Men Are Cause For Women's
1944 Clolhes-Buying Spree
.. BY RUTH MILLETT
American women are on such a
clothes buying spree that it is esti
mated the $2,923,000,000 they spent
!or clothes and accessories in 1943
will be upped by 10 per cent in 1944.
Experts in the trade believed
women are putting such a large
percentage of their money on their
jacks because they can't put it
mto their homes.
That may be, one of the reasons,
jf course. But women have more
personal reasons for buying
clothes these days than the fact
hey can't buy electric ice boxes
md washing machines.
And when you examine those
reasons it is easier to pity wo
men than to hold them in scorn
for spending so much money on
clothes in war time. Look at a.
tew cases—each of which can be
multiplied by thousands.
There is Mrs. Jones whose hus
band is coming home on leave
after 18 m o n t h s in the Pacific.
If y o u think she has anything
hanging in her closet that she
thinks will make her look the
wey she wants to look when she
meets her man—you don’t know
women. Of course, she has to go
out and buy new clothes.
And then there is Mra. Smith
whose husband is working in a
war plant right along with a lot
of young girls who are spending
much of what they make on
clothes. After she has heard Mr.
Smith talk about what knock
outs some of the girls are, she
decides to go down and get some
new clothes in an effort to compete
with their youth.
WANT TO SHINE
• And, of course, there are all
the war brides who are buying
trousseaux for their brief honey
moons.
And there are all the wives and
sweethearts visiting their men at
camps In this country. They may
skimp and save while they live
alone, and make their long trips
by day coach—but they want to
be wearing a good looking outfit
when they step off the train and
when they meet the new friends
their men have made.
Women have little or no secur
ity today. They only have mom
ents when they are with their
men and everything is all right.
And for those moments they want
to outshine all other women in
the eyes of their men. So they
buy clothes.

Louis Armstrong’s Band
Plays Tonight At Armory
Louis Armstrong, “trumpet King
>f Swing”, who brings his orches
;ra to the Cape Fear Armory on
Market street tonight, personally
promises that his band won’t blow
ihe customers over. Unlike other
:olored bands, and although the
Armstrong band plays the proper
proportion of swing, it plays that
swing with beauty insteady of
blare, and it features more sweet
music than the average hand.
Not only that, but Armstrong’s
is one of the few top-notch big
modern bands which makes a fea
ture of comedy, and not the least
of that comedy, of course, is Louis
Armstrong himself, featured as
trumpeter, orchestra leader and i
comedian in no less than two musi
cal comedies and nine motion pic
tures, an all-time record for band
leaders.
