stThat depends on the natural gifts OF
the pupil. Nobody can learn It Ia much
less than three months, however, and
neither Of the tailor colleges will give less
than a quarters tuition. The pupil -
first taught 10 draft out patterns Tor
clothes with chalk and q wooden measure
from the measurement memoranda given
by the professor. When be has got 50
that these patterns VIII produce a gar

errors the errors are corrected by the pro-
fessor, and he tries again, until IN q few

that he IS gifted with the natural genius
that can alone produce q perfect ~, he IS
able to claim his diploma aud start out

Ready made clothes are always mnde
on even figure maasurements-that Is TO
say, a coat is 80 OF SO or 40, or some even
figure in chest measurement, and the
waist measurements OF the trousers ars
arranged on the same scale. II doesn's
pay to have odd figures, because the de-
mand for them IS comparatively inconsid
cradle. IL you should put On q ready
made garment and find that IL was Just q
tribe too large or too small around the
chest or waist you would find that the
garment had been made SO that the altef
alton could be quickly made for y0m.
Grading Is simply making an allowances
for alteration. It's a clever trade lxnRck
and invaluable Ia the great ready made
clothing establishments. y
saThere Is a common belief that there IS
a secret trick OF the trade in cutting tor
custom trade. Have you any objection 70
giving that secret away?p
mot in the least, + Cutter Drury re-
piled, with a laugh. s"The SO called trick
Of the trade Is merely the knaek Of saving
material by arranging the pattern on the
cloth 50 that tine least possible quantity Of
the material win be used ia making the
garment. This is something by which
the customer loses nothing, and the tailor
saves d good deal ~ simply proves the
superior art OF the cutter. An unsklllfaf
tailor, for example, win waste q good deal
OF cloth by the clumsy arrangement "a
the pattern. On the other hand, q inan
who knows his business thoroughly can
crowd the pattern, as we saY In techns
cal lingo, into small space, and TINS saNa
unnecessary waste without marripg the
garment on producing a misht. That's
all the secret there is to ii. II isn't much.
