things not formerly included in milliners'
wares, now come under that head and serve
TO develop and stimulate the business.
The successful mlliner nowadays has
often taken a course in art study and prac-
teal designing before she even started In
her trade, whereas the milliner Of old was
q hat trimmer pure and simple, with very
little need to concern herself with structural
points or to think out novel creations for
special patrons or for particular functions.
The modern nilliner devotes herself to
devising unique hats and garnitures based
on her own ideas of what is fit and becom-
ing, and so must necessarily keep up with
the worlds doings, and with the various
new pursuits that come in fashion, and for
which suitable hats must be provided.
The old-style milliners applied trimmings

silk used for the hood, and, by the varying
adjustment of this trimming the hat may
be made tolerably becoming.
The hood is either shirred around the
throat and fits snugly under the coat collar
or may be sewed together down the back
only to the collar line. where it divides into
two long scarfs. one on either shoulder.
These scarfs are twisted around the throat

In other occupations there are, OF course
certain losses which must be expected
and for which provision must be made.
Among the heaviest losers on bad debts
in New York are the first class dressmakers.
This does not apply to the dressmaking
departments of the large shops, which do
not deliver goods to customers not well
known to them and properly accredited
unless they are paid for In advance or ON
delivery.
1t is the smaller dressmaking establish
ments which lose. They are compelled
to be more accommodating and would soon

losses. The fashionable. we'll established

elected president and Mrs. Bessie Scovell.
Minnesota state president, was elected
secretary. Mrs. Clara Hoffman of Kansas

cessful competitor and she is now at work
on the model. 1t is to be the figure Of a

an ice coil will be constructed. The cost
of building the fountain and maintaining
1t during the season will be So 900 which
the organizations in the Purchase states
have undertaken to raise. Minnesota
