Boss Of the Establishment

The Boss Of the Establishment had been

as she was the sole repository Of his pessi-
mistic deductions she was a good judge.

! If the cost OF living were not so high

They were actually so lacking in reason

! However, toward the end Of the month,
when his bank balance and his spirits took

which he presented to his wife.
1t was very shiny, very bright real
affair, with separate columns for every
conceivable form of outlay, and the lady,
with true feminine caprice, proceeded to
be vastly pleased with It.
I'm expect you to keep track Of all ex-

"Of counsel Won't that be lovely9''

Old-Fashioned ShawIs Still Worn

Young folks who don't remember the
great days Of shawls must not imagine
merely because they may see only bit Of
Indian, Paisley or broche used as trimming
for some suit, dess or trinket that shawls
are no longer worn or manufactured. A
number of mills in this country still make
shawls, and i'm view Of the reduced pro-
duction, find the business lucrative.
The fact that there has been such a great
falling off in the market has led many to
make the mistake Of supposing that the
business has been entirely wiped out, hut
the Textile Manufacturers Journal says:
There is a neat, clean, smooth business
transacted in shawls year after year"
This Is not meant to imply that the trade
is anything like what II was in It's heyday,
when a woman's most treasured posses
sion, TO be worn only on very special &C
casions, was a cashmere or camel's hair
shawl, says the New York Sun. Then, in
the sixties and early seventies, when al
most every man, woman or child had his
or her shawl, the books of a large iobber'
firm showed a business in this article OF
approximately 100000 annually. In com

pairing this with the present business OF
the same firm, $4,000, It is to be borne in
mind that people no longer pay from $1,000
to 5000 for a shawl
The government Is the shawl manufao-
turer's largest customer buying almost
100000 a year for the Indian department.
In the south, mountain people still wear
shawls; in the east the trade is best in
Pennsylvania, although there are still
many sales made up New York state and
in rural New England. Because the de-
mand comes principally from the west II
is perhaps but natural that Chicago should
be the shawl center of this country. The
knit shawl is made almost exclusively at
mills in or around Cleveland.
The retrogressloh OF the shawl trade Is
not laid by the Textile Manufacturers
Journal to the changing whims and faucies
of women, but TO ready-made suits and
cloaks and to the sweater. What one did
not do trying TO furnish substitute for
the old shawl the other did, There was
nothing left for It but 10 change its ooloFs
and take TO the reservations and the noun
tains. But IL is not dead by any means
and 1t may yet come back
