weather in the East, but already this
interruption is passing.
It is notable that this time the
''heavy industries" are participating.
Steel production and building activity
have shown the strongest trend for
this season in several years, and the
same can be said of bank clearings.
Furthermore, railway carloadings are
rising more than seasonally.
1t seems reasonably clear that this
expansion will continue for some months.
l doubt that profits will be proper
tionally good, since wages and taxes
are relatively high, while prices have
been held back by foreign conditions
and domestic uncertainties. But larger
volume will help in most cases.

fashion world Bound to hap
pen in this most exciting of
Il seasons. Some designers are
influenced by period fashions. basing
entire collections on historic designs.
Others will have none of them, saying
that fashions should be of the present,
looking forward, not backward, for
inspiration. But we needn't choose
sides. Some period fashions are de-
lightful, with the proper time and
place and individual in view. And
the mode of the moment is quite as
attractive, with the modern woman,
her needs, her build and the active life
she leads taken into consideration.
This dress minimizes all the influ-
ences brought to bear in the Fall and
Winter mode. There is not any of
the Renaissance in its simple lines.
No military business, no Edwardian or
Victorian fussiness, no Slavic or Gaelic
tendencies. Just a perfectly forth
right, beautifully cut dress, which the
smart woman Of today will find smart
and becoming, practical and nice to
wear.
There is a panel which starts at
the neckline, and extends down the
entire length of the dress. 1t grows
wider as it reaches the hem, giving
that little fare to the skirt which
makes it the seasons own. A similar
panel begins at the waist in back.
The neck is square, and outlined with
a square-cut collar, cut away in front
to show the first of four buttons which
adorn the front of the blouse. The
sleeves are long and cut in one with
the dress, which emphasizes the deep
underarm seam and widened shoulders.
Buttons, being the only trimming
of this dress, should be very carefully
selected. There are many attractive
ones in the shops, gunmetal, simulated
gold and silver, some like coins of the
realm. Some are made from nuts.
