Fashion Special Sunday

Chicago, Mar ll.-When tne James
a. Pugh special fashion train pulls out
Of Chicago tomorrow for swing
through Illinois it will carry the six
prettiest girls in the city and one hun
dren gowns that have been pronounced
the last word in fashion, wlile two
movie companies will snap the six car
train as it leaves.
More than 200 girls applied for po-
siti0ns as models and more than 500
dressmakers competed for the $1,000
prize offered by Mr.. Pugh for the
gown which is expected to demonstrate
that Chicago can be made the fashion
center of the United States.

ton Lewis, Mrs. William Hale Thomp-
son, wife of Chicago S mayor, and Miss
Mona Dunno, daughter OF Gov. Dunno,
will have job on their hands here in
the morning picking Chicago s pret

The lucky one will wear the thOus
and dollar prize gown on Pugh 5 fash
ion special. The fashion train is the
mail-Order merchant and speedboat
kings contribution to the propaganda
to win Chicago the style dictatorship Of
America.
Entrants in the contest to make the
gown which will win the prize range
from leading modistes of the city to
modest dressmakers in small towns
The girls will live on the train while
on the swing about the state and will
leave it only long enough to 90 to the
opera houses in the various towns
where the display will be made. The
smaller towns of the state win not be
neglected. They will receive Just as
much attendtion as the cities. Here is
