The concert given in the Baptist
church Tuesday evening under the

splendid program was rendered. No

charge was made at the door for adj
mittance, but at the close of the pro-
gram collection was taken that net

Business Women" said: 'The indus
trial woman, leaping into the ranks Of
open competition, tends to reduce the
wages Of the men and SO far incapacl-

fewer, those couples who do marry
will be happier because they stand on
tie same footing. The business wo-
man Of today refuses to be a moon
revolving around masculine earth;
she will be tWin star or nothing"
Yet the business woman is generally
open to an enlargement when the right
man comes along.

here 8 feE-years back. but they grad
ually withdrew to larger fields In the
cities and since the advent Of the tall
or-made suit for general wear we have
had none here and We md on inquiry
that the average woman In Grand
Forks still cfings 70 the tailored suit
because It 10 easy u obtain. Now,
though. styles are continually chang

tailored suit prevails even for street
