TRADE THRILLS
GLORIA AND
SISTER

From Blue Book tc Bradstreet
from "the idle rich" to working
girls.
That is the transition Of Gloria
Morgan Vanderbilt and her twin
sister, Lady Thelma FurnesS, who
are in the Capital today.
Even the battle over the custody
Of her 10-year-oId daughter, Gloria,
is being forgotten by Mrs. Van
derbilt in the even more exciting
battle Of business.
The sisters have been only eight
months in the world Of trade, but
they both find it exciting, and they
love it, they said today at the
home Of their sister, Mrs. Ben
janin Thaw, 1927 Thirty-third
st. N. W., one Of Georgetown's
famous houses.
Thinks Of Bushes
Asked concerning the long bat
tie over little Gloria, Mrs. Wander.
bilt said:
"ReaIIy, 1 would rather not
discuss that. You see am here
aS business woman, and buSi-
ness is what I am thinking about
these days."
Lady Furness-the sisters look
almost exactly alike-added:
"Its really grand to have q
new interest in life, to be doing
something, creating something,
running into new problems. And,
you know, competition is really
NICE"
Mrs. Vanderbilt interrupted to
add:
I'VE started Sonia Gowns

months ago. We started on .
small scale, only 20 girls work
ing for us. Already we have
more than 200. Business is good
and is growing"
FIND BUSINESS BETTER
The twins think business in the
country is definitely on the up
grade. They explained:
''The shops are crowded and
women are buying more expen-
Sive gowns. Theaters, night
clubs are packed. People are
certainly spending more money
and seem more cheerful"
America, they believe, is going
to run Paris a close race as the
style center Of the world. They
said:
"Of course, we still go to Paris
to see the trend. But that is
all. Women used to think that

Six other men who were in the

month ago. This note, which the
star disregarded, said:
unless you send $1,000 there
will be acid thrown in your
face"
The note also contained instruc.
tions for sending the money, it
was said. A second note followed
one week after the first. and when
the third letter arrived one week
ago Miss West went to the police.

That came as near as possible to
tossing the pennant right into the

can win the flag outright is to trim
Chicago five games straight in their
final series, which starts tomorrow.

Cubs enjoyed the first of two days Of
