Miss Armenia Risley is spending a
two weeks vacation at her home, the
"Poplars". in ~Pleasantville. On Feb.
2, she will enter upon her new field of
studies at the Episcopal Nurses Train
ing School of Philadelphia. Miss Ris-
ley has been teaching primary grades
at Pomona for the last five months,
and her resignation did not make her
happy, as she said she had learned to
love us as we did our teacher. She
said if she did not resign now, she
would never leave is, for we did learn
to love and obey her. She was not
only our dear teacher, but II friend
in trouble, and u comrade in all
pleasures. On Jan. Is, a farewell re-
ception was given Miss Risley by our
younger set, and on Friday afternoon
our entire school gave a jolly skating
party. The little ones who could not
use skates had their bob sleds. All
had a jolly time. When evening came
and she said goodbye, the entire
school was at the train for the fare
well and all were sad. Best wishes
and love to our dear teacher, Miss
Risley.
The many friends of Mr.. Walter
Holzer and Master Clifford Holzer will
be glad to learn that they are conva-
lescing nicely, and hope to see them
about in the near future.

ABSECON NEWS LETTER
HAPPENINGS OF THE WEEK IN THAT THRIVING CITY cHRON-
IcLED BY OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Kunkely have
taken possession of the Eben Mathis
property opposite the Presbyterian
Church.
At the next regular meeting of City
Council, to be held in Council Chamber
mex Wednesday evening, a final oppor-
tunity will be given the taxpayers and
citizens in general to express their
views on the question of allowing bo-
muses. or granting an increase in the
salaries of the Absecon teachers and
the school janitor. Action on the re-
quests for greater allowances cannot
longer be delayed, is the contention of
those officials having the matter in
charge.
Not since the long continued freeze
up of two years ago has the Absecon
Creek and Bay been sealed with as
thick ice as that covering those two
bodies of water the last five weeks.
The ice has been free from air holes
and the bay and creek have practically
: been closed since the week before
EhFistmas, almost completely tying up
the oyster and clam industry.

with a panel at the front, groups OF
hand-run tucks at each side and a
little fine embroidery in small flower
sprays on It, 1t is the sort of blouse
that the fine-grained woman finds ador-
able. The work in it is worth while
because wolfe and filet are blessed with
iron constitutions, with all their dan-
tiness, and will outlast any other fab
ric used in blouses.
The under and overblouse idea and
clever use of color, find themselves
happily set forth in the blouse of
georgette in which dark blue is pose,
over pale tan color, with the tiniest
buttons in the lighter color playing the
part of trimming They outline all
the edges of the slashed BODY and
sleeves, also the neck and cuffs. But

achievement in this model appears in
the narrow ribbon in a Roman stripe
that finishes lie neck and sleeves and
passes in a band around the under
bodice and upper sleeve. 1t is a gay,

THERE is such an unending variety

are raw. They are arranged to button
up when needed and they may be
thrown open when the day is kind.
Belts do not appear to play con-
spicuouS part in the models so far in
troduced. When they are present they
are narrow and usually extend only
part way around the figure leaving the
back of the garment beltless. In some
cases pockets are conspicuous by their
absence, in others they are a feature
of the design, as in the coat pictured.
This model, of taupe velour, de-
serves the consideration of slender
women particularly. with its widened
hip lines and full skirt. 1t is very COM
fy looking with ample collar and cuffs
quite equal to withstanding the raw
winds of clustering March. Such a
