Business Revival Held
Back By Hoarded Money

Some years ago an experiment was
tried with new dollar bill. Attached
to the bill was a piece of blank pa
per, with a request to all who pos
sessed it temporarily to write there
on what they had purchased with it.
Thus started on its way the dollar
made the rounds of stores. shops and
industrial concerns, and before long
came back to the man who started
1t on its travels. What is true of one
dollar is likewise true of a million.
Whoever starts money in motion
usually gets back his initial invest
ment, frequently with considerable
gain.
The proposal of some of the
luncheon clubs for each member to
spend 500 in a week stimulates the
movement of money. When Specula-
tive stocks crashed in Wall Street
and dragged down with them shares
In the best concerns of the country,
no money was destroyed. There is
as much currency, gold and silver
coins as when the furry began, but
for the last year there has been less
disposition to spend. People boarded
their cash, although they knew idle
money gains no profit and helps make
idle the wheels of industry. The
buying campaign is an attempt to
put money to work. What the pub
lie spends now is likely t. return.
Money in a tin can never did any
body any good, but put in motion
will stimulate business, and a dollar
now buys more than it has for a
good while.-Indianapolis News.

NIALTER BOYCE had had din
w ner a few nights before with
his one-time classmate Dick Lard
ner; they had talked of one or two
of the men they had known in col
lege. Dick spoke of poor Tim
Drury and Walter could barely re-
member him. Tim had left in his
senior year, the first year of the
war, and he had had tough time
of it. Still suffering from shell
shock he had failed at several jobs
and now people said that he and
his wife were starving over in
Oakdale." They had opened lit
tie antique shop and Tim did cab

Walter really had no special de-
sire to own any antiques but the
next Saturday afternoon he mo-
tored over to Oakdale and found
the rambling little one-stOry cottage
that served as salesroom. workshop
and living quarters of Mr.. and Mrs
Drury. A slender, bobbed-haired
young woman came to the door
when he sounded the old brass
knocker-a girl who looked barely
more than twenty at first sight and
years older later when she talked
of Tim and his valiant struggle
against i'll health and bad luck. But
she did not talk much. Her whole
life seemed spent in devotion to
Tim. He was never out of her
thoughts, apparently. Tried to keep
1t secret, vet when she was with
him there was a curious sort of re-
Serve-a reserve that Walter felt
would have been quite unendurable
She was, Walter thought, extremely
beautiful. but when, talking alone
with Tim, lie congratulated him on
having such beautiful wife to
share his hardships with him, Tim
looked a bit surprised.
He changed the subject. Apparent
ly Tim didn't want to talk about
Jill. but Walter found himself lead

to her. Tim said he had met her
in France. She was a nurse over
there. ITS wonder she didn't 60

which he had neither admiration
nor use.
The next Saturday Walter went
again to see the Drurys. They did
seem poor, although Dick had
perhaps exaggerated it when he
said they were starving. However,
Walter didn't intend to let them
even go on light rations. The real
motive of his visit to them-which
he did not even admit to himself
was a desire to see Jill again.
Jill was all cordiality. She
laughed and even sang a funny lit

Tim asked her to. Jill followed

Several times after that Walter
came. Then one day as he was sit

was brought to him.
In roundabout embarrassed

to say. 1t was the first time he
had dared take the trip to the city
alone. He was afraid-he said
that Jill was in love with him-with
Walter-and with half an eye he
saw that Walter admired Jill.
"Perhaps I had better not come
again." said Walter, after an en-
barrassed pause.

NEWS VIEWS AND GOSSIP IN THE NATIONAL CAPITA
What's in Fashion?
Costumes for the Larger Woman

GOOD fashion news for the
VI larger woman! She GER
tainly can, If she wants to, enjoy
the seasons fashions more than
SHE has enjoyed any fashions in
years.
In the first place, body curves
are decidedly in. They are a
fashion. The flat, straight, So
called "boyish" figure is now do
ing all it can to win back its
natural, feminine curves.
And fashion has done so many
things this year to help the
larger figure look smaller.
Longer Skirt Helps
The fashionable longer skirt
helps. 1t gives the figure a
Congratulated look-longer from
the waistline to the hem.
It doesn't cut the figure alb
ruptly in a wide, horizontal line
as the short skirt used to do,
The fashionable even hemline
helps. It is inconSpicuous It
does not attract attention to the
lower part Of the figure as the
dippy, SwiShy, uneven hemline
did.
Surplice Closing
The fashionable surplice clos
ing helps. In both dresses and
coatS-it gives a long, downward
line. Following 1t, the eye moves
down the figure instead of
across it. You see it on many
of the very best fashion knowing
dresses for larger women.
The fashionable deep veStee
effect helps. For here again a
longer up and down line is
gained.
BOIerO Effects
The fashionable simulated
bolero-a bolero that just looks
like one-helps. It makes a
straight line from under the
arm to the hips. 1t does not &C.
cent any great difference be-
tween bust, waist and hip sizes.
The fashionable one-sided
rever helps. This, too, makes a
longer down-Sweeping line for
the eye to follow. But notice
that reverS on both sides of a
dress or coat are not so kind to
the larger figure. They give too
much fullneSS over the chest.
The fashionable dull-luStered
fabrics help. too. Their very
texture helps the figure to look
smaller, whereas shiny fabrics
make it look larger.
Details to Avoid
On the other hand, there are
some details of fashion that in
our minds the larger women will
do we'll to avoid. Belts at the
