! Miss Bigelow the filter. Miss Flandrau,
| as Miss Atkinson, who had come to be
j fitted, waited i'll patience until she had
learned two French verbs and written

not wait any longer, then Miss Sturgis

! Miss SturgiS ordered dress goods from

it right away and Miss Sturgis agreed
to give her first fitting ''three weeks

things Immediately became ''beastly

know what she wanted of a st. Paul
dressmaker. when she is just back from
Europe with all her French gowns, Miss
Newport said: Jaw, but you know
didn't come prepared as flower, and
there's the German, don't you know

called out to Miss Bigelow to learn
when she could fit Miss Back-from-
Europe for four-leaf clover. This
brought the house down, as Mrs. Grundy
afterwards told Grundy, who chuckled
himself Oh hearing it, and said he
wished he could have been there. The

commanding Miss Bigelow to ''get that
dress off to Minneapolis tonight if you
| have to stay here and sew until all

the stage in attitude Of depression, while
from behind the scenes Miss Sturgis
pictured in verse the unhappy lot of the

Following ''sew" came the "sigh,"
which Misses Newport. Sturgis, Bige-
low, Flandrau and Katherine Dean
as girls at the close of leap year

announced by MIR. Glenn, who read a
card stating that Miss Fashionable

Auerbach receiving guests, while Miss
Bigelow poured tea, and with Miss
Newport, Miss Flandrau and Miss Dean
for callers, they managed to give such a
