Curiosity seems a predominant trait in
zuni character. When we had reached
the housetops with our Photographic
instruments there gathered about us on
the walls of adjoining pueblos scores Of
boys and girls, laughing and chatteling
at a great rate, Further of, in little
groups, stood the men Of the pueblo.
staring at us with sour looking yisages
and evidently not at all pleased at what
we were doing, Big Dan was with us
and kept talking to them inoessantly IN
their own tongue, telling them that after
we had finished taking photographs We
would open big trade with them aud
purchase all the pottery and trinkets
they had for sale, If the price was right.

Dressmaking can no longer be regarded
as distincively woman's trade. At a
low estimate there are five thousand men
dressmakers in this town today. The
swell establishments ia Fifth avenue
have host Of imitators all over town.
One shop in Orchard street is run by a
man. The proprietor keeps two or three
figures in the window dressed in the
latest styles, and one cannot help ad-
miring the way these dresses are made.
There is not the slightest trace of shop
work about them, The basques have
evidently been cut after the French chart
system, and the most ingenious woman
could not arrange the draperies more
artistically.
More men than women are employed
at this place. There is another estab-
lishment on Clinton street neai. Grand
which employs fully as many men as
women. They can BE- seen working side
by side from the street. Some stylish
garments are made there As rule men
dressmakers are more thorough and art
istic than their fenale competitors. They
are also much more expensive. This diff
ference is especially true of East Side
dressmalrers. Over there the women
take up dressmaking as a temporary
means of support or until they marry.
Among East Side. an old maid is an
unusual thing. -Nev York Press.
