Trunk in the office of a New York
candy manufacturer, a sample trunk
evidently, belongs, you fancy, to a man
about to start for Philadelphia or
maybe Buffalo, for the concern sends
men the country over from coast to
coast. But If you have a curiosity
really to know about it you learn that
this trunk belongs TO the man that
covers South America and who is about
candy samples and seeing customers in
the cities of Brazil, the Argentine,
Chile and Ecuador.
Then we do export some candies? We
certainly do. American candies are e%
ported in larger or smaller quantities
pretty much all over the world and
our candy experts are steadily in
creasing. We send some to Europe; YOU
will now find American candies on sale
in London, Paris and Berlin.
Lots of American candies are sold in
South Africa and they are sold in con-
siderable quantities in India. You can
buy them, for instance, in Calcutta, and
they are sold in Australia. They arc
sold in many places around the world,
and then, coming around this way again.
they are sold again in Mexico and all
the Central American countries and all
through the West Indies and throughout

Those candies, made in great variety,
arc put up In attractive hCrmCtiCally
sealed containerso ( glass or of tin, in
which they are guaranteed to keep N
any climate. Equal success has not
thus far attended the export of ChoCo-

that this problem has been solved and
that chocolates also may be 50 made

The extreme top of the CrCwn has a

was a French model, particularly adapt
ed to the needs Of the American woman,
as 1t could be worn either with
shirt waist costume, or a more dUessy

An odd English model, of Milan straw.
faced with bright red silk, was simply
trimmed with pleated red silk ruChe
about the crown. The only real orna-

apples, caught under the brim on the
left side. The lines of this hat show
distinction. even above the French cre-
ations that surrounded it.
One of the windows of this shop
would be revelation to the woman
who is addicted to the wearing of shirt

piped on either side with a narrow line
of black, ending in a brush of the
same ribbon at the left side. Some OF
these hats are trimmed with wings, and
others with stick-up feathers. A white
