HUGE TRADE MARK SWINDLE DISCLOSED BY PARIS RAID

'U.S. Women - Victims of Deceptions J by MINOTT SAUNDERS _ * NEA Service Writer Z. PARIS, Nov. 19.—There Is nothing in a name, especially if it is that of a fashionable Paris dressmaker sewed on the inside of a woman’s dress or coat or hat. This startling statement is made In view of revelations that have followed the raid here on the headquarters of an old-established firm - specializing in the wholesale manufacture of labels purportir-.g. by various designs of artistry and trickery, to come from the world's best known producers of women’s, wear. When madame carefully drapes her favorite coat over a chair so - that the proud trade mark will show -so all who care to see, she may be fooling herself more than impressing her friends. For the trade mark can be just as much of a copy as the coat itself. Seize Fake Trade Marks Over 50,000 faked trade marks of houses familiar in Paris haute couture were captured in a search of the establishment of E. Philibert in the Rue Saint-Sauvcur, a firm which for fifty-six years has been known as specializing in gildings on leather and fabrics and in color impressions. Working on a tip from the Maison Jean Patou, the police found the labels in an old wardrobe and promptly arrested the director, Antoine Schmidelin. They charged him with counterfeiting trade marks and complicity in counterfeiting. Quite a list of ~ accomplices is expected to face similar charges. The police discovered that for over five years a factory in the south of France had been manufacturing false labels and another in Paris was printing them on ribbons. Believe Scheme World-Wide These trademarks were given to agents, who sold them to unscrupulous dressmakers, making it possible for very ordinary garments to be sold at almost first-class Paris prices. , Most of these gaments, it has been established, have been foreign- I ers or representatives of foreign j producers of clothes. The police j feel sure they have run down a | world-wide organization for selling | inferior copies of models, with j forged name tabs. Some of the labels found were ab- j solute copies, while others were changed very slightly, but not enough to arouse the suspicion of discerning customers in foreign countries. Trickery Costly to Customers In some Patou became Patout, Molyneux became Mauluneux, Caroline Reboux became Coraline Reboux, while the labels of Worth, Jenny, Lelong, Paquin and those of other famous houses were either perfectly imitated or only slightly altered. M. Davin, head of the fashion - protective organization, estimates that Paris style houses have been cheated out of millions of francs by this trickery. “It is a common practice for unscrupulous persons to buy machinemade dresses and put fake labels on them,” said a spokesman for Jean Patou. ” French houses copy gowns, but they would not dare copy the labels. This traffic in trade marks is for foreign customers, but the really discerning woman will look “ at the dress instead of the label.”

JANE JORDAN’S interest in you does not end with your first letter. You are invited to write and tell her how her advice worked out, and ask any further questions that have come up in relation to your problem. Dear Jane Jordan—l am married to the sweetest man in all the world, and we have four of the sweetest children. But I hear mv husband hasn't been true to me. I told him what I heard, but he denied evervthine. He savs he loves me. cares so- me and the children, and is true to me. as sure as there is a God In heaven. He used to come home at night, -at his supper and then ao to bed. But now everything is changed. He takes me and the children to the movies once a week, and to see our friends. We have a nice home and plenty of good things to eat. Shall I believe evervthine I hear? How can vou tell whether a man runs around or not? KIND MOTHER. DEAR Kind Mother—By all means, believe your husband! If you're a pood wife, vou will trust him and take his word against all the world! Your faith and confidence will keep him true to you, but suspicion and doubt will drive him to do the very things you fear! A wise wife shuts her eyes to the things that make a fooolish wife rant and rave. Who told you this yarn? A woman, 1 11 wager. Men never run around planting seeds of suspicion and trying to tear down happiness. A man sooner would have his throat cut than tell a friend that his wife was unfaithful (unless he was dishonorable and had designs on the wife.) But women wallow In gossip of this sort. If they see another woman happily married, they just can’t wait until they get something on her husband. The first time his foot slips, or appears to slip, they break their necks to get to the unsuspecting wife with the grand news that her husband is cheating! Why can’t they keep still? Even if the man is guilty, the matter would blow over nine times out of ten if meddling friends would mind their own business. Besides it’s a serious thing to accuse a man of misconduct before you can prove it. The law will not accept circumstantial evidence. If a man is seen talking to another woman, it is no sign that he is engaged in a mad love affair. Gossip has long been likened to an old hag. and it’s a true comparison. It is one of the most cowardly forms of evil, because it gives the person concerned no chance to defend himself, but spreads like a vicious disease concealed from his view. Why didn’t your informant go to your husband instead of to you, un-

