Thus, when a gentleman offers the girls three times what they paid for Hansen’s to buy it away from them, they jump at the chance…and, as usual, our heroines have leaped before they looked., Lucy and Ethel buy a dress shop. What to call it? Lucyeth’s? Ethelu’s? That isn’t their only problem., Lucy and Ethel buy a dress shop. What to call it? Lucyeth’s? Ethelu’s? That isn’t their only problem. Mrs. Hansen: Mabel Paige.
