From this it can readily be seen what a power
they are In the land. They are not in any
sense the lourneymen of the business. They
are the architects. the designers and the artists
OF the profession and good cutter can do
more to build up a tailor's business than a
dozen windows full of attractive stripes
and plads. As result of this they are a
mighty paid set Of men. and when one of them
gets to the top of the ladder in his line of work
he names his own figure and is pretty likely
to get II. too. In an association like the ore
mat met this afternoon II would be difficult
matter to discriminate, and the presumption is
that they have all found standing room together
on the top round Of the ladder.

WHERE THE SESSIONS WILL BE HELD
The sessions of the convention are held in
the tea room Of Wizards. Around the room
this afternoon was ranged row Of chairs for
the accommodation OF the members and down
the center ran line Of tables
which are to be used for the
display Of made-up garments The
program stated that the convention would be
called to order promptly at o'clock.
This was a decided mistake. for it was
long past that hour before there was an
attendance sufficiently large to justify tho
opening Of the meeting. There will be a ses-
sion this evening. which promises to be very
interesting, as 1t will be devoted TO discussion
OF practical work.
