 Madame Jeanne Lanvin the French dress designer. considers the use of perfume so important that she carefully instructs all her man. nequins on the subject

 To Increase Salary

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 2o. = Whether Mayor Thomas L. Holling likes 1t or not, he may have to take his full salary of $12,000 this fiscal year instead of $9,600.
 Last year the Buffalo mayor slashed his own salary voluntari- ly to S9,600 from $l2,000. This fall an auditing firm, revising city en- ployees' laries. recommended widespread decreases and con- cluded by declaring the mayors salary should be immediately re- stored to S12,000.
