Special Letter 10 the Globe.


New YORK. Oct. 31.-NOt so very long
ago-that is not as long ago as to begin
'once upon a time" but in ages not
quite prehlstOric-a barber meant man
and miliner meant a woman. and the
only profession of which the sex was at
all doubtful was that of the curate.
Sidney Smith said there were three
seXes-men. women and curates, and
the poor darling with his tea, music,
and embroidered slippers is still lady
like creature of the tame cat species.
Mrs. Humphrey Ward and Margaret
Deland have created something manly
in this line. but the Robert ElShereS
and John Wards are not plentiful in
real life. But pntting the doubtful sex
of the curate aside. there is difficulty
now in determining the sex of many
professions. The tables are being
turned everywhere-the men are grasp
ing the needle land by the right end, toO)
and the women are welding the razor
without cutting their victims noses off.
The men dressmakers began at the
tailOr-made gown, got well satisfied
with their results, experimental little
with ribbon and lace, and finally
plunged into a crowd of various fabrics,
turned a few summersaults and came
down triumphant on their feet. The
lady dTeSSmakerS first laughed, then
trembled, and then resigned themselves
to fate. Fate decreed that the muscu-
lar, brawny hand of man should achieve
better results from the finery and fall
lals of dress goods than the delicate,
blue-veined hand of woman can posi-
bly, accomplish. Worth is a name which
is to dress creators what MillaiS is to
painters-what Tennyson is to verse
makers. There are myriads of little
WorthS turning out hosts of little
WOrthisms. Some of these small trI-
umphs are beating the work which
comes from the great masters hand.
