NEW YORK PREPARES
FOR SOCIAL SEASON

New York shops are we'll pre-

and their windows reflect the spirit
OF gaiety In the elaborate gowns
and evening wraps displayed, many
OF which have come from Paris.
says the Dry Goods Economist.
Imported gowns and wraps, with
all accessories, such as fans, gloves,
slippers and scarfs, have been fea-
tured by nearly every shop on the
avenue in their window displays.
New York seems 70 be paying great
homage TO the creators OF fashions
from Paris despite the prices asked
for their models.
Brilliant colorS prevail. especially
in the wraps. Scarlet and ceriSe vel
vet was noted in several shops. with
the cape style predominating. In
many instances these capes were
held into a pun at the back, giving

think what that meant when every
minute was precious! We cannot
afford TO be a nation OF illiterates
the world today demands too much
Of US for sucha condition TO exist.
But we must face facts; the Hitter
acy figures for rural districts were
much higher than the general av-
erage and also higher than figures
for the cities.
What then Is our problem? We
should give children in agricultural
communities equal educational op-
portunities with the children OF the
cities. and parents throughout the
country should do their utmost to
give their children opportunities for
education and development so that
they will receive proper training for
a maximum earning capacity and
so that our nation can conserve the
very finest Of our manhood and our
womanhood.
