Ella Lou went through a curious

family. The boys would do anything
for her, and Benson took them for long
trips up through the hills and down to
the shore towns where they had never
been before. Nancy and Dot came
home after one of these trips with full
winter outfits even to muffs and fur
trimmed coats. And all manner OF lit

when her mother told her what lucky
girl she was, and planned her winter
ahead, she said little, but there was a
sparkle Of rebellion in her eyes. 1t

chronic disorders in the nose itself

NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-Today's news
about skirts will be welcomed with
10 yby most women.
Skirts have lost much of their flare.
The spring models are just full enough
to suit the average figure and they
are longer and therefore much more
graceful than the winter styles.
The sports skirt pictured today is
OF cotton corduroy. The double hem
and belt are decidedly smart.
The combination of two different
kinds Of stripes in one costume, in this
case in the blouse and skirt, is an ar.
rangement which will be neither un.
usual nor extreme this spring.
