Then she laughed.

have had experience enough to know
that man is in the right place in such
position. Why, if you have a man de-

is buying a hat is not quite sure
whether it is becoming or not, if the

When they have the talent, too,

men come to me to study millinery
and learn the business, exactly as
woman does. They put on their
aprons begin at the beginning and go
through the work from first to last A
man will handle the needle just as
well as a girl and sometimes better.
| notice that in many things they are
really better. In making hat frames
for instance, they are almost sure to
be more accurate and do better WORK
than the women. That is born in
them. 1t is certain accuracy and
mechanical ability.
Now, | have Il nephew who is going
through college. taking regular
course, but every Saturday he comes
to me to study millinery, and by the
time he has finished college he will be

or may take him in with me.
you see boy like that is an artist.
He has natural talent for the bust
ness. and it would be shame to keep
him out of it. You could not make
him a designer if it was not in him.
Designers are born, not made. 1t is
a talent, just as copying is a talent.
Take a people who are natural design
ers and they do not wish to see too
much of anything. They will see hat

and make a hat 1t may be on the
same lines, possibly, but it will be diff
ferent. That is where a designer and
a copyist differ. Designers cannot
copy. 1t is impossible for them to
carry out an idea twice in the same
way. But copyists must be exact.
They will look at hat over and over
again, and they can make a hat like
the one they have seen and they can't
make anything else
Men in the millinery business are
often more successful financially than
women. They have more opportuni-
ties than women in some ways. A man
can take few hats and travel around,
go to different hotels and stay a few
days, sell out his stock, and then go on
to another place. AS I said. they will
do better because they are men. The
women at the hotels will go and see
their hats and buy sooner than they
would a womans stock. A woman
frequently has to become known before
she can do business, but a man is all
right from the first, and If he can
really make hats. what he says goes,
and he will sell what he makes.--New
