father and were kind of slow. Be-
sides, he said, they were dazed by
the influx of orders and by their
own wages. He declared, laughing
ly, that some Of the $50 sales did
not net him great profit because
the feet Of many plumbers are large
and require much leather.
Not all of the numerous well-off

Some are economizing on their foot

goes on, the prices go up"
Diamonds an Investment

Mr.. Backus eX planned that as
soon as most people got little ex-
ira money-and he said these were
numerous at present-they pur-
chased diamonds, because they were
not only fine things to display, but
also represented a gnpd investment
According to the sales manager of
one of the city's most famous gem
stores, the call for bevies and f1ocks
of diamonds is sounding louder
daily. He told of $4,000 and S15,-
600 sales with a lightness and flu
ency which stamped them as COM
mon. The average price of engage
ment rings is about $1,000, he de-
clared, compared with an average of
$500 not so many years ago.
Brooches, necklaces, lavallieres and
assorted pins were fitting their
sparkling way to the ultimate con-
sumers with amazing speed and
steadiness, he said.

as he lurched along. When he
reached the rear wall he turned and,
still holding himself erect with one
hand pressed against the wall, made
for small door which opened onto
dingy back street. l saw him
kick the boy that was holding his
horse and then he made off into the
night.
"How long Booth was in the little
hall back Of the box + do not know.
File made his entrance from the
front of the house and not from the
stage, as many have said. There was
no way in which to reach the Presi-
Dental box from the stage. The only
door to the little hallway was from
the theater proper. Then in the hall
way was another door which led
directly to the box. Booth was in
the hall long enough to work stick
into the plaster on the wall and use
it as a wedge to keep the door shut.
Also there was a gimlet hole in the
door, which showed he had looked in
on the Presidential party before
opening the door and firing the fatal
shot. Whether this had been made
before or on that night I do not
know.
"It was after Booth had made his
way to the street and rode away
into the night that l, rs call boy,

curtain on Ford's Theater and upon

in his private box.
"The scene had just begun, and
I was standing in my place on the

on his left knee, rested a fraction

in the years that have followed.
This, it was explained, was due to
the innate retiring disposition of
the aged actor and a desire not to
enter into any controversy with his
torians and others.
Some time ago, when David w.
Griffith produced "The Birth of a
Nation," he spent months searching
records and historical data to make
his production of the shooting in
the theater correct in every mi
mute detail. The result showed the
second scene Of the third act of
"Our American Cousin" going on,
with Miss Keene on the stage,
when Booth slipped into the Presi-
Dental box, fired, and then, shak-
ing his fist at the audience, leaped
onto the stage. He then-and, ac-
cording to Mr.. Griffith, all accounts
coincided-turned to the auditorium

most expensive cars reported orders

each continuing to describe the con-

rite car. While agents for less ex-
pensive makes do not report a fall
ing off in demand, it was shown that
the higher priced machines are at
tracing more customers than ever
before.
In automobiles, as in lingerie and
fur, price is the obscured considera-
tion.

parel. He quoted silk stockings at
$8.75 a pair and said that they were
transparent. He explained that this
was in their favor and that they
melted from the shelves like dough-
nuts at an orphan asylum.
A long established shoe house, to
which "the world has beaten path"
(the name is not to be used), is
making shoes to order, for men and
women, at $50 pair. Uptown the
made-to-fit footwear is bringing
even, higher prices.
Perhaps" said the present head
of the old firm, "people are begin
ming to realize that the dear is cheap.
Maybe they find that they get far

reflect every twist and turn in their
feet. We used to make shoes for
$12 and SIS and we sold some, but
nothing in comparison to the guam

Can't Keep Up
He said he had been compelled to
compile waiting list because the
New-York tribune., 1920-01-11

