Ripe, red currants have made their
appearance on the Washington market,
and now the housewife may get an

fashions, new and old.
''If were a young girl in this day"
said Miss Outhet, II, too, would fol.
low the wild fads and fashions. I'd
wear hobble skirts, harems, slit skirts,
and perhaps the latest sensation-rub-
Der gowns, too! While l think all
these extremes in dress are silly and
useless, yet it seems but natural that
young women should be devotees Of
fashion. In my young days l wore
hoop skirts because they were in
style, and I don't think I'd be any diff
ferent from young girls of today were
a girl again"
The claim made on behalf of Aunt
Betty was surprising news to Edwin
o. Gale, also of Oak Park, and George
Sinclair, 1907 Berkeley avenue, who
since the death of Fernando Jones
have been accorded that distinction.
They came to Chicago on May 25,
1885, on the same boat. Fernando
Jones also was aboard the vessel. He
did not land until the next day, but
owing to his continuous residence here
was considered the oldest inhabitant.
Aunt Betty" was brought to Chi
cago in the summer OF 1892 and has a
margin Of three years on her CON-
petitors She was born Oct 20, 1881,
at Oswego, N. Y. She judges she
was months old when her parents
came to Chicago.
Four years ago she was presented
with gold medal at the old settlers
picnic. She has not attended one Of
these reunions since because people
might think she went just to get an
other such token"
Aunt Betty" also is a pioneer resi-
dent of Oak Park. When she moved
there after the fire in 1871 there were
no streets or sidewalks. The few
residents travelled footpaths, and il
they went out at night carried Ian
terms. Aunt Betty" conducted a dry
goods store in the suburb for twenty
FIVE years. She recently celebrated
| her eightieth birthday.
