A d~ressmaker with a foreign name adj
yertised for a left handed assistant.
-She must be left-handed /" she explained,
because | want her to finish some work
that wa begun by a left-handed girl. II
would be impossible for a right-handed
seamstress to finish IL and preserve the
unifor nifty of appearance. Left-handed
seamstresses do beautiful work, but when
placed by the side of that lone by a right
handed person it is found that the stitches
and embroidery slant in the opposite direc-
ton; consequently il would spoil the effect
to combine the two in the same garment"
"You see, there is almost no wear at all
on the sleeves Of these long gloves that
fashion says we women must wear every
where nowadays, but the hands soon
split or get soiled " said a woman who keeps
up to date but has not unlimited means.
The ong gloves cost from 50 to 90, while
two button gloves of better quality car be
had for $50. As the hands of my long
gloves wear out | cut them of, buy short
gloves to match the sleeves turn both
wrist. The wrinkles hide the seam, and
no one but myself knows Of my economy"
There is at least one man who looks upon
asphalt street pavements as an unmixed
blessing, the same being the organ grinder.
He may have a long haul from his home
or his headquarters in the lower part Of
the city to the district in which he Is to work
for the day, say, In Harlem, and another
weary haul back at night; and the sort Of
street ~pavements he finds makes all the
difference in the world to him. It isn't
exactly an easy job to drag O heavy piano
organ on wheels for miles In q day on any
sort OF a pavement, but 1t is a heap sight
easier to drag it on a smooth pavement
l. a on a rough one.
1t was a Waterloo to the members OF the
Russian Wolfhound Club of America when
George j. Gould's Furlough Irma won in
four classes for the breed at the Washington
dog show last week, defeating among other
good ones Sorvan O. Valley Farm, gen.
orally regarded as the best American bred
yet brought out. Gould is not a member Of
the speciality club, and not since Mrs. Gould
used to show the Russian importation Olga,
ten or. twelve years ago, had his Furlough
Kennel, which is located at High Point,
NC, been represented in the breed. Cham
pion Marksman is the sire Of Furlough
lrma, Tor which 81 900 was refused after the
Washington debut. Few Of the speciality
club members were aware that the Gould
kennel a such good stock, and he will be
urged to join them for the good Of the
breed.
women aren't the only keen bargain
hunters in New York, said mar the other
day. I'VE poke fun at them whenever they
do a rush act at a department store. But 1
find the men are just as eager to be johnny
on the spot at the time there's a cut in prices.
Last week l went to a sale Of mems suits,
and / saw enough to convince me that at
the bargain grabbing game we can give
the women cards and spades and beat them
easily. When I got to the store three or
four cops were on hand to keep down the
riot. There must have been 200 husky
chaps sorapping to get near the counters
where the clothing was displayed. 1t was
out of the question for the statesmen to
allowed to dip in and pick out his own size.
The coats we're all piled up on one long
table. According to the plan of campaign,
you'd first have to select the coat and then
go to another table and snatch the trousers
and waistcoat that went with It."
