For Mrs. Kulke's love for asters led several years ago, quite acciden-

All the new styles are, very stunning. ‘My whole wardrooe | is absoldtely full of long things.” | Chiming her agreement was Nan cy Milne, a petite brunet from Ra-| cine, Wis, who said she thought] long skirts were particularly lovely

The club asked 7600 women in the United States, Canada, Hawaii and the Canal Zone what they thought of the radically different modes. Beventy-nine per cent were in favor pf new styles in general, but the women served notice they weren't having any of the exaggerated

some folks still have a yen to be “exclusive.” Let me tell you, kids. The socalled exclusive person merely succeeds in excluding himself, By sticking to one small clique, he (or shé) misses out on the Tun of knowing different sorts of people.
