A New Phase of REIMBURSEMENT;
Women Demand Style Again
And So Business in Dress es Is Booming and Manu-
facturers Are Busy on Orders Booked at Good
Prices, President of Trade Association Saws

Business in womens dresses is
booming Manufacturers have never
been so besieged with orders as they
are at the present time, according to
Otto B. Shulhof, president of the

G. Shulhof. manufacturers Of women's
high grade dresses.
The attitude of The American woman
toward clothes. Mr. Shulhof explained
yesterday, changed suddenly and radi-
caly when she heard the news that
fighting in Europe had ceased. From
the plain uniform or the serviceable
suit which might BE worn to almost
any charity work or social function
'urng the drab days of the war, she
jumped immediately into garments
containing as many of the clements
Of style and quality as the price her
pocketbook afforded
"There is no public demand" Mr.
Shulhof said. that is reflected to the
manufacturer so quickly as is any
demand for women's garments. The
industry is essentially a style trade.
1t is style and novelty that keep this
business moving. Now, as the war
ended and our boys began coming
home from the battletields and camps
of France, the American women

Wholesale dealers in shoe findings
report better business in the various
products they handle than usual at the

The Improvement in sales is due, ac-
cording to dealers in findings, to the
fact that prices for shoes are so high
now people are having their footwear
tapped more often, and are purchasing
polishes and oils which will help pre-
serve shoes and give an appearance of

SMALLPOX IN DAY

Success, temporary at least, for the

against smallpox in Washington, was
reported today by Dr. william c.

But two cases Of smallpox were
reported to. the health authorities
during the past twenty-four hours,
and both OF the patients were prompt
ly quarantined and precautions taken
to place under observations persons
who had come in contact with them" :"
said DR.. Fowler.
"AlI known cases OF smallpox in
Washington are now under quaran-
tine, and the Health Department haS
the situation. which might have. de-
veloped into a serious epidemic, wei
under control.
'In combating smallpox the health
officials have better facilities at their
disposal than in the influenza epi-
demic, and for that reason we are
reasonably sure that the outbreak Of
smallpox will not get beyond even
temporar ycontroL
- ''During the influenza Epidemic we
were unable to quarantine all pa
tients, and as a result the disease
spread. With smallpox we have been
able to quarantine all patients and
vaecinate those who have been ex-
posed. During the influenza epidemic
there was no reliable "anti-induenza" !"
serum with which to vaecinate the
sufferers.
