To sum up this seasons new mil

that the head sizes are large; that the

the crowns are moderately high; that
the tailored hats are small, the dress

that the smartest hats have but lit

A buckle, for example, covered with
fur will give a smart touch to a vel

little fur is needed. A few scraps OF
satin can be shaped into wings and fin.

thus make a new style trimming for

$4,000 for a Ghost.

A market value las beeH placed
upon healthy, regularly operating
ghosts that are guaranteed to moan
and shrek and send shivers down the
spines Of the timid. The Chicago mar.
ket for spooks was strong today, with
$4,000 as the closing figure. OF course
it was In Chicago
It was the board of review that
ruled upon the money value Of real
ghost when the assessment figure on
the property of J. S. Deuterlander, at
No. 1915 South Oakley avenue, was
cut from $4,000 to $4,000 after the
owner had convinced the tax experts
that haunted house, instead Of being
an asset as novelty, was in reality
white elephant on his hands.
According to Deuterlander, a young
woman met a mysterious death in the
house four years ago. The tenants
who rented from him after that all
moved away within month or so
after signing the lease They said
their slumbers were disturbed BY
groans and shrieks and the voice of q
phantom woman calling upon them to
bring her slayer to justice For three
years, Deuterlander says, he has been
unable to rent the house, and conse-
quently thinks his tax assessment too
high

BREAKING OUT ON LEG

Hilltop, Kan.-"About two years ago
began to notice breaking out on my
leg. At first it was very small but
soon it began to spread until it formed
large blotches. The itching was ter
rible and almost. constant. Many
nights could not sleep at all. After
scratching it to relieve the itching It
would burn so dreadfully that I
thought could not stand it. For near
ly a year I tried all kinds of salves
and ointment, but found no relief.
Some salves seemed to make it worse
until there we're ugly sores, which
would break open and run.
