said to be less trying and tedious business
than dressmaking, and quite as lucrative.

The providing Of individual paper pat
terms or dress charts is also new vocation
for women. Such charts are designed to
obviate the annoyance invariably exper-
fenced by those who use the stock paper
patterns.
The chart patterns Of waists, skirts,
sleeves, &c, are cut from thick, durable
paper and modelled on the actual measure
ments OF the purchaser. They are sold for
from rs cents to $50, and are usually true
and exact.
Boston woman, who launched the first
patterns less than three years ago, has
become so prosperous that she now en-
ploys a master designer to assist her and
carries an attractive line of several articles
of women s wear calculated to interest
shoppers.
She has enlarged her original scope to
include patterns that will conform to all
the latest vagaries Of fashion. She furnishes
patterns for handmade goods such as
knitted slippers, baby shoes. mems vests
and women s sweaters and skating caps;
anything, in fact, which worker might
wish to manufacture and would want
planned out in proper proportions.
As the standard of dressmaking rises
and the prices 90 up correspondingly, an
increasing number of women take pains to
make the simpler frocks and essentials.
And for thesethe chance to get individually
cut patterns is eagerly taken advantage Of.
The chart patterns have seams, darts, hens
and the like 30 clearly designated and will
such plain directions for putting the m to-
gether that the veriest tyro at cutting out a
garment could hardly make mistake.

With all her sense Of humor, what must
the broad-shouldered, strong muscled

she reconcile hobbling about at reception

both in silk and gauze Isle.
As rule they are not embroidered or
lace trimmed, but are very fine silk or
Isle or open-work. When the Boston
girl heard this fact she gasped in a scarcely
audible tone:
But what--how do they"
Her sentence ended inarticulatey, but
the answer to her question is that they
are fastened up by mems silk garters.
There is not an actual craze for these
strange, ungraceful garments, but some
how the oddity OF them seems to have
caught the fancy Of a great many women,
and the fad for them will last until it is
pressed out Of sight by something shade
more odd.
But there are really oddities enough in
the decoration of the conventional long

seriously. The new within in embroidering

who have for years enjoyed the privilege
of returning things they bought for them
selves or others bought for them, and get
ting the cash instead. For a long time
many of the stores have been worked by
women who have won prizes al euchre par
ties and other social contests. The prize
winners have been in the habit of finding
out where the prizes were purchased, taking
them back and getting the money for them.
In some cases the purchasers have ex-
changed their prizes for credit, which has mt
been quite so Objectionable. but in the main
the women have wanted cash, and All in
vestigaton has shown that as rule they
don't stay in the stores TO spend the cash,
once they get it.
In recent years the evil has extended
to wedding presents. 1t has been noticed
that in the spring and fall when there are
many weddings enormous amounts of stun
like cut glass, silver, china, clocks and other
favorite wedding presents have been re-
turned by brides or their relatives, and cash
taken for them instead OF course this has
meant loss to the stores. A new rule makes
it impossible for anybody but the actLai
purchasers to exchange purchases for cash
custom to give with every purchase check
containing a memorandum OF the article
bought, the price paid for it and the number
of the salesman or sales woman who sold 1t,
In the future when an exchange Ii made
this check must be produced or the nego-
tations are off. The legitimate return of
articles purchased is not stopped by the
new rule, but the return OF prizes won Mt
card parties, and of articles bought rs
wedding presents Is made impossible as
the checks could scarcely accompany the
articles secured under such circumstances.
"The evil grew so rapidly" said Brook

OF her day, that it was necessary to stop it
Almost every euchre prize bought from

always noticed that many presents were
returned by brides who wanted the money

States Court at Rutland. is exciting more
than ordinary interest throughout this State
The action is to recover $50 600 damages for
alleged slanderous and malicious language
used by Mr.. Clement during his Guberna-
torial campaign two years ago.
Mr.. Clement is a wealthy railroad man
who Is also interested in New York hotel
property. He was candidate for Governor

ter" employed, it was alleged, by the Vcr-
mont Anti-Saloon League, though the
league denied any connect ion with him.
Whoever may have been his employer,
Wilson worked in such a way that he ex-
cited the hatred of many license men
While making an investigation at White
River Junction, Wilson shot and killed
Edward Cos hea He was acquitted by the
courts on the ground of self defence, but
during his campaign tour Mr.. Clement
called Wilson a murderer. For this Wilson
seeks damages,
