It was remarked in a recent article
upon woman's dress IN our columns
that when a Frenchwoman plans e
costume she plans It as a whole. and
that every part has to bear its prJpe'
relation to the whole; whereas az
ERglishwoman at the dressmaker's S
apt to say: That will do" AMI &c
choose each particular item Of hei
dress Just because she takes fancy
to It and without considering ita reia-
ton to other items. In fact. the
Frenchwoman puts more fundarental
Srsinwork into her choice. She plans
and foresees, and considers noS only
the fashion but her own peculiarities
with the result that her dress has
character and seems all Of a pleoe.
The French have this superiority Il
many things besides dress. They
have It, indeed, in nearly all the min
or arts of life, which they take far
more seriously than we do. Perhaps
that is the reason why we are apt TO

CATION from San Francisco, which has
come here for the purpose OF trying to
induce Congress to select that city as
the place for holding the international
exposition in celebration Of the opening
of the Panama canal in 1915 the question
of where the exposition will be held has
been brought to the attention Of many
members OF botn houses of Congress.
The bill introduced by Representative
j. Hampton Moore. which provides for
the appointment Of joint committee,
with five additional members to be
named by the President, to consider the
advisability of holding the celebr alton In
Washington, is still with the House COM
mittee on industrial arts and expositions.
Those members OF Congress who feel
that the exposition Is to be a national
or even an International celebration
and that for this reason it should be
held in Washington, are DESTROYS OF
seeing the bill reported favorably and
promptly from the committee.
San Francisco, San Diego and New
Orleans are at present the most active
claimants for the honor of having the
exposition. and there is a good deal OF
rivalry between these cities. 1t is

SURFEIT OF ONE PLAY.
Woman Who Entertains Buyers Saw
Eight Performances.
From the New York Sun,

From the New 1ork Sum-
There is a woman in New York whose
occupation is to entertain woman buyers
who come into town for houses through
out the country. She has an office. and
whenever a wholesale dealer in milli-
merry or dress goods has a woman. buyer
on his hands she is called on the tele-
phone and later is introduced to the
stranger as Mrs. So and So Of our
house." She then takes the buyer in tow.
for it is the custom still to show the
buyers some attentions, with the idea OF
cementing their allegiance to the houses
with which they deal,
This woman has a strong complaint
against popular shows. AS entertainer
she defers to the request of the buyer to
see some one particular show. Naturally
this buyer from out of town will select a
show that she had heard of as doing well
and as being amusing. 1t has happened
to this woman entertainer that In one
week, a very busy one, she saw he same
show just eight times, every evening and
at two matinees. After that most per-
sons will agree that she earns her money.
Her system is to take her visitor out
to dinner, then to the show and after
ward to have a bite of supper somewhere.
Her bill to tho house for which she Is
doing the entertaining is for expenses.
plus % per cent for her work. In this
way she has built up an income of about
Sc 600 for the year. She does not work
whole year at that, only those few
months during which the buyers come
into town.
1t Is the habit of not a few theaters
to send pair of tickets for some show
that seems to be making good to whole
sale house, with the idea that some MEM
her of the firm will take in the place. If
he likes it, and the chances are that he
will, he is then in line to recommend 1t
to any man buyers who come into town
and after business want to know some
thing good to see. Very often it becomes
the duty of members OF these firms to go
along.
