PURSUIT OF BEAUTY
 BIG EXPENSE ITEM
 TO BUSINESS WOMEN

WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 1S.- The American business woman of today is a very different person from the working girl of 20 years ago.
 Answers to questionnaire sent to 6,924 business women by the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's clubs reveal that at least two-thirds of them are regular patrons of beauty parlors, that about one-third of them swim and one-half enjoy housekeeping in their own apart ments.
 Permanent waves were found more popular with the business women than marcels, 2,903 of the 6,924 preferring the first method of coiffure and 1860 the latter. Based on the returns from the questionnaire it is estimated that the 60,00O business and profes- sional women enrolled in the or ganization are spending about $800,000 annually on cosmetics and beauty treatments About 39 per cent of them drive their own cars, about one-tenth ride horseback and one-sixth play tennis.
 It is estimated that about one- fourth of the 60,0O0 are married and about one-half of those mar ried have children. s.
