Alfred Fantl Spends $1,000,000 Each Day of the Year Buying Clothes

EXPERT KEEPS TWO JUMPS AHEAD OF CHANGING STYLES Predicts Long* Skirts Are Merely Passing Fad, Bobbed Hair Will Stay and Corsets Will Never Return to Popularity. By E. M. THIERRY NEW YORK, Sept. 13.—There is a man in New York who knows what you are going to wear before you wear it, who buys it so that you can buy it, who knows what you like and don’t like before you do—who keeps about two jumps ahead of ’ ♦ \ your pocketbook and your taste in ijL-’? He is Alfred Fantl. lie spends more than $1,000,000 a day as ; I- -Vv> ; _j/ resident buyer of several hundred Re * departments stores and specialty ||ik /, l[ &&&£ :£||pUL shops scattered over the T'nited ■ States.

ALFRED FANTI.. “The day of the petticoat and j ‘.he shirtwaist is over permanently. “Modern dancing has taken the steel out of corsets. “Earrings will be popular a long time. Few women know how to choose the correct earrings; short ones are the better. “Dresses with capes and coats have the call over suits.” Fanti says he knows these things, just as he knows about prosperity i and dull times —by the temper of the enormous buying public he repre- | sents. With a corps of expert buyers, Fantl has an organization that directly or indirectly handled $411,000,000 in merchandise purchases last year. His own buyers alone bought $50,000,000 worth, in addition to the purchasing power the organization represents. “When you buy for retail stores you have your finger on the public's prosperity tfulse,” sas Fantl. “Resident buying is anew business, - a new development of the last few years. peps) “More and more merchants are coordinating their buying closely following our system in which the enori \ p/\)K* mous purchasing power of chain store methods cuts ; A \ Af® down costs.” M V Fantl predicts a steady decrease in retail prices BElf'c' ’ during the next five years. He says business conditions J Y throughout the country are improving, with only spoTJKffq i radic injury from the coa! and railroad strikes. r/Bli n “People are down to a better merchandising level.” {JMBStA K he said. “During our war prosperity we had a luxury | T splurge; now there is a larger luxury class, and eeru. < s~ | tain things that used to be luxuries are now consld- I jHfr jtfigEF\]p_ ered necessities—such as silk stockings—but generally people are buying a better class of goods.” Ninety-five per cent of the goods Fantl's corps E¥F wW-JEBfr. — buys is for women. Here's the way he divides up the | buying done by women: 40 per cent dry goods, cotton goods and piece goods. 15 per cent hosiery and underwear. 30 per cent ready-to-wear clothing. 15 per cent notions and fancy goods. “Styles come and go in cycles," says Fantl. “It Is almost a mathe- j matical calculation. Different cities have different signs that indicate th> I passing of an old style, the taking up of anew one in fsfV/f j by what we call Class A stylists, the advent of mass buying in this style, the progress of the Class A wornJfAr\ furri an to something new, and so on. /l Imiia “Men’s styles change very little, though there are /J Q fads. Men are vain enough, bnt one of their big troubles is that they know little about color combinations. i “The vainest woman is the stout woman. Women * J J\(j\A generally are going to cling to bobbed hair and short v'V/'VA /-vs skirts because these things add to their youth and /vV/ L <; looks; they will prevail no matter what manufacturers ' try to sell them.” /r/\\ Fantl is 56 and came to America from Czecho-Slo-jY / Nv\ vakia thirty-seven years ago. He served a long ap- ' ' • prentlceship in department stores and was one of the pioneers in resident buying. He regards it as a science as well as a business. ’

