All machine stitching should be done with
SILK, as it makes n thinner scam, looks
better and is stronger than cotton. Tho
difference in expense is so slight us to be
not worth considering.
Whero two bias breadths are to form q
seam they should bo first laid smoothly
together and bastctl without stretching,
and afterward n thin strip OF straight mus
lin should DO bastcd down the seam and
included in tho stitching when the seam is
sewed. This keeps it from pulling out Of
shape.

They DO Not Mind tho Pennies

Experience has mado the men of tho
fruit stands overcautious in handling
coin above tho size of IL 10 cent piece.
The larger pieces they will test upon the
pavement or sink their teeth into in 4!
tentative fashion. 1t is to be noted,
however, that whenever customer
makes penny purchase they pocket his
change without scanning it-almost
hastily indeed. There is deep reason in
this procedure.
For ono thing, nobody counterfeits
the cent piece; it is too cheap. For an
other thing, the fruit dealer knows that
no coin of smaller denomination is pass
ing into his hands. FoS third thing,
and this is the most important, there is
always chance that the customer is
deceived himself and is handing over n
nickel, Il dime or ono of the minor gold
pieces, under tho impression that he is
paying but n penny. If he looks satisfied
and starts to go away, he. is not likely
to be called back to get the change. Oc-
casionally some such involuntary wind
fall comes the way of tho fruit man.

He Mado Tired.
Now and then Chicago draws chap
pie i'll the great shuttle of life. The other
day one arrived hero from an inland
town who had few points to spare in
his trunk.
He took up his residence in an aristo-
cratic family hotel, where he appeared
religiously each night Mt a O'Clock

class swell. This was all very commend
able and clearly, and not ut all extraor-
binary where so per cent of tho men
did the same thing.
But the good impression awakened by

anco i'll the incffablo bosom and tie was
obscured by his attempt to order his
dinner i'll as much French as he deem
ed would lie Ineligible. The seniority
of his final order for demitasse
was good for all the surrounding tables,
If not for the buffers pantry.
AS tho first week rolled OH the young
man grew moro Frenchy, moro mellow,
more metropolitan i'll spirit, and on tho
occasion of his first evening ut home
made his way to the smoking room,
where he arranged himself dangerously
and picturesqucly i'll an easy chair.
Near him was the station of Il small
colored buttons.
"Garcon! Garconr' called out the
oriental one, but little William stood,
with his heavy, scallike eyes rolled up

DRESSMAkING HINTS.

Trines Which Injure Perfect Fit-Blaok
and Rose Costume.
Few persons who have had no practical
experience in dressmaking realize on how
many minute trifles tho fit and elegance of
gown depend. 1t Is not enough to insure
the success of q costume that the goods arc
of superior quality and fashionable in color
and style and that the cut is perfect. Even
with these excellent qualifications the re-
suit may be unsatisfactory if an unskillful
hand has in charge tho putting together of
the gown. A little fullncss here, little
scantiness there, irregular seams, unscien-
tiflo basting. bones badly placed and a
lack of proper attention to pressing may
achieve failure in spite of all tho cutter
can do.
Tho seams ought always to be pressed

tened, they give lumpy look to tho right
side of the garment when it is being worn.
