The first fashion show, by, for and
with business women. is to be n of
the novel features of the Womens
Activities Exposition, which will be
held in New York from Sept. IS 20

The mother Of the inspiration was
Mrs. Caroline Radner Lewis.
She believes that business won en-
have come to be the best dressed
women on earth, and that instead
of taking what the designers offer,
they ought to get together and tell
the designers what they want.
With that as her working found
alton, she has induced several whole
sale houses to submit a selection of
gowns suitable for business wear and
has selected a number of business
ONE to act as models, and mas
arranged to have several bu3in ass
women lecture to fashion designers
on what the well dressed woman
wants to wear.
This show is not to uplift Tho
business woman, but the manufac-
turer," Mrs. Lewis insists.
Fashions are designed for flap
pers, debutantes, society matrcns
and sportswomen, but rarely for
busire ss women and yet they repre-
sent by far the largest group.
when women first went into US
mess they made the mistake of
dressing too severely, and ever Stree

Hee Haw was the donkey the old

they could hunt for the lost wand OF
the Fairy Queen.
But really Hee Haw wasn't a dom
key at all. He was the Flap-Doodle,
the very fairy the Twins were
searching for and who caused all the
mischief.
But Nancy and Nick didn't know
that, OF course.
"Gid ap." said Nick. giving the
donkey "a poke.

Who Will Solve The Riddle?

Every now and then we are
importunad to write something
to help bring about prosperity.
Nothing would please us better
if we only knew what to write.
Like most other people, we
know something is wrong and
we have our idea where the
wrong comes in, but when it
comes to applying the remedy
we are completely at sea.
Briefly stated, here is how we
view the situation.
International trade has gone
to pieces. This has effected
business in this country because
those who produce surplus pro-
ducts which were formerly sold
in foreign countries are now
nearly without a. market. This
fact makes these producers poor
buyers of the things they need
because they lack funds with
which to buy. Pretty much the
same condition maintains all
over the world, except most
other countries have not nearly
so much to sell.
Back of this a want of conf
dence in the ability of the peo-
pie to pay, the United States be-
ing about the only country whose
paper is considered as good as
gold. This want of confidence
was brought about by the shift
ing of wealth during the World
War. Prior to this time, the
United States owed to foreign
countries something like three
billion dollars. This money was
invested in our stocks and bonds
on which interest and dividends
were paid. These stocks and
bonds have pretty well all come
home. Besides, other countries
have contracted debts here fol-
near fifteen million dollars; anC
in addition about half of the
gold of the world has found its
way into this country.
Prior to the war, this country
exported enough more than was
imported to pay the interest anc
dividends to the holding countries
and often had a trade balance
coming this way besides. We
now have a potential export
power greater than before the
war, while our import needs are
not nearly so great. This cou'
pied with difference in interest
charges on some eighteen billions
of invested capital, appear to
