PAINTED HER SLEEVES.
And After This The New Gown Was
A Great Success.

THIS home drcssmakcr is n very i'm
Scnious person, but when she found
that she did not have enough silk by
a yard to finish her gown she felt that
her resourcefulncss would be of no
use in such an emergency, for she had
bought every inch of goods there was
in the store. She went from shop to
shop with 4 sample i'm her hand. but
though there were gray silks a-plenty,
none had the peculiar pink shade in
1t which was so conspicuous in hers
when 1t was placed by one which
lacked it.
After the woman had spent three
days on this hopeless qucst-aftcr she
had sent to Philadelphia and Nav
York TO see il she could match tho
silk-at last she gave. up in dcspai"
and made up her minl that she would
have to go sleeveless the remainde.

Then til mcht struck her. She is

after some cogitations, she took her

Later she went downtown and
bought yard of the gray silk which
came nearest hers, and then, with her
clever little brush anu the proper
shade of pink paint, she painted that
silk until 1t was exactly the shade of
the remainder of the gown. She made
her sleeves after this, and not soul
