Revolving Dummies

Something new in sidewalk cases is
one containing a revolving dummy,
upon which is displayed, say, an over"
coat. The overcoat is adjusted to the
figure with perfect accuracy, so that 1t
will show to the best advantage, and
then the machinery is started so that
the figure turns very slowly. new
automatic window figure is one that is
made to attract the passerby, and then
to invite his attention to an object dis
played within This figure is that OF n
man in miniat ture-it stands about
eighteen inches high, completely attired
for the street-hat on and carrying a
cane 1t has a shrewd and good-hum-
ored face, this small figure, and every
now and then it taps gently on the in
side of the window pane with a cane.
And its jaws begin to move and you
see the shrewd, good-humored little
man talking to you, though you can't
hear what he says. And as he talks,
still facing you, you see him throw his
head back little, and little to one
side to Indicate the thing he is talking
about behind him. Then you see him
turn on his pedestal and point at this
thing with his cane.

Should Dressmakers Talk?

Dressmakers are improving. One
prominent modiste is going about lee
turing before dressmakers' clubs. Aft ar
Gescanting on clothes she makes the
statement that modistes must know
more than other women, and she ear
nestly advises them to study art, mu-
sic, literature and the drama. When a
customer comes for fitting she should
hear in one breath of chiffon and Chau-
Ger, shirring and Shaw, Turner and
tucking. Most modistes are gifted with
too much garrulity already; so it is a
point of conjecture just what effect
would be had by such a conversational
repertoire as that mentioned. There is
, only one drawback to the plan. The
customer may refuse to let the modiste