less she hoped to stir up trouble? No doubt she was afraid of his righteous wrath. Why didn’t you give her a piece of your mind for her meddling? Isn’t your husband a good man and a kind father? Doesn’t he provide well for you and the children? Isn’t he trying to do everything in the world to prove his love and devotion? If he seldom goes out by himself, when does he have time for his alleged infidelity? Nonsense! If you know when you are well off, you will trust him. tt 8 tt Dear Jane Jordan—l am 18 and have been going with different fellows for several years. But after you go out with them several times, they just think they own you and can do as they please. Why is it a fellow can’t go out with a girl and act like a gentleman? I would like to go steady with some one. Most of my girl friends go steady, or else they are married. Lots of boys ask for dates, but after I go out with them once or twice, and don't do as they say. they just won’t go with me again. There are several boys I would like to know. How can I get acquainted with them? M. E. G. T'vEAR M. E. G.—lt is no new U story for a man to try to “make” every girl that he goes with. Although the average man still holds to his Ideal of chastity in women, he will do everything on earth to tear it down, often hoping and praying that it won’t be possible, and despising the girl when it is. You might try a little experiment on the next young man who asks you for a date. Right in the beginning. before he has a chance to start anything, tell him how “different” he is from all the other boys that you have known. Tell him you can plainly see that he is not the sort who tries to “make” every girl that he knows. If he responds to your ruse with ! good conduct, confide your troubles in him. Tell him of your distress over the way other fellows act. Build up his ego step by step, and see if he doesn’t try to express your ideal of him. Never try to get acquainted with any young man. Let him get acquainted with you. SORORITY’S DINNER DANCE ANNOUNCED Beta chapter, Sigrtfa Delta Zeta sorority, will entertain with a dinner dance Thanksgiving night at the Whispering Winds. The sorority will meet at 8 Monday night at the home of Miss Virginia Baase, 928 Virginia avenue.

What’s in Fashion?

Tables for Gifts Directed By AMOS PARRISH

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.—“ What’s the other furniture like?” That’s the first question to ask yourself if you’re planning to give somebody a table for Christmas And the chances are that you are planning exactly that. For small tables are fine fashions in these days when every one wants comfort and convenience right by their elbow. And fine gifts for a year when it’s the fashion to make practical, useful gifts. But your table gift will be appreciated doubly if it’s in perfect harmony with the rest of the furniture. Because that’s the way fashionable rooms should look—harmoniously ensembled. Here are a few suggestions on what types of small tables to get for certain types of rooms. An ideal gift is an end table of a type that's been in fashion over 300 years. Queen Elizabeth had tables like this in her castles, and they’re reproduced today practically unchanged. Put it beside the low r lounge chair in a room that looks Early English . . . One that has oak or walnut pieces m that rather heavy Tudor style. Or beside any low', comfortable, sturdy looking chair in a room that isn’t true period type. It will hold magazines and smoking necessities in a practical modern way. Another English queen, Anne, has given her name to an attractive coffee table. This dates frtfm the 1700’s. While it looks best with other Queen Anne type furniture, it’s really so adaptable that it can be used by almost any type of sofa except the most delicate and classic type. It’s heavy enough to go with lounge types and light enough to go with lighter type sofas. We wouldn’t recommend putting it in a room furnished in Early English style. It’s too feminine looking for that. But it could go in an Early American room or an Early 1932 room very smartly. The Duncan Phyfe is a good American table, called by the name of the man who originated those brass-tipped feet. This table looks particularly well with eighteenth century English furniture, because it w r as from that furniture that Duncan Phyfe got his inspiration. And another old type new in modern fashion is a French provincial chair table dating from the middle 1700’s. Try it with early American furniture for fine effect. But you’ll find it looks just as well in rooms that aren’t strictly period, for it’s simple enough to give an interesting accent. By the w’ay, a framed picture as a gift for a friend is a fine gift, if you have the gift of choosing the
