future is always waiting Tor
you to help yourself"
John Newton Baker
This is the time of the year when
that old saying, There's no place
like home" is appreciated by every
one.
The night spots will Be kind Of
low on business, now that Jack
Frost has decided to pay US a three
or four month visit. There's moth
ing like spending a quiet, restful
evening in a warm home on the cold
blizzardy winter nights.
Speaking of cold nights, the Loaf
er's club certainly picked a whopper
of one to give their annual battle
of bands. Cold as it was, Stem hall
was well-flled with quite a few
Minneapolitans, including Carmen
Allen, Ida Allen, Elmo Jones,
"Footie" Hughes, Roy Crawford,
and Earl Bowman.
A few of the prominent members
of the younger Sanity City social
set were Dorothy Woodford,
dressed in a brown classic sport
dress with painted French cuffs,
Verlene Price, looking very demure
in a beautiful plain draped black
dress (long skirted, Of Counsel
with a double strand Of pearls
around the neckline, that always
makes a stunning combination,
Charlotte Perfect was also sporting
a beautiful fox-tuxedo wine-colored
coat that is simply stunning.
Pauline Ray and Margaret
Brown looked quite chic dressed in
the latest "Gibson Grip fashion
Qong-sleeved blouse and long flared
skirt. Also a newcomer to our
Sanity City-Opal McCleveland, OF
Kansas City, Mo-, was making her
first acquaintance with our type OF
dances (great). Opal plans to stay
until December.
Addie Mae Young was also in
Gibson Girl attire. Jocelyn Jones
made a striking picture in black
draped dress with pearls for an off,
set. Gloria O'Neal, Bobby Cart
wright, Jane House, Vivian Duke,
Evelyn Lewis, Sarah Hill, Cleve-
land Ray, Herman Tate, Earl Web
err. Nelson Mccoy, Booker Ellis
Terrell jackson, and LaRohn Lati-
mer were just handful in the big
crowd.
LOafer members and their
guests, Ernie Johnson, Shirley
Terrell, Mr.. and Mrs. Lloyd
Gambol, Mr.. and Mrs. Moses
Wallace, Kenny Jones and
guest, Bulbs Powell and guest,
Boyd Davis and guest, Frank
Schine and Veda Lowe "a new
twosome around the Twin
Cities).
Others were Zachary Munson and
Dorothy Woodford, Ralph Graham
and Virginia Robinson, Robert Ora
ham and Charlotte McNeal, John
ny O'Neal and guest, Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert Foster, Edgar Pillow and
yours truly held an after party at
the Elks where a very funny but
painful accident happened.
1t seems that one Of the Loafer's
guests-a St. Paul girPs-shoes
were too slippery to walk down the
flight Of icy stairs leading to the
street. So one Of the Loafers (Sir
Gallagher himself) being a gentle
man, offered to carry her. He made
it fine until the last three steps
where he slipped and fell-girl and
all. Heads cracked on the ice, and
almost left a dent in the cement.
Badly shaken up but in a gay mood,
they proceeded. One holding her
head and the other-just rubbing
period.
Also same night, but different
place, saw an elderly lady about 80
or more, who wasn't fetched in the
noggin, but really believed she was
the original Salome, the greatest
snake dancer Of her time. And she
put on a floor show, right in the
middle of a first class night spot,
which would have split your sides
because, no doubt, her age and
rheumatism kept her from dancing
very well.
And so an end to n perfect
but so different evening.
Also forgot to mention how per
fectly lovely Mrs. Payne looked
Saturday night at Stem hall. Her
dress was truthfully one Of the
most beautiful I've ever seen. II
was blue lame, Of the latest style,
and long plumes in her hair (curled
back from her hair) with a bag
in all matching colors. 1t all blended
perfectly with her coloring.
Invitations are out for the Sadie
Hawkins dance at Halle this Sat
urday, which enables the girls to
catch their dream men. tn be
given by the Coed club.
That does it for now. Ny head is
sore from a fall l had. isn't this
ice awful7)
