the street skirt must be accomplished
with mathematical accuracy. 1t is an un-
pardonable sin to have it a trifle too long
on che side or the other, even though the
difference is so slight that it can be dis
covered by nothing less acute than the eye
OF a dear feminine friend. What seems
to be an implement best calculated to pre-
vent such an oversight is the pair of scissors
mounted on a stand as shown in the ac-
companying cut, which device forms the
subject of a recent patent. The cutting
blades can be adjusted al any desired point
and as the skirt draped on the model is
turned around it can be shipped off with the
minutest precision.

genial he decided to oblige her.

Beth looked curiously about the hall.
Behind the scenes had always been q
domain Of fairyland to her. The
thought that she was to witness a re-
hearsal, and dress rehearsal at that,
overpowered her.
1t was not at all as she had pictured
it. The long, low ceilinged hall was
very unlike the stage, and the mass of
apparent chaos bewildered her. A
huge bowlder lay against an Italian
fountain, and flower beds, stacked one
above the other, looked very unlike the
flower beds she knew
Over in one corner group Of men
were pulling and hauling at girl
dressed as an Indian. In the center
Of the hall half dozen men We're

music, and not far away a heavily

Other girls were going through dane

tie man, who beat time with a thick
pole he carried when he was not using
the stick to threaten some unruly girl
And over all presided thin, nervous
looking man, who seemed to have the
faculty of being in three places at
once.
Tom Seaton detached himself from
the group about a cage in one corner
and came toward her. "1t doesn't
seem much when you see it close to,

mitted, ':but find it very Interestingly -
