The report said sales in 353I
large department stores across
the Nation were off 2 per cent
this August, compared with Au-
gust last year. They were 3 per
cent less in the first eight months
of this year than during the same
period of 1851.
April-August Sales Better.
However, the boards index Of
sales in these stores from April
through August this year ran
ahead of sales in the same five
months of 1851. The reporting
stores accounted for nearly half

store sales in 1851. the board said
The index indicated that the

ment store merchandise is home
furnishings. Sales in this group
averaged 1918 per cent better,
from April through August this
year than in 1941. The board
uses average monthly sales in

Home furnishings sales from April

Main store sales, although off 4

The five-month average of
main store sales was 89.4 per cent

the 194l average. That was 70
percentage points over main store
sales in the same five months of
this year. Last year also, base

Mrs. Perle Mesta, the American
Minister to Luxembourg, who

despite her self imposed limitation
of one gathering in each "a hours.

in honor of the Minister is gar
den party to be given this after
noon by Miss Carolyn Nash. To-
morrow evening Mr.. and Mrs. M.
Robert Guggenheim will entertain
her at dinner.

Icepted a luncheon invitation from
Mrs. Jesse M. Donaldson, wife OF
the Postmaster General, and a
ibid to an afternoon party being
given by the American Newspaper
Women's Club, of which she is an
associate member.

given by the Luxembourg Minister
and Madame LIE Calais.

York June 5 of next week, to ad-
dress a luncheon meeting of the
