The handling of fashions
Is a fine art this year.
There is such a bounty of
styles, such a diversity of,
details, that clothes must be
carefully selected, colOrs
cleverly harmonized or con-
trasted, workmanship finely
done, if the final effect is
to have a finished look. 1t
is so much easier to combine
the wrong things in a gen
erous season like this than
when there are only a few
good things to choose from.
So it behooves all of us to
study every available word
and picture on the subject
Of spring clothes, with the
idea, first, of buying the
things that are suitable to
our particular selves, and
with the second but equally
important idea of combining
the clothes and accessories
that make an harmonious

IT trimming Is Not
Needed

Outstanding among the
fashions that are almost too
generous, in their variety
are the spring coats. There
are many, many good styles,
designed for every possible
type of person, and to fit
into every imaginable occa-
sion. Though some of them
are closely related to sue
cessful coats of the past
season or so, they all have
a fresh, invigorating look,
for their main characteristic
is trimness, and a certain
spirited look that is very
stimulating to those of us
who are thoroughly tired of
our winter clothes. This is
due mainly to their lines,
fitting the figure naturally,
but definitely, and to their
dependence on silhouette
and detail of cutting rather
than on elaboration Of trim
ming or fur, for when fur
is used it is nearly always
we'll and simply done.

HERE'S something for the pro-
H fessional politicians to worry
about and strive to answer.
Because Of the political activities
Of officials of various banks, some
are known as Republican" and
others as Democratic" institutions,
although no attempt is made to in
fluence the vote Of either patrons
or employees.
Saturday the OF doctor dropped
into such an institution known as
Republican, to deposit the weekly
insult, and while there one of the
tellers hailed me with a chuckle
and said Look at this"
This was the result of an in
formal poll taken of employees of
the institution.
It showed seven votes for Frank
lin D. Roosevelt and five for Nor
man Thomas. Not one vote out of
the twelve was cast for Herbert
Hoover.
How come such a resuIt?" was
asked.
n
Here in bank, considered, be-
cause of the very nature of bust
ness transacted, stronghold of Re-
publican conservatism, the Demo-
cratic nominee gets seven votes,
the SOCIALIST nominee gets five
votes, and the Republican President
none.
1t is a trif1e bewildering, but here
is what was given as the answer,
by one of the tellers:
Hoover has had four years in
office. Two and one-half years have
been devoted by him to coping with
the economic debacle. Yet he has
achieved no success.
Roosevelt appears to be energetic
and able and the Democrats should
get chance to show what they can
do while the Norman Thomas vote
is an indication of the intense dis
satisfaction with both the old major
parties" he explained.
Because we work in a bank, we
come in contact with all sorts of
persons, widows, orphans, salaried
men and women; those who once
held jobs and now are unemployed,
small and large business men and
others and we talk to all of them.
= n
'They frankly confess they can
see no great hope in either of the
major parties, and as we discuss
the situation among ourselves many
of us have come to the same con-
clusion
Thomas appeals to our intelli-
gence and We now are old enough
not to be frightened by label of
Socialist so that seems to be the
answer"
That's what he said
But the fact that there was not
one vote cast for Hoover is startling.
Republican leaders have been

race. The glare Of the sunlight was
softened and gentle breeze played.
Tea, Mona" Lottie inquired. She
was perfectly at home here. Hot
or cold?"
Cold" Mona decided.
Il don't see how any one can
drink hot tea here" observed Lottie.
There is lemon or lime. Which do
you prefer?"
Let me arrange her place, Lottie, .
Barry said. He put down a plate OF
tiny cakes and took possession of
the tea table. Il know what Mona
likes"
1T was a small courtesy, yet 1t
Il made Mona's heart leap as she
watched. The long months seemed
suddenly to have faded. She never
had-really-been married to Bar
rvs uncle. Here they were-she and
Lottie, Barry and Steve-Aon an out
ing just as they had been so often
before.
Things would be all right, she was
sure. Barry would forgive her for
everything. Some time very soon
She could explain all that had hap
pened. Now she would relax and
enjoy herself.
Her dream was broken abruptly

the turning point. He was all set
to amount to something-either
something pretty fine or just the
opposite"

