A MOOiSTE'S CHAT.
She Tells How Her Trade Is Learned and
What Wages II Commands.


"a assure you no M learns 'dress.
making for fun. Sometimes ladie.
learn it in order to understand better
the fitting of their W gowns, but one
usually learns because she expects to
make a living by the trade"
The speaker was Il fashionable up
town modiste. aud she was telling a
reporter somc of the secrets of her pro-
fessiou. About the room were seated
a number of quiet. Heat-looking girls,
all sewing.
''Are there any schools where dress
making is taught?' was asked.
II never heard Of any. When a girl
desires to learn the business, she usu.
ally goes rs an apprentice, as at any
other trade"
How long does it take to learn the
tradeP'
That greatly depends upon the
student. Usually a girl should master
the trade in II season. A good dress.
maker should have a quick eye for
form and color. She should be m
thing of an artist IN addition to having
mere mechanical skill. Most women
know something about sewing, and
have little difficulty, but when it comes
to fitting trimming and fin ishing
dresses, where real taste and judgment
are required. the novice is almost help
less
"What can a dressmaker earn after
she has learned the tradeP'
at all depends upon her skill and
ability. II she is smart she can get
$3.50 a day, but she may not get more
than 81. 80. That is after she has taken
lessons for one season. Forewomen
who superintend the work arr about
s25 a week. They are women Of long
experience in the trade. So far as
dressmaking at home IL concerned, the
paper patterns have simplified matters
n great deal. Mail dressmakcrs earn
from IS to IS a week more than women
at the same business. Men are better
than women at making waists, which
arc in some particulars like the coat
you wear, but I never saw a man who
could drapc a skirt properly."-M +
