today, wearing a neat little tailor-maGs
suit the skirt OF which is shorter-in ac-

peared a year ago.
Now, ordinarily. the length Of =

II she wishes me to be more explicit.
l will say for her benefit that her lower
limbs are insufficiently clad. She Is max
ing too free an exhibition OF them-and

Mrs. Ducass present trip into court

her effort to wrest Halls estate from
his widow. Recently Mrs. Hall. who
lives with her children at 645 West
End avenue. applied for temporary let
ters OF administration, and when the
case came before the Surrogate Mrs.
Smith offered no objection.
Although Mr.. Hall willed me his
entire estate / shall make no further
effort to become possessed OF IT." said
Mrs. Smith to a reporter. Il have no
money to pay my lawyer and. as little
is left OF the estate. he doesn't think 1t
worth while to fight.
Perhaps you would like to hear q
little Of my side of the story" she said.

loved him dearly, went with us.
Mrs. Hall Immediately began making
things unpleasant for use. She says in

A PERTINENT INQUIRY

Editor Star: l would like to as
certain if there is any law regulat-
ing the speed of automobiles on the
country roads, and if there is not a
specific rate Of speed to be maintain
ed when meeting or passing another
vehicle.
Ny reason for this question is the
fact that yesterday afternoon at the
gate of my place at North Lake Weir
my daughter Margaret, and myself
came within six inches of being run
down by the large "auto-bus" driven
by a Mr.. Dobbs, and there was alb
solutely no excuse for it, the car not
having been slowed down at all. II
will be too late TO correct these
things after some one has been kill
ed, and it is in the interest of the
entire community that l bring the
matter before the public.
