TALKING OF BUSINESS s~
' Models Aid Stag Night Shoppers
At Woodward & Lothrop Store

theme is Big Game Hunt OF
'Santa's Safari,' get it?"
No Wife to Guide Him
The man, who looked as If
this was his first safari to a
department store without his
wife as guide, said he got 1t.
Sort of a play on words -
the salesma an explained
further, as a lovely blonde
hung a big white shopping bag
on the mans arm.
Upstairs in the seventh
floor tea room they were serv-
ing Barely Bruised Buffalo,
Mermaid a la Newburg,
Dreaded Boa" But not really.
AS the man said, another play
on words"
At exactly 6:42 pm. 30 tall
willowy creatures glided among
the men and created a twitter
among the tea cups. Their
clothes were dazzling. Their
hair was piled high, and their
eye shadow was jade green,
blue and purple.
The lobster Newburg was
getting cold, but the men
didn't seem to notice. They
watched the girls and chewed
slowly on Jumps of Swiss
cheese. There were no wives
around to kick shins under the
dinner table.
Can you bend over in
that?" one man asked a model
wearing a tight Dynasty"
green silk lounging outfit. She
answered him with a sly smile.
Another man poked his
friend in the ribs and pointed
in the direction of Miss LUX

For Wife, Too
Are you buying for your
wife or girl friend?" said one
girl. Both" replied a potential
customer.
Mrs. Irene Trakas wore a
pink sequined evening gown
festooned with tickly purple
feathers. This creation is from
the Chandelier Room" she said.
1t put the chandeliers in the
prestige Chandelier Room to
shame.
After the buffet, many men
headed for the third floor
where they keep the intimate
apparel" Here they tried to
picture their wives in baby-doll
pajamas and crow-black negli-
gees. Some men handed the
items back to the salesgirls
and shook their heads de-
jectedly. A low hypnotic layer
of perfume hung heavy in the
warm air.
After a few hours of riding
escalators, waiting for eleva-
tors, filling shopping bags and
leering at pretty girls, an
other Stag Night had come to a
close. The smiling models said
their goodbys at the front door
and went home.
For one night Woodward &
Lothrop's belonged to the men
and it was great while it lasted.
Today, reality showed it's way
into the store and gave it back
to the women shoppers for an
other year.
so the great god Normally
reigns again, and perhaps it's
better this way after all. A big
department store with no
female but only confused male
shoppers in it can give you
the creeps. It's like being in
a sort Of twilight zone.

$50 Billion in
Third Quarter

Americans added $50 billion
to their savings in financial
form during the three months
ended September 80, compared

nesses, trust funds and nom
profit organizations.
The largest third quarter in
creases were in assets Of a more
liquid type, including bank de-
posits and marketable Govern
ment securities. This was attrib-
uted to the shifting of some
funds because Of uncertainties
following the sharp stock
market break at the end Of
May.
Individuals added $500 mil
lion to their marketable Treas
uly securities, compared with
a liquidation of 5000 million in
the second 1862 quarter.
Net purchases Of mutual
fund shares aggregated $500
million, compared with $500
million in the preceding quar-
ter. The gain was the smallest
for any quarter since the end
of 1860.
Time and savings deposits
rose by $3.4 billion. These &C
counts have expanded by q
record $11.S billion since the
first of this year.
Demand deposits increased
$2.4 billion in the three
months, largely because of
seasonal factors. and shares in
savings and loan associations
and credit unions rose SIT bill
lion.
Individuals liquidated COM
mon and preferred stocks
amounting to $400 million.
Liquidation in each Of the first
two 1862 quarters exceeded 81
billion.

Twenty years ago you

lingerie counter.
But at Woodward g. 10TH
rop's annual Stag Night where
they separate the men from
the women for a Christmas
rush buying spree, you couldn't
keep them away.
Many men carried little
scribbled notes from their
wives telling them what to get,
how much to pay, what color,
and the size.
So with one eye on an empty
negligee and the other eye
ogling a beautiful model drift
ing around in a "surefire" red
nightgown, the males made the
Stag Night a financial and

Whether such a committee should
be appointed was to have been topic

nounced before discussion on the

GAS governmental pressure toward
unity becomes greater, so strife be-
comes more bitter as to whose unity
it shall be. Probably no deeper divi-
sion of our people could proceed from
any provocation than from finding
it necessary to choose what doctrine
and whose program public education
al officials shall compel youth to
unite in embracing.
Ultimately futility of such at
tempts to compel conference is the
lesson of every such effort from the
Roman drive to stamp out Christian
ity as disturber of its pagan unity,
the Inquisition, as means to relig-
ious and dynastic unity, the Siberian
exiles as a means to Russian unity,
down to the fast failing efforts of
our present totalitarian enemies.

therein. If there are any circum-

us to have such requests made Of

elsewhere.

possible, that we allow all young

about every subject in
