Easter Buying
May Set Record
Over 1929
BY UNITED PRESS

BY UNITED PRESS
The American woman's Easter
costume is going to be the gayest
and the most colorful since the
start of the war, and it certainly
will be the most expensive since
1929, United Press survey revealed
today.
Clothing sa-C5 n the nations
leading shopping oenters have jump
ed from 20 to as per cent since the
Easter buying rush began, and many
department store managers pre-
dicted that sales would top the 1929
figure.
Only a shortage of merchandise
will prevent the establishment of
new sales record, they said.
Women are buying the more
frivolous items with emphasis on
gay colors and femininity, sales
clerks reported. Hats are more
frivolous than they have been for
several years and the supply is
plentiful.
/ Minneapolis and St. Paul showed
the greatest increase in buying over
last year. Sales in the twin cities
we're up 46 per cent.
San Francisco department stores
reported sales heavier than 1914
and 1929, and at Los Angeles sales
we're up Is per cent over last year.

If Foreign Wives
Can Join G.I. s,
Why Can't Ours?
BY RUTH MILLETT

The bachelor congressman who
proposed that wives of fighting men
be sent overseas tc be with their
husbands everywhere but in combat
areas has taken lot of kidding
about his plan.
But plenty of service wives can't
find anything funny about his plan.
Not whit they read in their papers
about the shiploads of Australian
wives of service men who are land
ing in America, and when they read
of all the other foreign wives of
G.I 5 who are finding it possible to
get > America.
If :Creign wives can come to
America in wartime-what is so silly
about suggesting that American
wives of fighting men be allowed
to go to them in the cities and
towns of Australia, England, France
and so on?
1t looks, the way things stand
now, as though all the odds are
against the American wife or fl
ancee.
The men can marry overseas and
get their wives back to America.
But if they are married or engaged
tc American girls, the men know
that the women can't follow them,
but must stay put for the duration
WANT FAIR BREAK
And that is beginning to make
American women feel they aren't
getting a fair break.
Every time the papers carry a
story about how important it is for
American girls to wait for their
men overseas I get stack CT letters
complaining about all the men who
are marrying abroad.
And why not--when it is so much
more convenient? G. 1. Joe marries
a girl in Australia, lives with her
there until he is sent home and
then has her come to America. But
if he marries an American girl and
then gets shipped overseas for two
or three years, he has to leave his
wife behind.
To women the congressman pro-
posal makes sense.
