In the matter of number of

within its limits. 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

appearance this desire is readily
understood. But those wishing
to have it done should know it
can be a very dangerous opera

said to have died because of a
faulty operation for nose altera

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

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. -
