Her coat may be belted In with a wide patent leather belt, and the peplum can be varied in line, cut on ay at the front or turned up at the corner In military style at the ...front lines or back. The slenderness at the hips is the point that allows this. I The short woman must be judicious •when relenting her coat. That model that emphasizes length of line must be chosen.

Eight cases of infantile paralysis have been reported from Frostviken, Norrland. Hundreds of houses are advertised for rent in Stockholm, and the rates are going down.

It Irritated me so that I began to scratch it, and It began to spread until my leg from my ankle to the knee was one solid scale like a scab. The Irritation was always worse at night and would not allow me to sleep, or my wife either, and It was completely undermining our health. I lost fifty pounds in weight and was almost out of my mind with pain and chagrin as no matter where the Irritation came, at work, on the street or in the presence of company, I would have to scratch it until had Che blood running down into my shoe. I simply cannot describe my suffer Ing during those seven years.
