like to ask him. Finally the old boy
put one hand to his ear. Bill grew
more interested, but said nothing.

Lewiston Hopes for
New Federal Building

Lewiston, Jan. 13.-Inclusion of Lew
iston in the 140 cities for which Con-
eress has been asked to provide $40
100000 for federal buildings was the
first news received here of a plan to
enlarge the present post office building,
though it was known that business at
the local office had long oyertaXed its
capacity.
This has been due largely to the
parcel post department. a phase of
postal business which had not been
considered by the government when
the Lewiston office was built.
The post office is the only federal
building in the city and the plan for
its enlargement is understood to pro-
vide for an addition big enough to re-
lieve present congestion. also to house
several federal offices now maintained
elsewhere.
TO carry out these plans. Congress
has been asked to provide Sis. 900.
The present post office lot is of ample
size to accommodate duplicate of the
old building. and still leave adequate
ground space to meet government re-
Quircmcnts.

Women Dress for Beauty
Says Paris Designer

Paris. Dec. 25-Woman's dress viii

paouin. founder and chief owner or

who has just rounded out her $50
year as fashion leader and maker or
dresses for those who would appear
beautiful.
"The STYLES of today range back to
those worn by the Egyptians, such as
/ once saw on the mummies of the
now sunken island of Philac," said
Madame Paquin.
IF we admit that dressing n
beautiful woman is an art. then 1T
follows that this art changes as oth-
err arts. One cause of such changes
lies in social conditions.
1.-THE season to season changes
come from the fact that fashion ere
ators wish to continue to create. L
for instance, as soon as l have COM
plcted a creation, wish to pass to
something different. ! can't help II.
It is the creative instinct l obey.
"There can for this reason never
be a set, uniform style for women
so long as women wish to be beauti-
full and men wish to have them so.
THE feminist movement means
death to woman's beauty, and for
this reason it can never succeed IN
France. Our women wish 10 appear
beautiful, our men approve OF inns
desire, and. within their means, are
willing to pay the bill.
'N'hcn it was pointed out 10
Madame paruin that her own sue
cess in business was used as an
argument for the feminist move
mcnt. she objected cnergetically:
whatever success | have had was
due in large part to my husband. MY

that line. He knew little about II,
but he had a good business head.
Without that I should never nave

sponsible for American success.
THE great tragedy of a woman's
life" she continued. 'often is that
