Bathing Beauty * ^ Review Pleases State Clothiers J. N. Jackson, St. Paul, Declares Trade Conditions Better—Living Models Show Suits. It was a fortunate bunch of Ne braska clothiers that attended the style show and bathing beauty revue at Hotel Font^nelle Tuesday after noon. because the affair staged for their benefit by the Bradley Knitting company of Delevan. Wis., was char acterized by a verve and finish that will linger in their memories for weeks to come. Following the showing of various and varicolored samples of sweaters, shawls and caps for both men and women, the delegates to the eighth annual convention of the Nebraska Befall Clothiers’ association were on tf rtatned by a score of Omaha girls, ranging in age from -t to Ifi. These were the pupils of Miss Grace Ab bott, dancing teacher, the same as ap peared recently at a local theater in "The, Kidnight Follies,’’ and one of the numbers presented was the first act of that production, all of the chil dren appearing in bathing suits. Suits Shown on Hiving Models. Then came the part of the per formance for which the clothiers were waiting at which more than 100 had gathered—the showing of men's m and women's bathing suits on living models. More than a dozen models * participated in this feature, every one of the female contingent being as pretty as a peach and as easy to look at as one could imagine. It fetjuired more than two hours to present the entire affair and. unlike at. many oc casions of this nature, not a single person left the room until it was over. Preceding the style show was a luncheon tendered the Men’s Apparel ! club by the clothiers’ association, the ! feature of which was an address on j "Trade Conditions and Outlook” by 1 ,1. N. Jackson of St. Paul, Minn. In j comparing conditions of today with : those of a year ago. Mr. Jackson ! stated that they are much better than then, that there is practically no un employment in any part of the coun try and that there is every reason to ” believe that the next year or so will prove to be sufficiently prosperous to satisfy everybody. ru/x Wears Oil. Probably the chief feature in the matter of discussion among the dele gates was their outspoken objection to the further manufacture of over coats from the soft, fuzzy materials that have been in vogue during the last two years. The fuzz, or soft wool, wears off quickly, they say, making the overcoat unsightly be fore the owner has had a chance to even begin to get his money's worth out of it. Tractically all delegates de clared themselves In favor of a re turff'to the hard materials used a few j years back. Itudio f nneeri Today. The evening session of the clothiers was opened with a dinner, after which various groups held round-table dig cusslons. Today's program Includes a lunch- i con and songfest, together with a radio concert furnished by the Ne- ; braska Power company.
