Nine. Paquin, the widow of the
famous woman's tailor, who died in
December last, made her maiden
speech at the annual meeting of the
Paquin Company, Limited. recently
held In London. She assured the
company that. with the help of the
present experienced staff who are
working loyalty around her-full of
ardor, devotion and good will-she
felt convinced that the brilliant future
of the company was assured for many
years. She added that it must afford
every one connected with the enter
prise the greatest satisfaction to find
that, "besides placing substantial
sum In reserve, the directors have
been able to recommend dividend
Of twenty per cent. for the year."
Nine. Paquin, needless to say, was
greeted with much applause. She
formed an interesting figure, dressed
in her widows robes, and the force
Of her charming personality created
a profound impression. When her
husband died, three months ago, she
determined to carry on alone the
great business created by him, and in
which she had been his able lieuten-
ant. She henceforth will devote her
