NEW YORK DRESSMAKERS.
They Enjoy Especial Facilities for
Securing the "Styles."

Good Housekeeping.
In New York even the smaller dress
makers have ample opportunity to study
their art. The large importing houses are
generous in their display of advance mod
els. Their buyers expehd enormous sums
at the Partisan openings, and these gowns,
sent here at once are exhibited openly in
their showcases day after day, so that all
who can gaze at them until every seam and
tuck and gather is fully impressed on the
mind. Outlines little groups of seam
stresses can be seen pencil and pad in
hand, making rough sketches of some in
tricate model. The leading hotels and res
taurants are also great show places, and
they are much frequented by dressmakers
Here groups of women of wealth and fash
ion are sure to congregate, wearing gowns
bearing the unmistakable Partisan stamp.
In one of the leading hotels is a corridor or
promenade which is known among the mod
istes as Peacock Alley" When an impor-
tant function is on at this famous hos
telry the promenade is sure to be frequent
ed by these magnificently dressed beauties,
and many a dressInaker has occupied an

Women from all over the country flock to
New York for their clothes, and If fitted

lawns. organizes and swisses are very
pretty, and neck and arms show finely
through them. A gown or two of the light
black stuffs will be valuable additions to
a summer wardrobe, partly from comfort
in the fact that these dresses will not be
badly soiled after one or possibly two wear
ings. White must be fresh and immacu-
late at all times, but this fact doesn't seem
to act as deterrent and white dresses are
galore. Two selections from white model
dresses appear in to-day's concluding pic
ture. One was dotted white Swiss, with
trimming of point d'esprit and black velvet
ribbon. In the other collar of embroid-

pearl buttons was put on white embroidered

Liberty satin is one of the prettiest of
summer dress stuffs, and many exquisite
gowns are seen in its softer weaves. An
example was dark blue liberty with white
chantilly lace trimming. The lace appeared
at the neck in a V, whose edge was marked
with cording of orange velvet and two
rows of tiny white silk buttons. The
sleeves ended at the elbow, where ruffies
Of the lace were set, and the strange part
OF the arrangement was that these ruffies,
instead of dropping over the hands, were
draped up toward the top of the sleeve.
The skirt was trimmed with wide horizontal
tucks of the satin. often two colors trim

An instance was a blue gauze gown with
black chahtilly lace yoke, white chantilly
edging the black. When three colors are
used they are usually the quieter ones, in
stead of the bright shades of last winter.

How many families will be sufficiently
considerate to allow the wife and mother
a vacation this summer?
We seem to hear the exclamation that as
a rule the summer hotels and boarding
houses simply overflow with women whose
fond spouses have sent them off to enjoy
themselves while they remain in the city
making money.
Yes, but these women represent the rich
the comfortably well off, those who do not
really need vacation, because their whole
lives are easy and pleasurable. We are
thinking of those who do need it, the wom-
en- of the rank and file, the hundreds and
thousands of faithful and loving wives and
mothers who never know a vacation; who
still talk of the wedding trip taken twenty
years ago as the one sunny spot in their
history. The women who have grown weary
of humdrum household tasks, and who pa
tiently try to still the longing of their
hearts for some change, for a wider out

kitchen, and gave her the money carefully

the porch to enjoy it? Surprising they took
her on trolley rides as if she was com
