WINNETKA TALK January 28, 1928 Miss Helen English, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. English of 375 Hawthorne lane, is confined to her home. She is recovering from a seri- ous sinus infection. She has been ill more than a month, but is on the road to recovery now. FW WS wre SEND HER FLOWERS NOW Not for an anniversary, not be- cause she is ill or convalescing, but just because she loves them and can enjoy them. Flowers ex- press sentiments you can not or perhaps dare not -- they are themselves messages of love and affection.
