the highest price will be paid, etc.
Occasionally these cast-of clothing
dealers do the business quite genteely:
not only leaving a card in advance,
but driving up in a cab when the busl-
ness call is made. But what do these
cast-of clothing merchants do with
their purchases? To that question the
sartorial organ replies: "Well, some

export, and others they sell to other

events. AS far back as the recovery
of George III. the practice prevailed
and another occasion was the conclu'
sion of peace between England and
France in 1915, when the pie contained
half a sheep, twenty fowls and half
peck Of -four. To celebrate her late
majesty's jubilee, the pie was bakee
in dish weighing fifteen cwt. 1t was
eight feet in diameter, two in depth
and the total weight was over two
tons. The cost was $3.50, and it was
drawn by ten horses. Unfortunately
the pie, when cut, was found to bs
uneatable, and another was made II
