Halcyon is the Greek for a king

Of me. Now that my reputation as d mems

OF my workroOms there are only two points

and l guarantee to satisfy him.

lars in bank. Today / own my shop and
workrooms In the heart OF the city a good
working capital in bank, besides having
enough invested to keep me In comfort the

Women Have Advantages.
DO I think women make better tailors
than men?" Wen. know they do just as
work. There was a time when
l preferred men for the machine work but
that was on account of their strength not
their skill The machines were heavy.
and for that reason II was hard to get
woman with sufficient strength TO run them
for any length of time without breaking
down. Now thai machines are no longer
beyond tine strength of the average woman
] never think of hiring a man for the work.
My reason for employing women rather
than men lies almost entirely within my
own personal peculiarities. l detest the
Odor of both whisky and tobacco. ] con-
slider smoking and chewing a criminal waste
OF money and / have absolutely no patience
with man who drinks. II would be diff
cult for me to get fifty first-class tailors
in Chicago who neither used tobacco nor
whisky For that reason if for no other /
would always prafer women. There are,
however, several other reasons. One OF
them is thar the hard-working woman is
better understood and for that reason more
easily managed by another hard-worNing
woman than by the average man.
There is no reason 50 far as ! can sec
why a woman shouldn't tailor for men. l
began with boys clothes, and as the boys
grew up / grew up with them. They be-
came accustomed 10 ne and to them. At
first my boys would all go off for a few
seasons and then come slipping In for an
alteration on a garment that had cost them
several times over what l would have
charged From that beginning they would
gradually put themselves back on my books

| worked my women and men as some of
the tailors i know they would be going
off and leaving me in the lurch at the
busy season. just as they do in other
shops, and | for one wouldn't blame 'em
l never, have TO consider the law i'm the
management Of my shop because ! know
a woman's strength and have always taken
that as my guide. No woman has ever
been employed in my shops for longer
than eight hours day. out of that time
there is always taken an hour for lunch
and recreation periods of twenty minutes
each, morning and afternoon.
Rest Hour at the shop.
81 don't tell them they can nave an hour
for lunch and then encourage them to
stay in and take a few stitches. They
know that in good weather they are ex-
pected not only to get out of the room
and into the streets for fresh air, but they
are expected to stay out until the end of
the time. The twenty minutes given morn
ings is only for stirring around the roCms
and giving their backs and fingers time
TO rest, but in the afternoon recreation
they take turns making and serving tea
and biscuits. On il IS my treat, but /
find that il pays. WorAng nun an beings
are just the same as work animals. Give
them good care and they give you good
service.
Another point wherein l differ from
other tailors I'm Chicago, If not all over the
country 1 have no tardy fines You put
a woman on her honor and ninety-nine

Just felt i'm clover when her husband and

to me TO make mems clothes as II does for

country then and | had 20 go around sew
ing by the day. At the end OF six years
1 had worked up such tailoring trade in
that community that l hadn't any time
to give TO making women's and girls
clothes. one OF my patrons moved to Chi
cago and the next spring wrote me to come
on and do my regular two weeks work for
her husband and sons. She said she had
been all over the city with her boys and
hadn't found place whore she could get
as good looking suits for the same money
that It cost her when l made them.

condescending, but he took me in. II was

me like a horse and never even offered me

wages.

in that family the father liked them so
much that he said l might take him i'm
hand. He had couple OF suits that he
liked sent home for his wife to see Of
course | looked them over pretty thor
oughly before they were returned. / dupli-
Gated both suits. and they didn't cost half
the money the tailor charged. Il seemed
to me like cheating and swindiing in those
days to charge people so much for your
work, but since I've come to live in the
city and found out about the expenses of
living I charge along with the rest. I do
the best work, have the best styles and
charge the best prices.
