 There was one rich and influential woman who was a good customer, whom every one In the shop dreaded. She had way of coming in and look ing at you as if she thought it more than likely that her gown would be wrong, and that if 1t was, she would soon let you know her patronage was at an end. Even madame dreaded her. Now, I had not known what fear of any one. When I gave her the first fitting Iwent right at her skirt in my usual energetic and impetuous manner. She looked surprised, but submitted gracefully to nay authorita- tive air. After I had fitted her a few times she said Anna, like to have you fit my skirts better than any one I ever have had, and have had them done in Paris and everywhere" was much pleased with this, as I did not doubt she meant 1t, because she did not have the habit of saying flat tering things just to be agreeable.
 Of course, now I had an opportunity to make friends among a wealthy class of people. many of whom afterward became my own customers. It was not long after this that madame, who had made a fortune, passed on her business to others. It was then I de- cided to start for myself and that l had the opportunity to choose one of the best filters to take with me. took two girls only and rented an apartment. My younger brother. whom had helped through q business crisis q short time previously, was without much to do at this time, and he was only too glad to help me by starting as my buyer. The business quickly increased to such proportions that was able to keep him and pay him a good salary. soon raised my prices to a point which kept the business where it was possible to handle 1t.
 If there was one thing which help ed my success more than another. l suppose 1t was never promised thing for a certain time that 1t was not ready. This was not only a mat ter of business with me. It was matter of conscience. l had all my life considered 1t so grave a matter to break q promise that I scrutinized the ground ahead thoroughly in order to avoid 1t. Then if I did promise thing I would sit up all night if neces- sary to finish 1t. and if necessary pay the girls for extra time, even though it meant a money loss.
 found now the habits formed in the twelve long years of work had borne better fruit than I had dreamed. It had become easy for me to make my self do thing at once instead of put ting 1t off. Just exactly what had to be done the next day I planned the night before. Then if the unexpected happened, the work of the girls Was not Interfercd with.

How 1 Won Success as
 High-Class Dressmaker

followed was to do everything. small or great, just as we'll as I could have done it for myself. I did not have any idea then I was laying up kind of working capital for myself. My only idea was that this was just com mon honesty.
 On this I had been taught to put a high value and a strict interpretation. Thus 1t was not especially hard for me to do this way. I loved the work. and my heart was in it, I loved nothing better than to try to do some part had never done before. It became a common thing when madame would say, as she often did in a pinch, T wonder If Anna couldn't do that?' to have some one answer, Did you ever know Anna to refuse to try anything yet?'
 During these years I had all sorts of experience with the shirking habits of many workers and apprentices. Even those who had fair amount of skill and had worked up to a position where they received good pay would often turn over a difficult job to me because was willing to do it. and because they did not see any use in working harder than necessary, so long as they were only paid by the week.
 Willingness Wins Increase.
 In time l made myself so useful to my employer she paid me more than she did three or four other girls ahead of me in the line of promotion. This the dear soul did privately, telling me not to say anything about it, as she did not want to hurt the feelings of any of the others, even though she felt she called upon me to such an extent 1t was no more than just. l really pad ba oyt uan ghp maid hV always taking up the things that had to be finished after hours or doing the thiSgs there didn't seem to be anybody else to do. It was not uncommon for me to stay after every one else had gone and not think anything about it, If was in- terested and wanted to finish aome- thing. l generally succeeded, too, in whatever 1 undertook in this way, as I found that the desire to try which always possessed me. so that l never said T couldn't do thing generally meant that I had it in me to work it out to a successful finish. ' Afterwards this habit stood me in good stead and took me through many a hard place.
 It was now that madame did one of the kind things for which she was noted. She took me with her upon one of her trips to Europe. I had wanted to go for a long time and had money enough saved to pay my own expenses and more. This had happened. not because l was naturally of such a sav- ing disposition, but because my pas sionate absorption fin my work had naturally prevented my spending much of my earnings. Of course, her chaperonage during the trip was such that I saw things I never would have seen or understood with an ordinary companion, and the trip was of price less value to me. When I came back became the head skirtmaker in the establishment and not long after came my great opportunity.

HOUSE OF THE FUTURE,
Concrete Blocks Gradually Becoming
popular-win Stand for Ages;

Popular-will Stand for Ages
Portland, Aug. l6,--lt is only within
the last Ave years that concrete has
been used as house building material
4 number of large firms in the United
States are now manufacturing concrete
blocks for use in place Of bricks or cut
stone. Another form of this comrara'
lively new building material is armored
concrete. for thu building of huge
bridges or other large solid structures.
In this work. the structure Is "armored
with steel rods and the soft concrete Is
poured into moulds around the rods and
allowed to harden. Notable instances Of
recent armored concrete construction are
the great railroad bridge across the Mis-
sissippi river. at Thehes, ILL.,, opened to
traffic only few months ago, and the
new Mckinley High School building, IN
st. Louis. The Thehes bridge is one
of the wonders of modern construction
Building houses with concrete blocks
is a simpler method, The blocks are
moulded by machinery made for the
purpose. in whatever size and pattern
NAV be desired. They are then laid Ike
stone or brick and cemented with NOR
| tar.
The common black sand, 50 abundant
in the Western country, Is used IN con-
nection with cement, and the blocks
harden so that they are as solid as
natural stone, Ii is held by some scien-
lists that the great pyramids OF Egypt
which have withstood the wear and tear
of centuries, are built OF concrete in
stead of stone.
The house built OF concrete blocks
certainly looks very durable. Any sort
of ornamentation desired may be had,
by making the mould OF the proper pat
tern. Another is smooth. taking paint
readily. Manufacturers of this kind of
building material claim that it is much
cheaper than cut stone, and they de-
clare that it is to be the popular ma
terial of the future. and that the cement
or concrete house 25 years from now
will he as common sight as is the con
crete sidewalk OF today.
