WOMEN'S INTERESTS MRS. JOHN KILGORE, E? Advanct) | 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. little grandson.

AII.KEN LAMONT (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.
