The Chain Stitch LoOper!

BY simply dropping this little ''Looper"
into the shuttle carrier you instantly
obtain the Chain, stitch.
Thus, on the same machine you have both
the Lock-stitch and the Chain-stitch.
The use of the Looper does not in any,
wise interfere with the operation of
the Shuttle when required.
This is an immense advantage as all will
at once recognize. 1t is rightly
called Wonder"
Change the Shuttle and you change the

FATE OF MRS. ASTOR'S GOWNS.
Tho Blue One to Adorn Jennie Joyce-The
Green to shine on Thrill Avenue.

An eager multitude, made up mostly of
actresses and dressnakers, gazed admirlng-
lv and perspiringly at two handsome silk
dresses on TOP of O red -bordered platform
in Sllo's auctlon-rooms, at 43 Liberty street,
on Tuesday afternoon. says the New 1orK
Sun. The dresses were sent here by fellx
of Paris to Mrs. William Aston. She had
bouoht them to be delivered in New York,
dutv paid. and she refused to pay the fine
for differentiation. Felix had invoiced
them at about $500. or less than third OF
what Uncle Sans appraisers SAID they
we're worth.
Auctioneer J. Thomas Stearns expatiated
on the loneliness of the dresses. One is
pale blue ball costume, embroidered with
PINK and cut very low, with deml-train.
The other is of light green, with Dark
Green velvet panels. The auctioneer said
he would sell the apple-green dress first.
Somebody wanted to know which dress
that was. and the auctioneer blushed and
said he couldn't tell. As ne was color bilnd.
A postman came in. aud the auctloreer
looked at him and asked
"Will Mr. Wanamaker start 1t! No!
Well. he wouldn't know what to do with

An actress offered that and the bidding
went on skippingly. The fight for posses
sion of the dress narrowed down to John
Roster, of Roster x Bal, who wanted 1t
| for Jennie Joyce, and one of the Bloom
! inedale Brothers. who wanted it for the
