...were rigidly keeping prices reasonable. Since Paris is the capital of fashion, females from all over the world are now swarming daily into the Exposition's Pavilion d'Elégance, but most of the great French creators of style are a match for them. Never accustomed hitherto to showing their latest models to the vulgar public, they have created for the Exposition dresses too breathtakingly extreme, fantastic and sumptuous to be worn by one woman in a million, show them mostly on featureless-faced mannequins rough-hewn of pinkish beige plaster, some as disproportioned as surrealism. Barely...
Many U. S. travelers have known vaguely for years that somewhere in Paris stands a replica 20 ft. tall of the 152 ft. Statue of Liberty presented by France to the U. S. in 1886.

Casting about for some way of adding substantial millions to the city's revenues, they fished out a plan first proposed five years ago but hitherto regarded as too drastic to touch. This was a tax of four mills on every dollar of most of the "personal property" (securities) held in Philadelphia by mutual savings banks and mutual life and fire insurance companies. This time the Council passed the tax and put it up to Mayor...
...Office is to be accepted," voted the Committee, thus permitting six huge provinces of India to have cabinets representing a majority of their Indian legislators, instead of a minority which has hitherto been the "impossible situation." But fiery Pandit Nehru, while he has piped down so far as acts are concerned, continued to pipe words. According to his Committee, office is to be "utilized for the purpose of working ... to further in every possible way the Congress policy of combatting the new Act" (Constitution...
