Show SAY IT AGAIN Sorry we didn't hear about this little story before Christmas, but It's good enough to bear repeating, repeat-ing, even if the time element is a bit haywire. Imagine. If you win. two little boys standing before a local department de-partment store Santa Claus a few days before Christmas. "Ho ho, ho ho," bellows Santa to . the first lad. "and who are you ?" Don't you remember me?" the lad Questions. - "You were at my house last year!" "Oh, yes," covered up the forgetful for-getful Santa as he turned quickly to the other boy and asked, "And what do you want for Christmas, m'boy?" "Holy smoke," expostulated the youngster, "ain't you got my letter let-ter ret?" (Thanks to Mrs. Delia Mitch-tn.) Mitch-tn.) Tuxd Junction Recently at the unique "winter nocturne" dinner dance sponsored at the Country club by members of Delta Delta Delta and PI Beta Phi sororities only one untoward Incident Inci-dent marred the evening's festivities festivi-ties . . . but this one brought up a point which may have far-reaching far-reaching effect this winter. The "iacident" occurred when Dick Lyon, one of the guests, lingered too long and too close to a burning candle and burned a hole tn his tuxedo jacket With typical collegiate aavolr fairs (that's French for what ye de whea yon can't swear) Dick extinguished the near-blace near-blace aad turned to his friends aad said matter of factly, "Well, wouldn't that burn you up?" Lota. Ann Cannon, one of the hostesses, saved the night for Dick by running to her near-by home and relieving her father of his tux jacket. Luckily it fit and Dick didn't have to finish the party In his shirt sleeves. But this sad story only serves to illustrate one point "Where is Dick or anybody else going to find a new tuxedo In Salt Lake?" Or haven't you tried to buy one of late? A hasty check of the city's men shops Indicates that men attending attend-ing formal affairs this winter either are going to (1) borrow pop's tux; (2) use that 1941 model if the moths haven't finished It; (3) take a chance of finding a rented tux which will fit here and there, or (4) wear a sport shirt and thumb his noae at convention. It's a sad fact but If there's a new tuxedo In Salt Lake we couldn't find it And there's only a couple of hundred models available avail-able for renting . . . ya pays ya money and ya takes ya choice! j |
