what with campaign speeches, con-
slant political smiles, ETC., etc. One
wife of a certain candidate says
her hubby smiles so much she
doesn't know him these days, espe-
cially at night when he rehearses
his political platform in his sleep.
Thisa and Thata: Sorry to hear
that one of our dear little couples
mentioned not long ago as duet
ing so beautifully have hit quite
a discord. Saw FRED KANE
and MARIANNE CARTER 'Etea
for twoing" at the Just-Rite Bar
becue the other night. JOE
DANFORD, who breezed into town
last week from one of the U. S.
army camps, was really busy hunt
ing up all of his old dates. i
JANEABELLA MURPHY really
had quite a get-together at her
house last week, didn't she?
This Weeks Torch: "I'll IN
derstand" when played by the right
orchestra and sung by the right
torch singer can really make any
body go sentimental on you.
Is 1t True?-That friends of
MARCELLA COPELAND and
AUGUST PIPER are saying the
two are planning an aisle waltz
sometime this June? E. BUDDY
BLAIR of St. Paul and RHODA
LEE ESCUE of Minneapolis are

who are very well respected round

well-except their eldest daughter

they rarely speak. 1t seems as if
their daughter is of quite a shady
character and hard as nails when
it comes to cheating people out of
money.
Not very long ago our couple re-

from their daughter who stated
that she was tired of being away
from home and that she intended
coming to town soon. She also
casually stated that she intended
