The best le in town are trying it these days. Hundreds of visitors are enjoying The Star’s “silhouette parties” at the Bon Marche. Yesterday bly 1,000 filed past A. H. Harrison, he of the expert eye and magic scissors, as he clipped out the eaados portraits. His artistic work gained the admiration of snleving who watched him. It’s great fun and quite the popular thing the day—this silhouette stunt. “Isn't it wonderful how he makes that little girl’s curls stand out so life-like,” exclaimed one mother as Artist Harrison cut into a silhouette a mass of fluffy curls. “Now, grandma, you must have your silhouette taken,” insisted three little girls who were enjoying a sight of their own pictures and wanted one of the gray-haired old lady with them to complete the list of souvenirs of the afternoon. It takes just a minute to get your silhouette. The parties are held on the second floor, children’s wear department. The hours are from 10 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon, and 2 to 5 o'clock. Artist Harrison will be at the Bon several days yet. It’s The HOW'S BUSINESS?

(Editor's Note—The following le the fourth and concluding article of The Star's survey of t' the business conditions in America todi .We have made a very careful investigation of the ation, and the following is the summary.) Summarizing the business situation and outlook, ft may be said that there is nothing in the situation to create apprehen- sion. Such a thing as a panic fs obviously impossible. A panic results from inflated credits and the quick apprehension of coming calamity. Business has climbed down the precipice and is at the bottom of the valley. Therefore, there is not any danger of tumbling over the edge. It is only a question of climbing out. Under the previously discussed hea crop situation, which is a very important resumption of large business activities; data favorable for t It le found that the nt, is unusually on foreign trade Indicate that American manufacturers have not yet adjusted themselves to the competition brought on by the iowering of tariff duties or other causes, and that they are not holding their position in the foreign markets, the reason for which may be psychological or otherwise. The statistics of transportation show that the railroads have always profited largely from their carrying business and that only in proportion to the general falling off in business activity have they been co-sufferers; their campaign for in- creased rates has hurt their own credit and borrowing power and has indirectly injured other business. This factor will soon be removed by a decision of the rate case by the interstate commerce commission. The condition of manufactures, as indicated specifically by steel, textiles and lumber, bears out the general conclu- sions drawn from other figures on foreign trade. Labor com ditions simply reflect the state of the industrial world. It is pretty generally conceded that the business depres sion has reached its lowest grade, and the question which Is interesting everybody is whether the country is at the present moment on t go on at about upward move Some of ‘edge of the uprising or whether business will ¢ same level for a year and then start on the ment tHe best business diagnosticians say that more time is required to squeeze fictitious values out of speculative real estate, and that until this is done the readjustment cannot lace.
