New York City is second on the list Chicago is the country's top convention city. Incidentally, it is said by those who should know that all male conventions make the most noise, but all-female conventions do the most damage. The women break more things and burn more holes in the room equip ment than men. This, it is said, is especially true of sorority con ventions. Nose Operation Many women are desirous of having the shape of their noses altered. Also quite a few men. As the nose is an extremely mi ners. There is some talk of a tournament from a group from town. We really have some skilled artists with the cue here and a contest of that kind would be welcomed before the hot weather of summer comes. portant factor in general facial appearance this desire is readily understood. But those wishing to have it done should know it can be a very dangerous opera tion. I know of a man who is said to have died because of a faulty operation for nose altera tion. He was a very celebrated fellow. I also know of a woman, wife of a well-known comedian, whose appearance was ruined by a nose operation. So I advise anybody contemplating such an operation to go slowly, to be cer tain the surgeon engaged is com pletely capable and reliable. Horses k Women Marcel Boussac is the owner of the largest racing stable In Europe. Perhaps the largest in the world. Boussac is a million aire many times over. Where did he get his millions? He owns over 30 textile facotries in France. Boussac backed Christian Dior financially. Dior gratefully re sponded by originating styles calling for much material as in the so-called "New Look." Wom en who want to be in fashion are still going for such styles. As for example, those evening gowns that look like tents. I un derstand one of these gowns can require as much as 36 yards of material. No wonder textile manufacturer Monsieur Marcel keeps adding to his millions and expanding his racing stable. - Briefly The eight hour working day was first campaigned for in Chi cago with the slogan: "Eight hours for work, eight hours for sleep, eight hours for recrea tion." . . . When large fortunes are mentioned, that of Charles Nash, the automobile magnate, is frequently overlooked. Mr. Nash left over $50.000.000. The Scot spell it "whisky." That is, without the "e." Keep that in mind, when you make a written reference to Scotch whisky. Asking Queries from clients. Q. Where is -Dead Man's Curve" in New York City, and why is it so called? A. Place you mention is a thing of the past It was a curve in the cable car line at 14th street and Broadway. So many pedestrians were knocked over by cable cars at that spot it was nicknamed Dead Man's Curve. Q. How about this expression, "As independent as a hog on Ice?" What is the origin of it?

Wigs V The women of northern Italy have the finest hair in the world. Many sell their hair to makers of wigs. The most expensive wjgs for women are made from the hair purchased from these Italian beauties. The best wigs are sad to be made by a Lon don firm that has been in the business 140 years.
