4 Hint in Millinery.

YES, but very few women could make
some Of the bonnets | saw yesterday, and yet
they were not made in millinery shops.
suppose" continued the salesman, that in
almost every millinery shop in this city there
is at least one girl, and in some cases several
girls, who spend their evenings trimming
hats and bonrets for their own personal Gus
toners.
LET me give you case in hand. My wife
wanted an Easter bonnet. She wanted it to
be fashionable, but not expensive. She had
heard from friend of a young woman who
was one of the head trimmers ina Fifth av-
enue shop. She went to her and asked her to
make the bonnet, and this is what it cost:
THE frame was made by the girl. My
wife bought 50 worth of lace, tulle and those
fashionable green grasses My wii2 already
had a remnant of green velvet, and gave
these articles to the milliner, who charged
$3.50 for the frame and her labor. The bon
net is a beauty, and would have cost from
$40 to SIS in any. of the fashionable stores.
Not only do milliners do this sort of out
side work, but dreSsmakers as well. Hardly
a day passes but thaS some dressmaker's APP
prentice comes into this store and buys some
article to be fashioned for some private GUS
toner. This adds greatly to their incomes,
that are seldom extravagant, and gives them
admirable practice, but don't believe their
employers would approve Of the custom. ~

if you notice it you will see that everybody

Once In a while, however, something really
good follows this same old joke and atones to
the long suffering Smith for the complacency
with which good breeding forces him to smile
for the thouSandth time at the remark.

was one of comparative freedom from cough

with an unvarying relief of all her previous
distressing symptoms and an almost perfect
freedom from cough for several hours after
each draught of the hot buttermilk.