THE ADVENTURES OF RAGGEDY ANN AND ANDY

“Can you ever forgive us for chasing you, Raggedy Ann and Raggeuy /.ndy?” the two funny little old women asked after they had thanked 1 the Raggedys for giving them such a j nice lolly-pop garden right out In ! front of their little house. "Yes, indeed.” laughed Raggedy : Ann and Raggedy Andy, "We forgave 1 you when we gave you the lolly-pop ! garden and if you would like, we will j give you a lot of nice things!” “Oh, we would love to have you j give us nice things.” the two funny little old women said, “but, you have given us the lolly-pop garden and that is the nicest thing you could give us!” ; “You just let Raggedy Andy and ' me think a moment and see if we j can’t wish you something that you j will like better than the lolly-pop garden!” said Raggedy Ann. So the two funny little old women were very, very quiet while Raggedy ■ Ann and Raggedy Andy went over jin a corner and sat down to think. j Raggedy Ann thought so hard, she ) heard a stich rip out of the back of her rag head and Raggedy Andy thought so hard he popped one of the threads which held part of his hair in place. Then when they had thought for a long time Raggedy Ann made a wish. And immediately, ■without any waiting at all, the wish came true; and there growing in a large green lard bucket was a brush. L’pon the bush were red and yellow and pink and blue and purple and g*een and black and white dresses. “How lovely!” cried the two funny little old women. “Now we can have pretty new dresses, whenever we wish them!” and they both kissed Raggedy Ann. Then Raggedy Andy made his wish; and immediately, without any waiting at all there was another bush growing in a red lard bucket and on the bush ’ were red and yellow and pink and blue i and purple and green and black and white hats. “Oh, how lovely!" the - two funny little old women cried, “Now we can have lovely new hats whenever we wish to pick them!” and they both kissed Raggedy Andy. Then Raggedy Ann made another wish and Raggedy Andy made another wish and there stood two more bushes. One in a large blue lard bucket and the other in a large yellow lard bucket. And upon the bushes grew red and yellow and pink and blue and purple and green and black and white siock-

CHAPTER IV Enter Romance When she had graciously permitted j Duchemin to assist her to a place in I the carriage Madame Sevente turned immediately to comfort her granddaughter. It was easy to divine an attachment there, between d’Aubrac and Louise de Montalais; Duchemin fancied (and, as it turned out. rightly) the two were betrothed. But Madame de Montalais was claiming his attention. Momentarily a hand, slender and ; firm and cool, rested in his own. Then its owner was settling into placo bej side Madame Sevenie, and Duchemin clambering up to his on the box. j The road proved quite rough and de- ! clivitous. Duchemin was grateful for the moonlight—until he remembered that without the moon there would have been no expedition that night 1 to view the mock ruins of Montpelier by its unearthly light, and eonsei quently no adventure to entangle | them. Upon this reflection he swore softly | but most fervently into his beoeming ! beard. He was well fed up with adI ventures, thank you, and could have ; done very well without this latest.

Whereas the motor car was waiting, safe and sound enough, I its chauffeur had vanished into thin ! air. Whereupon Duchemin asked i whether the chauffeur had been a I stout man, and being informed that it ! was so. considered the case complete. 1 Mesdames de Sevenie et de Montalais, j he suggested, might give tip all hope ;of ever seeing that particular chauf--1 four. j The landlord of the auberge, a surly i sot. who had supplied the barouche with the man to act as driver and j guide in one. took with ill gmo* the charge that his employe had been in (league with the band.ts.

Seated beside Madame tie Montalais. Duchemin watched her operate the car With skilful hands on the road to Nant. The sweep of night air in his face was sweet and smooth, and stroked his eyelids with touches as bland as caresses of a pretty woman’s fingers. It was good to be alive tonight, alive and weary and not ill content with self, in a motor car swinging swiftly : and silently along a river road in the hills of southern France. with a woman lovely and mysterious at the wheel. Duchemin was conscious of something like a shock of emotion, a sudden surging of some hunger that had long lain dormant in his being, unsuspected, how long he could not sur- i - niise, gaining strength in latency, waiting to be awakened and set free Iby one careless, sidelong look and! | smile of a strange woman. “Eve,” he whispered, unheard.

the length of time devoted by Monsieur Duchemin to kicking idle heels In the town of Nant; where the civil authorities proved considerate in a degree that gratified and surprised the confirmed Parisian. The driver-guide of La Roque turned out to have been a thoroughpaced scamp, well and ill-known to the gendarmerie; the wound sustained by Monsieur d’Aubrac bore testimony to the gravity of the affair, amply excusing Duchemin’s interference and Its fatal sequel. Late in the afternoon of his sec- | ond day In Nant, Duchemin let his vision dwell upon the distant 1 chateau almost as constantly as his thoughts. He was to dine there that very i evening. He had yet to hold one minute of private conversation with i Eve de Montalais, and yet . . . Now he had seen Madame de Mon- j talals another time, and had found that she fitted to the sweetest detail of perfection his ideal of Woman. • On the previous afternoon, meeting the ladles of the chateau by arrangement In the bureau of the mayor, Duchemin had sat opposite and watched and listened to Eve de , Montalais for upward of two hours. Posed with consummate elegance in her half-mourning, she had narrated quietly her version of last night’s misadventure, an occasional tremor of humor lightening the moving modulations of her voice.

I waa played out when I would just sweep one room and wou Id have to rest 1 would have to put a cushion behind me when I would sit down and at night I could not sleep unless I had something under my back. I had awful cramps every month and was just nearly all in. Finally my husband said to me one day, ‘Why don’t you try Lydia E.
