How a Large Firm Is Managed.

One OF the largest dress making es-
tablishments in New Y ork is kept by |
seven brothers, six of whom attend to |
the details of the business in that place, |
while one travels from capital to capl- |
tai throughout Europe, combining and
changing the fashion of each to suit
the taste of the American public. In
this house the preliminary measure
ments are made by lady, but the cut
ting andlbasting are done by men. A
model is made of the first pattern for
every new customer, and these models
are carefully kept from year to year,
The skirt cutter is man so, too, are
the sleeve cutters and the button-hole
makers, but the --draping is superin-
tended by lady, who has that and
nothing else to attend to. No dress
leaves the establishment until it has
been submitted to the approval of one
the members of the firm, and after
that has been given it is inspected in
detail by lady who is responsible for
its delivery to the customer.
A visit to such an establishment
gives an idea of the attention bestow-
ed upon dressmaking when it becomes
an art. Every detail is studied and
every stitch might be examined by
microscope. Very little machine work
is tolerated, except for the stitching If
cloth or heavy velvet. Everything is
done by hand, land it.often takes one
girl an entire week to complete the
shirring for one puff upon an elaborate
skirt. Y This statement of itself is some
clue to the exorbitant prices asked by
fashionable dressmakers, whose repu-
tation!is maintained blythe quality of
the work they send out. The wages
paid by them, too, ave heavier than
would be imagined. A fine sewing
girl receives eighteen dollars week,
while cutters, filters and drapers can
command from twenty-five to torty-fve
dollars. Superintendents and over
seers receive higher remuneration, and
hands who can be relied upon to do
NIGEL. work in such an establishment
can readily earn thirty dollars a week;
The employees are all of a highly
respectable class and they are treated
with the greatest courtesy. A dinner
i served at noon every day for the
l,ading operatives, and.all overwork is
IL ndsomely paid for The regular
no urs for work are from eight to five
Re alizing the expenses attending such
an establishment, it is possible to hear
the prices charged without shock
Uno er the circumstances it does not
seen out of the way to be told that
the lowest rate for making is. s.forty-five
dollars, exclusive of Innings, and for
an evening dress, when the materials
are supplied, three hundred and twenty
dollars is the leasti that can be consid-
cred. and that is for a very simple
dress. A dinner or ball dress may
cost anything from four hundred to
four Thousand dollars.

Interesting Information,

During the late election III Great Brit
ain great deal was said about Catholic
intolerance. which in fact played an I'M
portant part in the election, and served
to defeat hemc rule. a few facts which
tend to throw some light on the subject
may be appreciated by all, The Irish
people, far from being riotous and disor
derly, have been the most patient and
long suffering people on the face OF the
globe Facts which have never been de-
MED, and cannot be disputed, show that
the Irish people have suffered indignitles
and crimes which have no equal in the
annals of history. A civilized people
have been compelled TO submit to oppres-
sion by another civilized people. which is
not only disgrace to England, but to the
entire world. A people who have year
after year suppressed the bitter feelings
which could not but arise hoped for and
peaccably sought redress from their op-
pressors, and only turned when trodden
into the earth, cannot be held as riotous
and dlsorderly. A great cry was raised
that Protestant Ulster would be at the
mercy Of Irish Intolerance in case Ireland
was granted home rule. 1t was made tc
do its work, though none seemed to con
slder that the Ir,sh people had suffered
by English intolerance year after year
