She was quite a girl back there in the 70's, Always one of the "in" people, one of the first with all the new fads, Why, she was wearing elephant pants when most people thought they were something bashful elephants wore. She adopted granny glasses almost before grannys gave them up for horn-rims and her mini-skirt was so mini she had frost bite in the most unmentionable places the first cold day of winter. , Yes, she was one of the real swingers, the one the other girls, always looked to in envy when their mothers protested giving theM an advance on their allowance for the latest gift to the world from the fashion designers. But those were the good old days. Of course it's all changed now in 1985 and Della's a quiet little house wife with three kids whose brightest excitement is going to the city now and then to shop and see a good show. About the most daring— thing she wears anymore ,is;, when she gets into her baby-dolls to go to bed at night. The other day though, the kids got the old family album out and started looking at the pictures. Meg, the oldest is nearly 13 now and the other girl is pushing 11. Michael, the boy is just eight, but he's not important to this story because, afterall, he's a boy, and the first time the girls came upon some Continued from Page 1 Huron Rd. 15) Jack Arthur Einboden, R.R. 1, Blyth was involved in a single car accident resulting in minor damage to his vehicle.

The poor kid couldn't understand why their faces were so red. The girls were happily absorbed in their past-time and Della was working away in the kitchen making lunch. But when she heard two shrill laughs bursting from the livingroom she had to go in to see just what was so funny. The pair were just sitting there on the sofa, trying to balance the book on their knees while they held their sides from laughing too hard. Quietly she crept up and looked over their shoulder. There seemed to be nothing to laugh at, only a picture of she and George before they were married. She was standing ' so proud, impeccably dressed in her bellbottoms, maxi coat open, showing the top of her ruffled, see-through blouse and her long straight hair flowing down, past her steel-rimmed glasses and over her shoulders.' "What's so funny," she asked finally. "Boy Mom," Meg said, "you sure. dressed funny in those days." She turned another page and there was a picture of Della's mother in that mid-forties attire which Della had always thought was so absolutely ungodly. "Now these people," said Meg, pulling up her bobby sox, "really knew how to dress."'
