mikes itself up with the dressfnaker's or enge
tree. The dressmaker sat upon the orange
tree in the back parlor window as she
smOothed the long folds Of plaIded cheviot,
yellowish brown upon creamy scru. She
held out the skirt for me 70 look ct, straight
and plain; thea sae lifted the long jacket,
slashed in the back and open in front, with q
rolling collar edged with black ostrich trim
ming over a royal blue cloth vest coming TO
the hips and fastened at the waist with
three big buttons She picFed absent
mindedly at the sleeves with their blue cuffs
and deep chiffon frills, aud twirled the little
yellowish brown straw bat about upon the
tip OF her left forehnger TO show me its
puffy Henry VIII. crown of blue cloth and
its black ostrich aigrette.
Then she said she never did any dress
making for a bride except under that
orange tree. It used TO belong to girl, the
daughter of friend, whose lover gave it to
her on the day they discussed the date Of
their wedding. They quarreled and be went
off, but she kept the little orange bush,
which was very sulky little bush and
wouidn't grow, but turned yellow and died
down to its roots and stayed dead, or next
to dead. for months, though the girl tended
it every day. BY and by it got over It's dis
appointments and concluded that life
was worth living, but the gIrl didn't
get over hers. She died, and the
bush turned yellow and acted Just as II did
upon the first occasion; the girls people
threw 1t away. but the dressmaker rescued
it from the ash heap and nursed it and built
all the romance her life had In il about it,
for it grew into a tall greea tree that touched
the ceiling but never blOssomed. The dress
makers sewing chair was in the other win
dow for the light, but when she worked for
bride she put her basket Of spools in the
tub under the tree and fairly sat among the
branches.
Lsst night, says Ruth Trevelyn in the
Brooklyn Times. was reading Mrs. Hum

for doctoring inherent in all good women,
Mrs. Ward is right. lt is a weakness which

The friend, VINO had been a most inter-

"Dr. NJ, our physician. told me an
anecdote about himself, which shows how
among men as well as women. Last year
about this time DR.. M went to Florida
for a rest. AS he had only a week to him
self aud did not want to be bothered with
patients, he registered at the hotel as plain
Mr.. M. He had delightful time and
made several pleasant acquaintance.
Among them was a handsome youug fellow
very rich-who had been sent there for
his health. The doctor knew in an instant
that there was little hope for him. One day
just before be left the two were out driving

A London photographer, says the New
York Press, has conceived an iden which
as already made him fame, and deserves to
make his fortune. He noticed that when he
had lady sittee with lovely graceful feet,
she was always at least willing to let them
appear In the picture, but that when the
boots were oversize that she took care to
keep them under the edge of her gown. So
this man Of genius caused to be constructed
a pair of artificial feet of dainty proper
tions and had them dressed in the newest
and most approved bottines. These he ex-
posed In MS ateIer anu explained Co WIS.,
itors. After awhile he delicateiy suggested
to lady whose feet were uncom-
promising that she permit these to
enter into the picture, aud, deftly hooking
the false feet to the hem Of her gown, made
a charming full length photograph. His
success has dated from that day. London
women don't mind availin9 themselves OF
the artificial beauty any more than Of pow
der or any other toilet aid. Apropos of sue
cessful photographs. there is very simple
way Of preventing the depressed, disconso-
late look that ones face is apt to assume in
the forced reposed Of a sitting. 1t is to drink
just thimblefol of sherry in the dressing
room. 1t will put into your face the tiny
touch OF life and animation that adds so
much to the beauty of likeness. and which
is SO apt to degenerate into gum when as
sumed to order.
