| Chicago. March 6 ? From time im
memorial the right man at the right
time and place has told the right
girl that she looked like and was
worth anything from a million dol-i
lars'up. Certainly a lot of them
-meant it ? at the time of saying it ?
and doubtless there are today quite
a few, what with spring coming on
and everything, who would dispute
I the assertion that is to follow. But
'it in tme. never-tlie-lcsa. go far as
intrinsic values are concerned.
There is only one woman in the
world today whose life actually and
intrinsically is worth $3,000,000.
She lives here in -Chicago, and she
is owner and directing head of one
of the city's biggest department
stores. She is Mrs. Mollie Netcher
Newbury.
Documents have just been sinned
making Mrs, Newbury the most
heavily Insured woman in the world.
To the $1,200,000 Insurance she has
been carrying, she has added $1.
800.000. The next heavily insured
woman is said to be Mrs. Marshall
Field 111. with a million dollars le.^s
than Chicago's business empress.
Mrs. Field is not in business.
Mrs. Newbury was a dress buyer
some years ago. having worked up
from the proverbial bottom of the
ladder. She married the owner ami
put business away to rear throe sons
and a daughter. When her husband
died she Immediately took over his
desk, insisting that she would be
closer to his memory and more con
tented if she worked. Under her
guidance the store has quadrupled in
size.
Despite her active business life,
?Mrs. Newbury ? youn? despite her
50 odd years ? is as delightfully fem
inine a woman as one would want
to meet. That Is. unless you saw
her at a directors' meeting as the
writer did. Then she is all business.
There is but one thing that can
tempt her from business cares, and
that is opera. She just can't, to use
Jjer own words, concentrate on busl
ne^SNwhen her favorite opera is sche
duled for a matinee.
Mrs. Newbury's three boys are all
members of the firm, but anyone in
the store will tell you they don't
hold their jobs just because they
are Mania's boys.
But it's funny ? Mrs. Newbury
would probably cut ofT her right
hand before she would let her
daughter work in the store. A de
partment store ofTers a great chance
for a girl with a purpose in her
heart ? Mrs. Newbury will concede
that. But she says she wants her
daughter to devote her time to do
mestic affairs and to those public af
fairs for which she has leisure.

SUITS TO BE
SPRING VOGUE
And Wonderful Variety of
Fabric for Spring Trade
With Colors of Such Namn

(Copyright. 1*24. By The Advance)
New York, March 6. ? Nothing
could better Indicate the vogue
which suits probably will have this
spring than the wonderful variety of
fabrics provided by the greatest
American woolen producer for the
spring garment trade. Over 250 dif
ferent kinds of fabrics have been
placed at the disposal of the tailors
and dress makers, and the official
shades for suits and dresses embrace
17 new tints.
The names by which these are
known sound like n string of Pull
man cars. Among them are Messi
dore, Forban, Carnovain and I'har
oan. However, the tints in plain
language range from light tan to
electric green, rosewood brown,
Egyptian red and mustard.
The terrible American habit of
reciting, which made "Gunga Din"
and "The Shooting of Dan McGrew"
anathema In every male gathering.'
has had something to do with thei
popularity of the boyish suit with
the younger femlnipe contingent.!
Some of them, imbued with a desliv :
to recite "Mon Homme," leaning
against a fragile stage lamp post a
la Fannie Crice, are dresslng'as they!
think a female Parlsion Apache
ought to dress If she were the kind
of a person they think she is.
This conception involves closely
bobbed hair, surmounted by a close
little hat, a short tailored suit and
a scarlet neckerchief of a tint to
match the shade l?*ft by the lipstic'.;
i on the mouth above it. Some of
the wearers look qunliflcd to recite
about "My Man" nnd others have to
he content to let the costume speak
for them.
The tailored mode lias gone. <>ven
deeper and has touched the newest
lingerie. Gowns and pajamas are
tailored In so far as such garments
are capable of this treatment.
The simplicity of the suit lines
naturally has dictated somewhat less
elaborate styles for shoes for spring.
