Lull, retiring Surgeon General who
left today for Chicago. After IS
years in the Army, General Lull
will bow out of the country's serv-

circles which 60 out and out from
a stone dropped in clear water,
circles which could reach infinity
if not stopped by prosaic dry land,
so the Simmons radiated happiness
to their friends that very cold and
disagreeable dusk when they dis
pensed frothy "nog" and other
delicacies of the season. ALI of the
upper echelons of Military, official
and Residential Society were pres

an eye for such, insisted that if
all the gold braid that glittered In
the very attractive home of the
noted officer and his charming
wife laid end to end it would reach
