SO the kind of a woman he wishes

any time-living at Ray-and
the $4,000 should tempt some

It is little gruesome. is 1t notl And It is
gruesome on the other side, too. for perhaps
a woman may be wearing a gown uncon-
sciously in which another woman was
stricken by death"
You say that woman will sell gown
that cost two or three hundred dollars
and that she has worn once or twice only to
you for perhaps $50? Is it possible that a
woman who can spend such an amount
for gown would take the trouble to seek
such small return?"
-You would be surprised" was the
answer, ito know how little ready money
some Of my wealthy customers have. They
keep big establishments, have servants
galore. horses and carriages, but handle
very little ready money. So they take
the only possible way to get some--buy
a handsome gown, have it charged on
their account and after wearing it once or
twice, sell it to me.
AT some houses where I go perhaps
make half dozen calls year, and bring
away dozen dresses at each visit. This
is, of course, only one Of many ways that
society women have of raisin " ready money;
but you can realize that a check for five or
six hundred dollars from me will come in
very handy when the lady Of the house
is s. ffering for lack Of small change.
And there is another side to the ques-
!tion. Where could women dispose of these
gowns except in a place like this?
They are too gorgeous to give away
