Pill with a thorough business knowledge
which will enable her to secure good
position in a first class establishment
or to open a shop of her own. Many
however, learn for personal advantage
only to trim their own hats and those
of their family. Others trim the hats
of friends for a consideration" an
one such girl from a recent class has
involuntarily transformed her room
into a small shop. She began by trim
ming hats for girl chums, who told
others, and with no effort and no adj
vertising on her own part she soon
found herself profitably busy. One di-
rect aid to these students is the fact
that the established shops object to
using a customers old material, no
matter how good and fresh it may be.
The girl milliner is quite willing to use
all the old trimmings that are in good
condition, as she has no new ones to
sell at a profit.
In New York and Boston many girls
and women go out trimming hats just
as a seamstress would go out to sew
and they have engagements for months
in advance. They charge by the hour
for their services, and make a good
living.
One woman who was left a widow,
with her own way to make, took
course in millinery. Just as she COM
pleted the course Mrs. Wyman re-
ceived a letter from a banker in one
of the prosperous towns of the state,
saying there was an opening there for
a good milliner, and asking her if she
could send one. This woman went, and

sure of the whole day.
Some one overheard part of what he
said. and consequently about four
hundred children went home that night
with the sad news that poor Miss Win
kle's father was dead and was to be
buried next day at IL o'clock.
Mr.. Wrinkle was or had been OF the
salt of the earth and every one said
so. Some wondered what the widow
would do, and others suggested that
as she was we'll preserved and good
looking she probably would marry Mr.:
Boothby, the eligible old widower or
the place. The suddenness of the fun
eral was accounted for by the extreme
ly hot weather.
The Wrinkles were calmly eating their
supper when a box arrived. which on
examination proved to contain huge
hououet of red and white geraniums
and was accompanied by Mr.. Boothby's
card.
This was no sooner disposed of than
the Tourists boy left a work of his art
in the shape of an evergreen harp.
The Wrinkles were viewing this with
astonishment. when the gate gave an
other ominous click. and Mrs. Salter
was seen trudging down the flower
bordered path. Evidently she was
warm. for she was hopping the per-

Boston. July 26.-Ten years ago Mrs.
Catharine L. Wyman, who had been in
the millinery business in Boston, went
TO Minneapolis to visit. She had sew
eral nieces in that city, and one day
she said to them. Girls, you never
will have a better chance than now
to learn to trim your own hats. If
you wish, I will give you lessons"
The result was the formation of class
made up of Mrs. Wyman's nieces and
several of their friends, all about IA
years of age. Millinery lessons occu-

Graduates who take the complete
course are prepared to teach, if they
choose. A new idea is for them to
give lessons in homes, perhaps to a
mother and daughters at the same
time. They charge at a given rate a
lesson, just as a music teacher or
drawing teacher would, and after the
first few pupils have been gained, :he
rest is easy, for one tells another.
The practical nature of this work
and its constant demand, commends
it at once. Mrs. Wyman believes that

as sewing, and she hopes that in time

1t was the third day out. The sky
was cloudless and the sun was throw.

rows of passengers in steamer chairs
and rugs on the deck. Mrs. Goddard
and her companion sat side by side. An
inclination towards sociability had
drawn most of the passengers together
in. haf7hearted efforts at entertain
ment, but the two characters belonging
to my history held themselves quite
aloof from all.
The captain, who as habit spoke
to few of his passengers. seemed to have
singled Mrs. Goddard out as voyager
of no little distinction owing to her oc-
cupation of the best stateroom on
board, for heioften bowed to her as he
passed. To-day, when Mrs. Goddard

Mrs. Nolan threw startled look into

When they were in their room, Mrs.

They alighted from the cab and
walked along the pier through the
hurrying throng of cabmen, draymen,
passengers and people who had come
to see their friends off. Reaching
the gang plank, lowered for the ac-
commodation of the saloon passen-
gers, they saw Mrs. Nolan on the up

He complied. The attention her
beauty and stylish appearance had at
tracted from the bystanders had not
escaped his eye. His heart was beat
ing madly as he followed her up the
gangplank to the first deck In a mo-
ment they were shaking hands with
Mrs. Moan. Goddard's handshake was
a mere cold Formally. He now hearth
ly disliked his wife's homely confeder-

leading the way. "In fact, there are
no other apartments up here except the
captains, and his quarters are further
forward. We shall be absolutely pri-
vate."
They had now reached door tc
which Mrs. Nolan had the key, and
they unlocked it and went in. 1t was
indeed a spacious apartment In addi-
ton to the wide double bed, the room
contained soft lounge, tea ia BILE and

braced against the wall. Adjoining it
were bath and single-berth room.
