and answer some notes while you make

Into cozy little room she was
ushered. Now she would write notes;
then would pause for interested chat
with some other gown purchaser-and
such friends were constantly dropping
in-then she concluded to look over
samples of materials for another dress.
After this more notes, and then the
selection OF a hat And so she rested
and amused herself and shopped during
the short afternoon. while shoppers and
workers hurried and scurried about
gathering together the infinite variety Of
materials which go to make up a smart
gown nowadays, and shaping them into
beautiful whole.

claimed, as the filter deferentialIy ap-

''I'll try" smiled madame; ''but you

With a wisp Of moonlight blue mate
rial in her hand, madame trailed grace
fully to her forewoman. Make a din

and then she directed of what materials
the gown was to be made, with a gem

Before her skirts had whisked out OF
the door the forewoman was telephoning
hurried orders to bead embroiderers
and trimming makers with commands
for one to come up and get sample to

the gown came to be fitted. numberless
workers were engaged in stitching upon
her dress. Some worked upon one
sleeve, some upon another. One deco

yet untitled and undraped: others sewed
bead after bead upon the cleaning folds
Of the filmy gown already glittering
with points of irridescent light from
applications of trimmings and embroi-
dered arabesques Of tiny beads. Still
others worked upon the underslip and
skirt. Just before o'clock two busy
packers laid the last fold of tissue paper
between the dlaphanous loneliness of an
deliberately embroidered dinner gown,
and a little later maid was arranging
its folds upon its owner.
Mrs. George Gould came smiling into
one of New Yorks big dressmaking es-
Establishments not long since with an or
der for a velvet dinner gown to be
worn with her magnificent emeralds.
Il suggest green velvet said Mad
anne. the dressmaker, with a very sim
pie bodice to act as a frame for the

and glittering emerald and diamond or

for she knows that little touches Of
originality can be impaired to the living
figure which one might not think OF in
relation TO dummy. Sometimes, too,
the dummy does not answer for an alb
solute fit where the gown is of the
character known as nodded to the fig

In this case the filter and his assist

in a moment the handsome gown was
slipped of, carried to the flnishers, and
soon after dispatched to its owner.
1t seems little short of incredible to
the average person that an entire elab-
crate gown can be made up in a few
hours-that a fashionable woman may
order a gown on her way to pay after
noon calls and put that gown on when
she returns TO her home after the round

What does it mean TO make such
gown? 1t means that one bit OF ma
terlal must be matched with lightning
rapidity with Innings. chiffon veilings
fiouncings. bindings. trimmings. buttons
frequently with beads and sequins. That
satin or cloth must have silk and chif-
fon to match it, and this is one Of the
most difficult things in the world. since
In some shades matching proves an alb
solute impossibility. In that case the

There was braiding on the little coat

The skirt was of walking length and
had a plain front breadth. with stitch

Six large buttons OF the pale blue

the gore near the foot and were inclosed
In lines Of the braid. Starting on either
side or this plain front width was the
braiding, which ran all the way around
