cAsI.oEE DRESSES.


In a recent number of Hdrper's
Weekly, Julian Ralph wrote very en-
tertainingiy of certain curious voca-
tons to which men devote themselves
in New York city. Among those he
noted the business of buying the dresses
of fashionable women-an industry
very much superior to that of buying
old clothes merely. 1t is quite large
and remunerative trade.
A few years ago. SAYS the Pittsburg
Dispatch, lady of this city-the wife
of well-known Pittsburger-went to
New York. Her errand was partly
business. Partly pleasure. To the
former purpose she carried no less than
a dozen trunks, packed with dresses
though many of them had not been
worn more than once or twice. She
had fondness for costly dresses and
was devoted to fashion. Arrived in
New York she went to the Fifth Ave
nue. hotel. the trunks following her
there.
The next day. as che of the urbane
clerks was allowing the public an en-
trancing view of his figure and dia-
monds, there passed through the lobby
of the hotel small man with Hebraic
features and an immense bundle. The
clerk did not like the look of the old
man staggering under load of some
thing wrapped in an oil-skin. He sent
one of the strapping Irish porters after
the old man to bring him back. When
the old man approached the desk the
clerk asked him what he had in the
bundle.
cold clothes, sir" was the reply.
"Where did you get them from9"
''From the lady in room no."
That's 'Mrs.-of Pittsburg, one of
our wealthiest guests -impossiblern said
the clerk sternly, and he sent up a bell
boy to room 10 to ask the lady there
if She had been disposing of any cloth
ing. The bell-boy returned in few
minutes with the answer that the lady
in 40 did not know what the clerk
meant and had not been disposing of
anything to anybody.
Exactly what thought" said the
clerk, putting his soft hands together.
and then, addressing the old man with
the bundle, he said: Il shall have to
turn you over to the police"
The old man was highly excited by
this time. He took out a big wallet
and drew from it letter which he
handed to the clerk. The latter took it
and found it to be a note addressed by
the lady occupying room 10 to Mr.. =,
dealer in ladies' and gentlemen's cloth
ing. ETC., asking him to call upon her
at the hotel. This complicated mat
tiers, and the clerk with the note went
to hin,Snlf NfrS :
almost in tears when she confessed that
she had sold quantity of dresses to
the merchant in question. 1t was a de-
cidedly unpleasant situation all around.
The clerk had to apologize to the lady
in ITO and TO the old-clothes merchant.
The former was sulky and the latter
threatened TO sue the hotel.
The story got out, and Mrs. - OF
this city, has never taken her cast-oil
dresses to New York since then.