MONA nodded in agreement. ut

said softly. L don't believe I've
ever thanked you"
"Oh, we've had our thanks all
right. Bud himself, looking as he
does today, is thanks enough"
There was coolness in Barry's tone
and Mona felt it. She was silent
for some time.
Then after a little she said, docs
he handle any Of the selling for
you?"
Barry nodded again. "He does and
he's clever at it, too. There's a man
named Horton"

BY BRUCE CATION

HORACE TRUNDELL, president
4 Il of the Federated Utilities, spe-
cialized in feeding bunk to the pub
lie, In fact, since he had almost no
brains, that was why he had his
job.
He was fine orator, and when
he told people that only Reds were
afraid of the power trust and that
utility stock prices were bound to
keep on going higher, forever and
ever, they all believed him.
And the only trouble was that he
finally got SO that he believed it
himself, and when 1929 knocked the
bottom out of everything he fell into
the soup along with the suckers.
Horace Trunell is the central
figure in There Is a Tide" by Per-
cival Wilde; a novel which is about
as bitter a satire of American
business as you easily will find
The portrait of this utilities mag
nate is drawn sharply. BY accident
and by dint of a flair for oratory
Clle IIldH rises 10 Jne summit, al
though he has neither intelligence
humor nor likable personality.
He gropes blindly through the
boom years and stumbles into the
depression without ever knowing
just what is happening; and the
general effect of the novel is that
of a picture of a time in which the
world as a whole went nuts.
Frenzied finance, the Florida boom
and the absurditieS of an economic
system without balance wheel arc
the chief targets of this book.
AS novel it is slightly diffuse
and rambling; but think you'll find
it worth reading.

TINE maid had brought Mona
4 and Lottie up the uncarpeted
stairs into the wide halls above.
From the landing hung a huge
window Of shutters which, open
now and made fast by means of a
rope, looked out on a riot of bios
soming hibiscus.
Intense greens we're dotted with
crimson, pink and yellow. A soft
breeze stirred the trees, sending in
showers of perfume.
The rooms on the second floor
were high, and above the doors, were
latticed to the ceiling.
At either side of each door were
shutters spaced to let in air. The
effect was one of marvellous cool
ness.

hope nobody uses an alarm clock !"
From the windows Of the bedroom
they could glimpse the sea. It lay
shimmering like a softly swaying
bit of blue satin trimmed with
silver.
A necklace Of palms fringed the
beach and a white boat swung with
the lazy tide.
The ROOM contained few pieces of
furniture. A huge bed draped with
netting stood in the center of the
farther wall. There was a dresser,
two easy chairs of rattan and a
table.
Mona noted with satisfaction that
the room was lighted with electricity
and that the bed had a reading lamp
attached to its head.
But there's no bathW Lottie
cried, pointing TO a wash stand
Josie had hung towels about and
disappeared with two huge pitchers
Lottie's room, connecting by door
and by outer balcony, was similar
TO Mona's.
A know on the door announced
the arrival of the baggage and
Florence entered, dragging suit
cases and hat boxes after her.
The boys, she explained, had
brought 1t to the door, but it seemed
best not to allow them to disturb
Madame.
Josie appeared almost imme-
diately carrying pitchers of hot
water. Mona and Lottie bathed
opening suitcases in search of pa
iamas, and finally crept beneath the
netting for a rest. They were asleep
instantly
CEVERAL hours later Mona awoke
- suddenly. Lottie, a veritable sea
nymph in green, was bending over
her.
I've been out to bathe-not in
the sea, just the pool" Lottie an
nounced Josie told me about it.
THE boys have a sort of sunken
bath behind the house. It's as large
as baby swimming pool, with
showers rugged up and everything

scended the stairs. Lottie had
reached the terrace just before her
and sat at small table, the silver
service in front of her quizzing the
boys about their tea.
Josie, the maid, arrived with
tinkling ice. Mona supposed that
this must have been brought from
a distant port at great expense un-
til Lottie explained that the kitchen
was outftted with an electric re-
frigerator.
She had made a second tour of
investigation and was prepared to
answer questions.