company does not sell the appli-
ances, but merely permits manufac-
turers to exhibit in it's rooms. These
manufacturers fairly choked the
showrooms with their products a
few weeks before the holidays, he
said, but the supply, adequate as it
was, failed to meet the demand.
He reported that the electrical
washing machines, which can be pur-
chased for as low as $50 and as
high as $500, disappeared from the
exhibition rooms before the on
s1aught of the army of prosperous
housewives. Trifies IKE electric
irons at Sc had brief experience
in exhibition roles. Portable lamps,
including the expensive floor lamp
arrangements, were in constant de-
mand. People willingly paid 81 for
a small toaster and seemed thank
full for the privilege. Even old
fashioned housewives participated in
the scramble for electric vacuum
cleaners, which infrequently were
sold below $50 each.
The holidays close has not cur
tailed the demand, Mr.. Williams
said. He predicted continued buy
ing activity, saying that all classes
are joining in the grand rush to pay
out money.
Electric washing machines would
undoubtedly be no more strange and
unheard of to our forebears than
grapes at So pound. Fruit has
not been overlooked by the luxury
hunters. A store on Fifth Avenue
near Forty-eighth Street has sew
eral punches Of huge grapes, each
grape as large as a medium-size
plum, hanging in the windows. The
salesman in the store is not the ia
miliar greengrocer of -preluxuri-
Gus days, wearing a white apron
and with a pencil behind his ear
The man who waits on the peo-
pie attracted by the grapes wears
tailor-made suit worth numerous
dollars and uses fountain pen with
purple ink. He wears a silk cola,
and frequently shoots his cuffs.
Nobody Faints
He said that the grapes displayed

Not the Rich Alone

No form Of extravaganza has been
neglected by either the new or expe-
rienced rich. Nor have the rich alone
been breathing the once exclusive at
mosphere of the Fifth Avenue shops.
The fair fingers which have tried
on and often carried away high
priced rings have often shown
close acquaintance with hard work.
The rich and poor seem to be
meeting together in these stores,
the war having been the finan-
cial maker of them all. Fifth Ave-
hue is as crowded with ultimate con-
sunlers as Third Avenue. Antique
shops are becoming as busy as deli
catessen stores. Graduations from
three-legged stools into Louis Quinze
chaises-longues are favorite house
hold sports.
The managers Of the stores of the
vanishing dollars can only elevate
the edges of their shoulders to the
tops of their ears in explanation of
the orgy. They like it, but it puzzles
them. They sprinkle trick French
phrases through voluble English as
they tell Of the endless buying.
Price No Object
On Fifty-seventh Street and on
Fifth Avenue are situated a number
Of stores which would be called
lady outftters" If they were on
Grand Street. Being where they are
they are called "Maisons," with the
nrst name Of the owner following.
In one Of these stores, a woman
looked over a light chinchilla wrap
last week. It looked superb, magnifi-
cent, on the model, according to the
owner Of the shop, who tells this.
The woman herself was no model,
the owner said. He was fearful,
though, that he would lose the sale.
The coat cost as much as a years

"a wife and two children uptown, and
likes to be a pretty good customer
at his shop himself.
NJ. Rene Revillon, q member Of the
firm Of Revillon Frares, said that
the call for moderately priced furs
was fairly good.
"What are moderately priced furs,
M. Revillon?" he was asked.
ooh, $4,000 or $4,000 ones," he
replied. "These are sealskins-some
Of then1-and others are also Of the
less rare varieties. The silver fox
and the sable-they are the more ex-
pensive. The call for them has not
been so constant and strong as the
demand for the moderately priced
furs."
A fur dealer who pays lot for
advertising, but didn't want to be
quoted, pointed out that New York
City was in the throes of a fur buy
ing and wearing epidemic. He de-
clared that New Workers, the wom-
en-. in particular, had become fur
bearing animals. Some Of the coats
his customers take off for the fur
affairs are as shiny as lady's un-
powdered nose, he said. The thing
that puzzled him, according to his
admission, was the cashsbuyinS. It
used to be necessary to sell furs on
credit, he declared, but now the
transactions were concluded immedi-
ately.
From fur coats, in a word, the
lady is dressing with unprecedented
expense. A negligee, one Thirty
fourth Street dealer in them ex-
planned, is something which a lady
wears when alone or with other
ladies. Fifteen ladies could wear
pound Of negligee, the dealer said.
Most Of them are Of crepe de some
thing, with frills and an occasional
silken rosebud, he added.
The Negligee Demand
eve used to think" he said, "that
when lady paid $50 for negligee
she was plotting against her hus-
bands financial future, or was going
to have her picture taken, to be sent
to her old neighbors in Kansas.
"Sometimes, these days, q lady
still pays $50 for negligee, but
It's usually something Of q noisy
color or Of an obscure pattern. The
500 negligees pass out, from our
shop in steady. bewildering pro-
cession. We don't know whore all
