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 fol
Xmas, New Years or anything. Oh
course, we must remember to keep
happy and to try to go on with ouI
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 q
rumor that ANITA MASON OF
Minneapolis plans to trek to the
altar with an out-of-toWn fellow on
Xmas day.
Thisa and Thata: THELM 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 ?
birthday last week. LEILA
BOYD also had a party at heI
house the other night. (DICK
MANN and KATHERINE DAVIS
were one of the quite devoted
couples on handy 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 a 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 lovelight. Il think
he finally bought apple Blossom
perfume. HaD
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 wedding anniversary
was due mighty soon for this dear
couple and, as usual, big splurge
was being planned. Well, to gel
down to the point of our story, il
appears that our wife was quite
excited over her coming anniver,
sary party and decided to give hel
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 boz
(hiddep), with the label of a Ger,
tain store on it. With the excite.
ment and curiosity of young chile
getting a pre-Xmas peek at he1
presents, she, thinking the gift was
an anniversary present to her from
hubby, opened it up and found it tt
be a 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 anc
all the guests were present wher
hubby handed his wife present
and, believe it or not, it was MOI
a fur coat but a household article
-. Our young wife was hurt, hor
riied and whatnot. All sorts Of
thoughts ran through her mind
was it for another woman-was il
stolen? No words did she speak t.
her husband for weeks, until mo-
long ago, when the police called a
her home to see her husband il
reference to a stolen coat. We arr
