Ripping Up a Garment Is q Task RequIr-
Ing Some Skill.

Ripping Up q Garment IL Task E2equlE-
Ing some skill.
There Is a general impression that 10
is an easy enough matter to rip up a
garment. Almost anybody can do il,
and it is an undertaking that requires
no special skill or care. Acting on this
ieda, clothing is pulled, torn, cut with
knives, shipped with scissors and, final
ly, taken to pieces after this unprOfta-
bic fashion, and the operator comes and
declares that everything is ready. A
dyer who handles a large quantity of
black goods says that he long ago gave
up expecting anybody to rip garment
up as it should be done If the seams
are ripped, they are fun of threads;
sometimes there are buttons on; hooks
and eyes are not uncommon; the fronts
of them are stuck full of pins Of various
sorts. and Innings. faeings, braids and
the like remain, in whole or in pieces,
Just as the individual who had charge of
the disintegrating process happens to
leave them.
To rip up a garment properly there
should be no pulling, tearing or drag
cling apart IF one cannot take the end
Of the thread and pun it out the
stitches should be cut with a sharp
knife. Very few persons can rip gar
ment with scissors without doing it
great harm; indeed, many find it inn
possible to cut stitches with anything
without making holes that render the
goods absolutely worthless for the one
who originally wore it. When it is done
the edges are so ragged that a much
smaller pattern must be used. In pre-
pairing goods for the dyer OF to be made
over, every stitch should be taken out.
It seems scarcely necessary to say that
fasteningA braid and hooks and eyes
must be removed, but this is imperative,
in view Of the condition in which the
garments come to the dressmalcer and
the dyer. Many dresses, capes and jack
cts are perfectly weara-ble after being
carefully ripper, brushed, sponged and
pressed. Tt is a wonder that some one
does not set up an establishments for rip
ping clothes and putting them in order
for the dressmaker- The owner of them
frequently has not time to do them
properly, or is too careless and under
stands too little the requirements of
them to do it. had she all the time in the
world. Some semi-invalid in every com
munity might get a tolerable living, or
at least add to a limited income, by pre-
pairing garments for remodeling.-S

year ago when it advanced Sc. After

the strength was at the start. the kan
sas crop report showing a condition
80 per cent less than a month ago. This
made a higher opening which attracted
some short selling and realizing but
the leading local bulls instead OF sell
ing bought more and at the close shorts
and bulls brought about a quick rally.
Sales of flour reported extremely large.
Argentine shipments very light. For
eign markets inclined to follow US up

Chicago June Gully wheat opened
this morning at eO1k@56c, an advance Of

Kansas crop report, which was much
worse than expected. Light Argentine
shipments were also a factor At the
advance however, there was profit taxi

short selling by traders who considered
the recent advance too rapid, under
which July eased off to 605zc.
Corn rather weak, being but little in
