odds and ends upon the bargain counters
with an eye to making them up into the
many fancy bodies of which brides-Who
must be continually dressed up-are al
ways In need. A lovely little waist that
has just been completed by a West Phil
adelphia girl who is making her own trous-
seau is of nickel colored and white silk,
the groundwork being in white and the
figures in nickel. There is curious ar
rangement of belt, which consists of
double fold of white satin, carried around
the waist and up over the bust, where
IL disappears under ruffle. The yoke is
of white satin cut square. Around the
yoke is a very wide heading, which Is
lightly wired to form a ruche across the
front. The same style of waist is very eff
fective carried out with two kinds of
cloth. And for this two old gowns can
nicely be brought into play.
A 16-year-old girl in San Francisco, says
the New York Sun, has hit on a novel way
Of earning her living. She has gone into
the butcher business and is making a great
success of it. Her name is Lille Kanitz,
and her customers say that it is a real
pleasure to have steak or roast cut off
and served by a brown-eyed slip of a girl
in spotless print gown and apron in
stead of a man in a spotted jacket and
apron.
Miss Kanitz's father, Otto Kanitz, con-
ducts the Log Cabin market in San Fran
cisco. She is a full partner in the busl-
ness, and her fathers only assistant The
father, according to the San Francisco
Call is as proud of his daughter as posi-
bic. The girl has so mastered the trade
that when her father is away she is left
in charge of the shop. She runs it like
veteran, too filling orders from a quarter
Of beef TO a tidbit for somebody's pet dog.
girl butcher might not be expected to
be attractive in person and manner. This
one is. She Is said to be straight and
1.-the and active, and the arm that wieds
the cleaver instead of a golf club or ten
mis- racquet is prettily rounded with SUI
pie little wrist and tapering fingers. Miss
hanitZ has rosy cheeks, brown eyes and
hair, and dresses becomingly. She has a
gentle manner, and, while business life has
made her alert and keen, it has not taken
away her girlish modesty and simplicity
Her parents are industrious Germans
who, by years of steady labor and frugal
ity have acquired considerable property
The girl butcher and her mother own city
real estate valued at several thousand dol
lars This was decided TO them by Mr..
Kanitz, but the possession of it has not
been check to the daughters ambition
TO earn money for herself. She keeps the
books of the firm, makes out, collects
and pays all bills, and delivers orders to
customers in their own homes. Early any
morning she is to be seen with her horse
and cart whisking briskly from street to
street.
Miss Kanitz was graduated at one of the
grammar schools two years ago, and is a
fine housekeeper. She bought and has paid
for out of her own earnings a piano. The
first payment she made on 1t was $780,
which she had saved out Of commissions
allowed by her father as a bill collector.
Mr.. Kanitz expects to go to Dawson City
next spring leaving his daughter to carry
on their joint business
