Mrs. Jack Gardner Of Boston, who owns
one of the most notable art collections in
this country, has been promoting civic art
this summer by offering through munich
pal committee three groups Of prizes to resi-
dents In the three tenement districts Of
Boston who made the best floral display
with window boxes or other plant arrange
ments within their means during the sea-
son. The prizes, ranging from 81 to $40,
while comparatively small, have excited
much interest and brought forth surpris-
ingly good results. Yards heretofore refuse
heaps have blossomed out in little gardens;
bare walls have been covered with at
tractive vines. and windows and ball
comics transformed into little Edens. The
boxes. plants and seeds have, In some In
stances, been supplied to those who desired
them by the committee, and now that the
competition is concluded the prize winners
are to be treated to a Sunday tomorrow
afternoon at Mrs. Gardner's suburban
home. In the grounds Of which all manner
of floral arrangements that may prove sug-

who earns every dollar she receives,
 and who entertains her employers agreeably by a bit of chat from the
 world outside. even when she dictates
 to them most firmly as to the length of their petticoats and the height of
 their stocks. Do not grudge her the money you pay into her faithful hand.
 Of course while she is with you. callers cannot be admitted committee meetings must be evaded, and parties of pleasure abandoned. By an unwrit- ten but imperative law, the dressmak- CTS days are her own. and she takes precedence for the time, every other engagement lessening in importance before hers. For this reason the wo- man lavish prefers another course from that of the woman economical. She sends her goods to a dressmaking es- tablishment, goes there to be fitted, and has her dresses sent home. wrapped in many folds of tissue paper. and fin- ished to the last fiuting and frill. with a bill far fin excess of the one presented by the itinerant seamstress.

be too dreadful to find anything lack ing when the dressmaker's time had come.
 When she has taken of her hat and jacket, and unrolled her patterns, the aritste survey the materials laid out for her inspection. The shimmering silks, the fllmy gauges. the sheer lawns. the lowered organdies. the lustrous mohairs. the soft wools, whatever the fabrics chosen may be. are spread be- fore her with a certain pride.
 Beautiful and costly they may be, but the dressmaker Is never enthusi- astic. She regards the most elegant stuffs with indifference. as befits one who handles such goods daily. and to whom nothing is sumptuous or mag nificent. She is often naughty, and occasionally condescending, but take her for all in all. she is businesslike, and who does not know that between business and sentiment there is a divorce which cannot be Ignored? If she says nothing critical you may thank your stars; if she approves, be certain that your horoscope was cast in a fortunate hour; if she waxes cordial in her glance and words, fate has in- deed been kind to you.
 After a little. the dressmaker, in the place of commanding officer assigns to each member of the family her task. One presides at the sewing machine. anotker meekly stitches according to direction. another bastes; each does as she is told.

are as fixed and as carefully made as those whioh announce visits of royalty. In her own character she is plain Mary Jenkins or Kitty Cassidy. In her role Of dressmaker she is an autocrat, and stately danes and fair demoiselles bow before her. One solicIts her in the au- tumn for a week in the spring. One who Is at all forehanded engages her for the fall the day the spring sewing Is finished. Her prices are high. but nobody disputes them. A dressmaker who has style and savoir-faire in the creation of feminine toilettes may sim- ply ask what prices she pleases.
 When she Is expected an air of excite mept pervades the household.
 Breakfast is earlier than usual. The children are hurried off to school. vis- ible impatience flurries the mistress, and the maid moves about as hastily as if looking for an invitation to a wake Should John choose that special morn ing to loiter little before going to business, saying that he has to meet a man on his way to the office and will take later train. deep deJection seizes his womankind. There are times when the best of men is a stumbling block; when one waves a joyful hand at the most adorable husband as he disappears around the corner.
 Everything else yields to the urgen- cy of the moment when the lady of the scissors and the styles appears on the scene. Samples were sent for weeks ago. and goods anxiously selected and purchased.

The latter indicate the ebb and flow of fashions waves. One year they pun at the shoulder. the next they flare at the wrist Sometimes the pun is below the elbow. Sometimes the sleeve
 clings to the arm. as the rind of an
 apple to the fruit. Turn to any toilet chronicle of the past thousand years,
 and observe how sleeves have varied
 in caprice and whim all the way along
 the centuries just as they do now. Elm hires crumble dynasties wane, battles
 rage. the map of the world is changed,
 but sleeves maintain their whirling
 dance through all, and the dressmaker
 sits as calmly on the top of a heap of
 ruins as in the palace of a queen.
 Princesses indeed bow at her behest. Our first lady of the land could not have gone to the inaugural ball the other evening in March. had not some lady of the shears fashioned her splen- did gown, from yards and yards and yards of iridescent brocade, woven on special looms from a pattern immedi- ately destroyed. To the Queen on her |coronatlon day and the maiden on her bridal the dressmaker is alike indis- pensable.
 The house is kept at concert pitch until the work is under good headway. Then the potentate of the occasion re- faxes her severity and conversation be- gins. eddying in and out. rippling on like a brook. swirling around familiar topics, and gleaming with gayety and gossip. Going as she does everywhere. the dressmaker hears no end Of pleas ant things, and knows no end of inter Sstfng occurrences She Is no vender of malice or purveyor of scandal. Ehe Its only a hardworking little woman.

 kCopyright, 1905, by Joseph B. Bowles.
 A function mysterious and sacred, as recurrent as moon or the tides. Is known to the initiated as the coming of the dressmaker. Its rites are treated with the deepest awe, and never with out proper ceremony, although there be those who tear their hair and gnash their teeth when the time for celebra- tion comes around.
 To the man of the house, the coming of the dressmaker is as annoying as the old-fashioned house-cleaning. In both cases he is made to realize his insigni- ficance, is impressed with the fact that he Is only a big clumsy and blundering man-body. and is, for once in his life. showed aside with as little formality as if he were merely a superfuous bit of furniture.
 The dressmaker. let it be understood, is a parsonage of distinction. For weeks before her arrival affairs have been so arranged as to give her an un- disputed right of way. She Is often en- gagged months in advance and her dates
