The MODISTE'S MODELS
How Some Women in Paris Wear Beautiful Gowns for a
Livng--Usually Under Contract

In Paris there is a class of business
women who wear beautiful gowns for a
living This sounds like a fairy story.
and if we thought we could draw sal
airy merely for the fun of dressing up,
walking in the Bois every afternoon and
being everywhere admired, we would all
pack our trunks and HE ourselves to
the French capital for a life stay. Fancy
what a glorious butterfly existence this
must seem to the girl who pegs away
in a dingy office, hitting a typewriter
/all day, six days in the week, for barely
enough money to buy her cheap shoes
and imitation furs.
But the women who wear gowns for a
living are not butterflies, neither is their
existence anything like "a fairy story
Their work is not fun-it is q profession,
and by no means an easy one.
Talent Necessary.
In the first place, to be a modiste' S
model-for that is what they are called
one must be born with a talent for wear
full nor possess fine figure; but she
must have that height. that carriage.
that air which make a gown look all
that it is. Very few women nave this
talent Take a model gown of the
plaster of Paris dummy and put it on
the average woman. and it leses half Its
grace and most of its flne points OF
style
The modiste's model has a slender
waist, knows how to mold herself into

A recent decision of the supreme

the Bottineau district court, which

liquor in violation Of the prohibition
law, is being discussed very gen
orally in legal circles.

contain any percentage of alcohol,
if sold was beverage. The con-
tention as that the instruction was
erroneous and the supreme court SO
agreed, and reversed the decision of
the lower court. The court held that
the instruction that all liquor which
contain any percentage Of alcohol
and are sold as a beverage are intQx-
icating liquors was not warranted.
The original prohibition law pro-
hibited the sale Of any liquors that
would produce intoxication, and this
law amended by adding "that fer
mented and alcoholic liquors and
mixtures thereof shall not be deemed
intoxicating if they: contain less than
2 percent Of alcohol by volume. The
