TOPICS OF INTEREST TO EVERY WOMAN
CHANDLER MANI
Women Are Best Suited As
Buyers of W0men'S Clothes

its many changes. But there is a way Of
buying and culling the best, and some
times-many times-one thinks that the
man buyer instinctively fails to know just
what is the best. And why shouldn't he
fail? He may understand the ms and
outs of the buyers art. from the purely
business standpoint, may know how to
deal with manufacturers. be a good Judge
of fabric and Of prices, but II he fails in
the one point Of Judgment as to women
and their likings, he is a mighty failure
after all.
Much depends upon the manufactur-
er, but much also hinges upon the buy
er. For he cannot buy them all. and the
question is. which will sell the best?
Nobody knows to a certainty. man or
woman. but it is fair to assume that an
alert woman. of good taste, good judg-
ment. and her own woman-self as a
basis. ought to be able to reach nearer
the mark than mere man, who must de-
pend upon cold, hard facts as his guild
ing star.
Knows What Women Like.
happen to know two shops where
woman's neckwear Is sold, one pur-
chased by a man. the other selected by
a woman: and. without a particle OF
prejudice or of leaning either way. l
would go blocks and blocks out of my
way to reach the shop where the wom-
an buys. Cali it Judgment, taste. intui-
ton If you like, but she seems to un-
derstand what women like, what they
want. and what they will buy. and her
stock bears the genuine womanrstamp.
The man buyer has been taken for
granted so long that 1t is only the &C.
casional woman who takes his place.
but one really believes that the field
where woman's gowns, her hats, and all
the makeup of her wardrobe are con-
cerned would be better managed left
to woman's judgment.
And this is not by any means due to
a desire to see men dethroned in favor
of women. Nobody would think Of ask
ing for woman at the head Of a hab-
erdasher's stock, and there would be
ridicule in the very thought of a wom-
an buying for a fashionable tailor who
catered only to men. or for the big shop
where the ''ready-mades" were found.
And why should not the woman better
understand the woman's tastes and
wants than the most discerning man
that ever tried the field?

By FRANCES sHAFFER.

For many seasons the thought has
been driven home TO some women shop
pers that 1t would be good thing If more
Of our large department stores would
consider the ACCESSIBILITY of employing
women at the head of departments cover
ing nothing but matters of woman's
dress.
In the suit department. for instance,
there are many times when the judgment
of a woman buyer is sadly needed, her
experience from the woman's standpoint,
her wants, and her needs.
Men Don't Understand.
Within my own experience there have
been many complaints from women
rather larger than the ordinary that buy
ers do not include them when they make
their selections for the changing seasons.
If. occasionally, they condescend to slip
femininity they seem to think the suits
must be very grave in cut. color, and
all.
But let me tell you the story of some
of the complaints. These women say that
as a matter of information. they ask the
women clerks for an explanation. ask
them If there are not many. many women
who are similarly troubled to find a fit in
the ''ready-mades." And the answer
COMES On, yes. ne SIZES

and We are all stocked up with an over

why don't they suggest that to the buyer.
tell him of the many suits they could sell
II they only had the wherewithal? And
the clerks always answer. YEARLY and
conclusively: What's the use? We tell
them season after season, but they don I
think We know anything about it. That
is the way they have always bought. and
nothing but a revolution will make them
alter their ways. We could sell a lot of
suits to women who now must turn their
steps to the tailors or the dressmakers."
And some times they add that If there
was a woman buyer. she would under
stand.
And it is not only the size. Fashions.

Our people have watched the progress OF

INDIAN ADOPTION
ROMANCE SPOILED
Robert D. Heinl and Bride Declared
Not Legal Members of Black
feet Tribe.
UNCLE SAM INTERFERES

Uncle Sam. money grubber. who seems
to have lost all his sentiment. has
spoiled the pretty romance OF the adop-
ton OF Robert D. Heinl and his bride
into the Blackfeet tribe of Indians.
Mr.. Helnl. who is Washington cor
respondent and his bride. formerly Miss
Helen Corbin. were admitted to the tribe
at a picturesque ceremony in Glacier Ma
tional Park. Mont. shortly before their
marriage. Chief Three Bears acted for
the tribe and bestowed upon the couple
the tribal names Of BLACK Eagle" and
Little Woman"
The redskins made their new paleface
brethren welcome, Mr.. Heinl having long
been in their good graccs through his
sympathy and affection for the vanishing
race Of Americans. of which he has made
an exhaustive study.
The tribe extended hearty welcome to
Black Eagle" and his bride. therefore.
but Uncle Sam. through the Indian
Office. now says that he cannot allow his
manner.
Adoption Not Legal.
The acting chief OF the Indian Bu-
reau says the adoption is not legal be-
cause the Indian Bureau will not con-
firm II when 1t comes before them
officially. Therefore. Mr.. Heinl and his
bride will be cut out of their share of
the Blackfeet allotment of lands and
money which their red-skinned brothers
were anxious they should have.
The acting chief said:
We will disapprove OF this adoption
matter when It is brought to our notice
for verifcation. The Indians themselves,
feel sure. must have looked on 1t simply
as Joke. They were admitted to the
tribe by an Indian ceremony, and not by
legal one which requires a tribal coun-
Gil before the superintendent of the reser-
walton and other officers.
Only people descended from the tribe
and who have Indian blood In them are
ever admitted to a tribe. The Indians
are wards Of the nation and receive a
certain allotment, therefore. any new
member OF the tribe is a ward OF the
nation and would have an allotment Of
lands and money. We will not allow Mr..
and Mrs. Heinl to become members OF
the tribe, even IL they waive their rights
to appointments. because II might
make serious complications in the future
and lots of people would desire to join
Indian tribes to become wards of the ma
ton and benefit therefrom. 1t would be
a dangerous precedent"
