PAUL In the 5Gl-metre run, which was a
feature OF the annual carnival of sports
held under the direction of the 1nterna-

Celtic Park Yesterday afternoon. The race
was one of the most thrilling OF the sea-

yards on almost even terms.

record for seventy-1ve yards, created new
worlds standard by topping the timbers IN

Gwinn Henry, the national champion, was
forced to rest content with third honors in
the 1oo-yard dash, the handicaps being a
little TOO liberal. The flying Texan showed
remarkable form and moved down his OPP
moments in fine style, but the distance was
TO short Jim Rosenberger failed TO place
in the semi-inals and did not start in the
final heat.
Billy Hayes, the Quaker City runner,
showed his heels to flying field in the 800

form in his life and he simply raced away
from his field, to win in the creditable time
of 81 4-5 seconds. There was little doubt
that HAYES could have travelled even faster

noticeably in the last five yards. when VIC

costume for Sc, like one shown on a
dummy wonderful design, such as
l had never hoped to wear-and with
the help of a seamstress l turned out
costume which made my friends
open their eyes.
Yes, if a woman knows how in
stead of bemcaning the fact that she
can't afford to buy imported clothes
or have her gowns made at the swell
! places she can get something pretty
nearly as good at tenth of the cost.
l know, for l have done it,"
Six dollars does seem a big price
for a paper pattern" admitted the
manager of the pattern place referred
to, but the same pattern not cut 20
measurements nor pinned together
may be had for 81, and skirts, coats,
and other pieces separately cost 81
and s. only unless cut to measure
ments
Nevertheless, the demand for these
patterns is so large that there are
now two or three places which deal
in nothing else. At this time of year,
for instance, our business is so brisk
that We do not guarantee to furnish
patterns cut to order in less than FIVE
days.
"A peculiar feature of our trade is
that by far the largest percentage of
our private orders come from women
who keep a lady's maid and can afford
to buy imported gowns-who do buy
imported gowns. All the same, these
women come here and send their maid
in for certain patterns to be made up
at home by the maid and a seamstress.
Every paper model shown is mark
ed with the name of one or another
noted French house, and is an exact
copy Of a recent model put out by
that house. But supposing a customer
doesn't care for any of the models on
the dummies, she looks over books
filled with illustrations Of he latest
French costumes and it would be
strange if any woman with S. in her
purse hesitated about handing it over
to the saleswoman and having her
taken"
