togates along the feminine path Of pleas

In its effect it Ia quite different from the
big room overhead, which is electric lighted,
although the day outside is bright and
sunny, for there must be a steady illumina-
ton here, In which alf shades and tintI have
dependable values. This Ia the workroom
where the perfect dreams are made.
In this room and the one adjoining are
long tables. paralleled down the centre,
on which aro-piled all the paraphernalia Of
sewing. At each table sit eight or ten
girls. under the superintendence Of a de-
signer or head milner
Most Of the girls are young many Of them
in their teens. and nearly all Of them are
pretty. Their hair is hufily arranged;
some Of them wear dainty aprons, their
sleeves are rolled up, showing shapely
arms, and their expression is Of quiet con-
tent in the sphere OF life in which they find
themselves There was not one dscon-
tented girl seen in the whole two or three

clever manipulation Of bows and rosettes,

sides up and bites the stem Of a rose while
she asks demurely:
Are you going to take all our pictures
or only few? Can't you squeeze me in?
I'm little And when will it come out?'
They are q merry lot, apparently, these
milliner girls, and little discipline has to
be preserved, for they are too interested
in their work to neglect it, At one table
a girl, looking Is absorbed as if she were
painting a canvas, is putting the last stitches

Don, you ever wonder who is going to

often she answers. Sometimes We

with all Of Us TO count how many Of our
hats We can find on the avenue when We

The Importance Of the Faster hat as a
commercial problem is shown by the tre-
mendous amount of work involved in its
creation In this one establishment fairly
representative Of those shops on the ave-
nue. where you can 60 in with a light heart
and heavy purse and IN tho short space Of
half an hour can walk out with a light purse
and heavy heart-a weight however, which
ia balanced by the memory Of the perfect
dream which has caused the exchange.

ment where the woman of moderate In-
come feels herself at home In fact unless
she ia drawn by the magnet Of a special

her handkerchief and run by as hard ss
she can sprint. There are women who can

periences, have the rent raised, the tele-
phonG cut Oh, the dog die or even lose an
occasional sweetheart and display an
astounding amount Of self-restraint, but
they simply can't go by that particular show
room window without breaking at least
one OF the commandments.
For the wares displayed with such
prodgality of material and prices are not
for this woman except when recklessness
reaches fever heat. If proof OF this were
needed il would be found in the facial eH-
preston OF the leading lady Of the show
room when you inadvertently mention the
word cheap within those sacred portals,
When you think it over you wonder how
you had the audacity TO ask her what the
