smoking jackets are fashioned from the
same material.
Garden hats. sunbonnets and 1ittio
shoulder capes, both for Children and
thelr elders are being shipped to the coun-
Try IN large quantities. and they are as
pretty as heart could desire. Paper eur
tains are gathered to paper crowns, paper
tiestrings are added, and the trimming
consists of paper bows and flowers. The
hats are all of the wide brlmmed shady
variety, and are attractive looking, hang
ing In the han of a summer cottage. to
say nothing of when donned by a pretty
girl. This fad grew out of the hat worn
by society leader at a fancy ball last
winter, and bids fair to spread far and
wide. They are easily made. requiring
merely milliners frame. a roll of paper,
and little ingenuity, and they are not
costly to buy ready made.
The making of paper articles gives en-
ployment to quite large number OF peo-
pic in Chicago. In one of the city firms
one woman is kept busy designing, while
another is employed as dresser for the
store windows, and to attend TO the deco
ration of houses for festivities, which is
one of the most lucrative branches of the
business, and a third sees that the ideas
of the first are carried out.
What can we make of paper?" said The
foreman in response to question; what
cannot we make rather. No matter what
you would bring me l would duplicate It,
If 1t were not made of cast iron or steel,
and perhaps even then in some cases. We
have everything in stock from aprons,
neckties and shirt fronts for german fav-
ors to flowers and birds. Here" showing
cross of white paper decorated with
lilies of the valley, which opened to dis
close a receptacle for Jewels, lis one of
our Easter novelties and here" drawing a
wicked looking Brownie from its case, lis
a trifie which was popular at Christmas.
This little red devil with a case for
matches on his back is popular with col

holding a passion flower we sell by the
dozen for gifts to pastors and to hold open
the pages of religious books"
Another Easter article was a chicken
perfectly made and finished, eggs of pa
per were plentiful and egg-shapcd boxes
opening TO show Jewel cases or thimbles
were wonderfully pretty. Flowers of all
kinds can be copied I'm paper, from tiger
lilies to dainty violets and fiaring hol-
lyhocks. Easter or Burmuda lilies are
no easier to fashion than roses; lovely
purple iris or ieur de lis may be seen on
one hand, ivy on the other. All these
flowers, together with countless others,
are as natural as life, and plenty of the
orange blossoms seen at cheap weddings
are made of paper.
"Oh, we often furnish flowers for we'd

poor families and to help out the cut
flowers with rich people. / expect to
hear a protest from some Of the florists
every day, unless they learn the
trick themselves. In some cases we have
made the flowers for funerals, but rarely,
as flowers suitable for these occasions
are cheaper bought natural. But for
luncheons, dinners, teas, etc, we have
furnished everything from the tablecloths
and doilIes to the plates and ice cream
molds and burnt almond trays"
More than one evening frock has been
constructed from this fragile material.
society youth well known in Chicago
ordered and wore a paper dress suit last
winter to satisfy a wager, and patamas
have been made OF paper as often as
door and window curtains. The kite In
dustry is a lasting and permanent one,
and, in fact, there are few things which
cannot be, have not been or will not yet
be made of paper, and the cost of the ar
ticles is as susceptible Of as great varie-
ty as the paper itself.
