Mild Weather Big Help

Special Dispa tch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, January 24.-The
open weather SO far this winter has
permitted building operations to be
pushed as they would be III the fall
and increased employment thus fur
nished to men in the building trades
has increased buying power and gen
eral prosperity. The mild weather
has not interfered with retail trade
Offerings of merchants find good
response from buyers well supplied
with money.
No complaint is heard of dry goods
prices but furniture figures seem to
he too high to attract the great mass
OF buyers. Shoes are reasonably
priced here at present and this lower
tendency has been aided by the in
crease in the number OF men who
wear low shoes throughout the win

means that the suburban develop

MODERN ENGLISH BOY ISFASTIDIOUS
 ABOUT HIS CLOTHES

LONDON, Feb. 5.-In sartorial ele- gance the next generation of school boys is likely to be one of Beau Brummels, Beau Nashes and Count D'Orsays, if the opinions of London's leading tailors and boys outfitters are any guide.
 At one time the unwilling school boy was dragged by his parents to the tailors and a made-up suit from stock was selected. With luck it fitted; if it did not no one worried much.
 But the old order changeth. Nova days it is the schoolboy who takes his parents to the Outfitters and superintends the ordering and meas uring-but not the paying-with a precocious exactiude.
 Mordern tailors say they find that in many cases the up-to-date school boy is more exacting than his father. He insists that his jacket and pants should be cut in the latest style, and the old idea of leaving plenty of room for growing is dead and buried.
 The Outfitter, the leading tailors' organ, thinks that this fastidiousness on the part of modern youth is all to the good "A boy who is able to decide for himself on such matters at an early age should" thinks the Outfitter, ''be able before long to decide what is correct when grap- bling with the bigger problems of life'

.CO-EDS TO WORK THROUGH
 COLLEGE BY ENTERTAINING

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5. - Four pretty co-eds at the University of Southern California have set new
 precedent for girls working their
 way through college. They have
 banned together and called them selves the "Los Angeles Entertain
 ers," and declare they will earn suf- ficient funds through semi-theatrical and outside functions to carry them 1 through school.
 The comedy misses are Elizabeth Ovsey, Maxine Eyerman, Jean Small
 ley and Rosalie Walkinshaw, and are all freshmen at the local university. Their success at entertaining fellow students heartened them to the new venture, they said.
 Miss Eyerman is an intepretative
 dancer and dancing instructor. Miss Smalley is a whistler. Miss Ovsey I is header and elocutionist and Miss
 Walkinshaw a pianist.
 | All of the coed quartet declare
 they have resolved not to be daunted
 by professional vaudevillians and en-
 tertainers who learned in the the.
 ater. They seek the support of
 local "club women as we'll as club
 men," and have opened headquarters
 where their services for appearances
 can be booked.
 Other co-eds at the University
 are said to be anxiously awaiting the
 success of their venture before jump
 ing into "a new field of venture for l college women"
