certain that vanity prompts the young
women to apply. They get paid for their

them to seek the places.
The show this year will be better in
every department than either of those held
last year. The one in the Bellevue STRAIT
ford last March had only about thirty-fve
models: the coming one will have nearer
100. There will be five sessions-the eve

and evening of March / : and afternoon and
evening of March 16. The models will dis
play corsets and lingerie on the afternoon
of March Is and at the other four ses-
sions they will show street suits topcoats
