"Sure I like good clothes. But why should I pay $50 or more when I get them at Richman Brothers for $24.50 or $29.50?"

We hear this remark, and others like it, from thousands of customers in our stores, every day. They come from men who can well afford to pay . a lot more, too.

catt-| Workers in Hotel" Smile in Face of War's Grief And Hard Work. §

‘By LELAND STOWE

Co ht, 1943, by The Indianapolis Times pyre ihe Chicago Daily News, Inc.

MOSCOW, Nov. 12.—As my farewell to Moscow, I want to tell you

||about the people who have been

taking care of my physical comforts ever since I ingtalled myself in the Hotel Metropole six months ago. I suppose the workers on the third’

floor of my hotel are part of Russia’s war effort as

“j{the families in

any street or

city would be.

But since last May, I have come to know these third - floor com-

pretty well and Mr Stowe again and again I have marveled at

work, their steady, uncomplaining fortitude and their ability to smile. Last week one of my third-floor friends lost her smile. She is a blond, 22-year-old woman named Nonna, who was formerly a medical student and works as reception clerk on our floor,

Her Laugh Silenced

Nonna always laughed easily, especially at the end of the day when she was bouncing her lusty 20-months-old baby boy on her lap. But Nonna’s turn came last week— news that her husband had been

killed at Stalingrad. When I heard about it, I wanted

sitting at the reception desk, palefaced and staring vacantly down the corridor. All I could do was to shake her hand very tightly. She stayed at her job all that day. For these six months the chief of my three chambermaids has been Pasha Fedorina, a frail, gray-haired

passion for cleanliness. Every morning her “good morning” glows with an amazing cheerfulness. Pasha has spent 37 of her 57 years as chambermaid in the Metropole, which means that she saw much of its music, champagne parties and madness between 1914 and 1917 and knows how much more sober and serious this war is, in Moscow and everywhere else,

Son-In-Law Missing

Pasha’s daughter works in an arms factory. Her soldier son-in-law has been missing for 13 months —which means only one thing. Usually my breakfast is served by a’ slender, crisp-moustached, little waiter named Peter Levin. He has to carry all the food up three flights tof stairs. Peter Levin has two sons in the Russian army, the younger in an officers’ training camp, the older fighting at Stalingrad. He also has two daughters, both married and both with husbands at the front. The husband of the younger daughter has been wounded three times. Peter's other son-in-law is in the air force, a captain who was

rated. Only One Never Smiles

The captain’s wife, who is Peter’s oldest daughter, is serving in the sanitary corps in a front sector. There is the tall, dark-eyed, hag-gard-faced Russian who has been shining my shoes all these months:

think he’s the only one of our thirdfloor employees ‘whom I've never seen smile. The other day my Russian shoeshine man told me briefly about his sons. Prokapiy had one son in the cavalry and he has been missing for more than a year. That leaves little doubt that this son is dead. Prokapiy’s second son was fighting at Voronezh but there has been no news from him since last July, which probably means that he too is dead. His third son is fighting on the Leningrad front.
