Mrs. vanderbilt's Dummy .

A New York letter relates how
Mrs. Vanderbilt is able to see herself
in ene respect, at least, as others see
her. I came across q Vanderbilt privi-
lege of wealth Unexpectedly in the
establishment of tailor for women.
A girl stood in the centre of q work
room while male expert fitted q gar
ment to her upper figure. "That is
Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt" said
one. Nonsense" I calculated. "Will
lie vanderbilt's wife hasn't red hair,
nor face at all like that" "What |
mean, was the explanation, ''is that
the girl is posing as Mrs. Vanderbilt.
The two are exactly the same size and
shape. This one is hired to serve in
the place of the millionairess in the
laborious matter of having costumes
fitted. The garment now being taken
in, let out and generally adapted is for
Mrs. Vanderbilt, who is at her ease in
Newport, while the double endures the
hour or two of tiresome standing.
Mechanical forms are common for that
purpose, and most of our rich custom :
ers keep them with US, which can
change position, walk about, sit down,
and in the other ways demonstrate
perfectly the effect of the raiment
under process of making. Mrs. Van
derbilt will not endure the fatigue of
the thing herself, even when in town,
and it was her own suggestion that
duplicate of herself be employed. On
her order sought and found perfect
counterpart-a girl who was working
in cloak shop connected with Our
business; and she has served in lieu of
Mrs. Vanderbilt fonAnearly o J ear Not
only in dimensions is she suited to the
requirements, but in movements and
carriage she is wonderfully like her
employer; and SO it is possible for the
latter to see herself as others see her
in the matter of dress"

Luck and Labor.

If the boy who exclaimes "just my
luckl'' was truthful, he would say
'iust my laziness!" or 'just my mat
tention.' Mr. Golden wrote proverbs
about Luck and Labor. 1t would be
well for boys to memorise them:
Luck is waiting for something to
turn up.
Labor, with keen eyes and strong
viii, viii turn up something.
Luck lies in bed and wishes the post
man would come and bring him the
news of q legacy.
Labor turns out at six o. clock, and
with busy pen or ringing hammer
lays the foundation for competence.
Luck whines.
Labor whistles.
Luck relies on chance.
Labor on character.
Luck slips down to indigence.
Labor strides up to independence.
