...Parisian modistes and Hollywood producers. As yet, however, Congress has not decreed that for every three gowns that a Parisienne sells in the U. S., she must buy one U. S. gown and try to sell it in France. The uproar, the heaven-piercing cries for justice which would rise from Paris if the U. S. took such a stand may be imagined.

Lately he acquired an elastic belt to pre vent undue Bendix expansion. An incident in the Bendix rise to fame and financial potency was his part-purchase of the Potter Palmer castle-mansion (TIME, Nov. 19) and other Lake Shore Drive parcels.
