SOME STYLE TO
AMERICAN WOMEN
Nine. Jore Seems Impressed With
Even the Girls in the
Shops.

/ Tinted Press Leased Wire Service. ]
NEW YORK, March 24.-Whether
the women OF Chicago and the best
dressed women in the counsy is the
question raised by Nine. Joire of
Paris. After visiting Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Chicago and Boston, and
spending considerable time In New
York exhibiting spring and summer
gowns of Paquin, Nine. Joire in an In
terview today appeared to be most I'M
pressed with the appearance Of the
Chicago women.
Il motored along Chicago's boule-
wards" said Nine. Joire, "and was es-
pecially impressed by the large num-
Der Of stylishly attired women who
not only had good clothes but knew
how to wear them. In fact I noticed
that a number Of them, wearing Paris
modes on the avenue and In the even
ing, appeared even better in them
than many French women in Paris
wearing the same styles"
In telling OF the manner in which
the Partisan fashions were received
in the various cities, Nine. loire said
Philadelphia women were quite sur
prised and the ''backless" gowns ap-
,peared to frighten them. I'm Pitts
burgh there seemed to be feeling OF
ave." said Nine. Joire. Our Boston
audiences were most dignified and re-
strained, but evidently quite startled.
Chicago and New York showed
great enthusiasm and even the ex-
IRENE models were liked"
Nine. Joire was impressed by the
beauty Of the American women.
II was especially impressed she
said, "to find that there are so many
pretty American girls not only in so
ciety but among the sales girls in
shops. 1t is remarkable, too, how
pretty an American girl can make her
self on a comparatively small outlay
of money. Fashionable American
women, as class, know how to carry
themselves and make their apparel
appear to the best Advantage

SUGAR Factory Closes,


Hampton Chronicle: grsat sur.
prise vas given the people Of Waverly
and vicinity when the Iowa Sugar
company made the announcement this
week that they would CLOSE down,
their big factory at Waverly. The
company gives as reason the new
tariff bill as passed recently by a
democratic congress. The m an who
own the Waverly plant gave over
$500 900 Invested in the enterprise,
and for the present at least. the in
vestment is practically dead less.
The amount they have paid to the
farmers for bets during the few
years the factory has 'reen in opera
ton totals over $1,OOOoo0. The clos
cut OF employment, who have been
paid thousands Of dollars in wages by
the factory since its operation.
This is only one of the results Of a
free tariff law We hope that the
condition of the country will still be
strong enough to withstand the new
law. but already 1t has closed down
factories and thrown thousands or
msn out OF work. People of this
country are not and never will be
able to compete with the one dollar
an acre lands OF foreign countries and
the less than dollar a day help.
Business in this country is on a prstty
strong basis, really in better shape
to stand an attack from a general low
tariff than it ever has been before. :;
may be able to pull through, although
some of thu great business men OF
the country doubt 1t very much.
