One Way of Buying Gowns,

There are ways and ways OF having fine
dresses. An easy and economical way Is
to have them made for some one else.
who is exactly your size, and then pay
half the original price asked for them
This is not always as difficult as il
sounds. A certain young woman in town
whose income is not of Mdas-like pro-
portions owes her handsomest costumes
to this very simple way of buying frocks
1t happened this wise: She was trying
on a gown al one of the big establish
ments, when the forewoman said: 1--WE
have little frock that would just fit you.
Miss Blank. 1t was made for Miss A.
but she has decided that 1t is not be-
coming and refuses TO take It, We do
not care to insist upon her doing so. as
she is a very profitable customer But
the gown is on our hands, and If it fits
you l think you could have it for a
very modest figure"
The gown was brought out and Miss
Blank fitted it on. 1t was a poem in
gray and pink, exquisitely made, and
wonder of wonders, almost a perfect fit
This was all the more remarkable, as
Miss Blank is short and plump and can
never by any chance find a ready-made
frock TO fit her. The price of the gown
was S175, but it was sold for $50 A few
months later the erratic Miss A. declared
herself dissatisfied with tailor costume
of green cloth, beautifully braided and
edged with fur The tailor politely
threatened to sue his troublesome Gus
TONER but after little investigation
thought better of it. A note was sent to
Miss Blank. whose modest yearly ac-
count on the tai1or's books amounted to
about one-fifth of Miss A. expenditures.
Miss Blank came saw the costume, ad-
mitted that a $22o dress at S150 was a
| great bargain, but sadly said she could
| not afford to indulge in such luxury.
Owing. to it's diminutive proportions,
| there was not the slightest possibility of
| the dress being sold to any one else, so
| the tailor tearfully parted with it for
! 500. much to the joy of Miss Blank. The
| following spring Miss A. and ball dress
! threatened TO land the tailor in an in
| sane asylum, but Miss Blank came to the
rescue, and secured dream Of moonlight
| satin and sequins for a song" The Gu
rious commerce is still going on, and the
only thing that embitters the pleasure
! that Miss Blanks beautiful frocks give
her is the awful thought that Miss A.
may one day grow stout or thin. or.
worse STILL become less captious, and
wear her frocks, whether they suit her
or not.-Commercial Advertiser.

THE BRIDE-ELECT.
She Seldom Looks So Unnttractive
as at Her Wedding.

They are soon to enjoy honeymoon
and the groom-to-be is cudgeiing his
brains over the woe-begone appearance
Of his prospective bride.
''She is going off in her looks fear
fully" whisper the prospective maids in
waiting There is a great deal of talk
about beef tea and exercise and tonics of
all sorts every time the bride-elect is
mentioned.

Clothes to be sure. Here is another
young woman who is making a bugaboo
of her wedding finery.
If she had only refused to yield to the
foolishness of custom and never entered
that fairyland of frills where girls to be
married wander until Ifain and body
are exhausted she might find some pleas
ure in living.
AS it is, she confidently admits if the
marriage does not take place pretty soon
there will be no bride. Dead tired is
the way she puts 1t.
A poor worried man wonders why
his dear one is so listless, so wan, so
indifferent to people and affairs. The
more he cogitates the more mysterious
grows the situation. Sometimes he ar

times he could swear she is ready to
throw him over.
And all because one woman follows
the lead of all other women. and will
have a trousseau, If she dies in the at
tempt.
When outside people can be paid to
put in the fine stitches: when there is no
need to scrimp to get together the finest
of lingerie and the rarest gowns. then q
woman may be excused for making big
fuss over her weddingry.
When she is the sacrifice to be offered
on the altar of vanity. matters should be
managed with more prudence.
