Latest Models Six Inches From
Floor and Are Tight Around
Knees of Wearer,

Paquin's display of models at the
Ritz Carleton in New York last week
has touched a new note in skirt
drapery which has been accepted with
great pleasure, especially by the de-
voices of the dance AS shown in the
pictures, the latest essential in the
planning of d tango gown, 1t seems,
is that it must hug the figure closely
about the knees, while below there is
perfect freedom for the feet, decided
flare being evident in all the very
new frocks. Some of them are quite
short, escaping the floor by fully six
inches, and are a great aid TO grace
in dancing.
Many Atlanta people were at the
famous designers exhibit in New
York and some are having gowns
made on these lines. Several local
shops have imported gowns of this
type. on the left is a smart crepe de
chine in pastel blue, printed with
bright colored flowers. The sash and
shoulder straps are Of a deep china

R|CH'S To SHARE
PROFITS WITH
EMPLOYEES
Clerks Will Receive Percentage Of
Dividends-SaIaries to Re-
main at Present Scale.

The introduction of a profit shar-
ing plan whereby the clerks will re-
ceive percentage of the dividends of
the company was announced Wednes-
day by the NJ. Rich & Bros. Company
owners of enc of Atlanta's leading
department stores.
The plan becomes effective as soon
as the details can be worked out by
experts, and under its workings the
employees will be enabled to earn
more than their present fixed salaries
each week The amount OF extra
money or dividends which each em
ployee will be able to earn will de-
pend solely upon the selling ability
and the energy Of the employee. but it
is made plain present salaries will
not be reduced
500 Clerks to Benefit.
The plan will benefit more than
500 employees of the big store, and
is in line with progressive ideas that
the management has instituted from
time to time
The management OF the store We'd
nesday issued the following statement
explanatory of the plan:
"All salaries are 10 remain the
same as before the new order came
into play The profit sharing is pure
~ an additional compensation which
the salespeople can earn. The firm
has just completed schedule of plans
on. which experts have been working
for some time.
The experts have figured exactly
what it costs the company to sell
500 worth of goods in each depart
ment on this basis It has been de-
termined how niue beach individual
should sell to make them worth the
amount of their salary to their en-
ployers. They win receive as divi-
dend each week a percentage of the
amount they sell over this required
figure.
No Reductions in Salaries.
In no instance, however, will there
be any salary reductions. The man
agement of NJ. Rich & Bros. Co. is
introducing this cooperative plan be-
cause it believes it will stimulate our
employees to greater efforts by pay
ing them the hire they are worth and
at the same time guaranteeing them
minimum earning capacity. This
must result in creating a personal
interest on the part of the clerks. so
that customers win be assured Of the
most efficient service.
Profit sharing is merely taken on
as a new phase of business hazard,
the theories being that as established
firms become more sure of a certain
minimum they can afford to increase
their risk in striving for the maxi
mum. The employees will continue
to draw their salaries each Saturday
night, as has been the custom, and
on Tuesday they will draw their divi-

dends, SO that those who can earn a
dividend will actually have two pay
days
The system is being introduced by
ID. |. Brosseau & Staff business coun-
selors Of Chicago. About 300 sales
people will be placed in a position to
avail themselves OF the opportunity TO
take part in the profit sharing plan"
