A Splendid Innovation
for Skilled or Unskilled
Dress Making.

In the Miller & Rhoads store there
has been inaugurated clever sys-
tenn whereby the woman who desires
TO make her own garments, and does
not care to pay the almost prohibi-
tive prices sometimes charged for
this class OF work. can do so with
very little trouble.
The idea liz this: Yuu purchase SOME
piece OF yard goods. either dress goods
or silks. that suits you, and in case
Yea lack the skill, ort perhaps. you
nave Il and don't realize II, and lack
the asif-Confidence necessary to make
the beginning tyou know. the first
plunge IL sometimes the hardest"3.
and given O good start you can get
ahead famously. Well, the Innovation
Is this: Expert cutters and filters are
employed to take this first step for
you. and after you have bought the
goods, You desisre they cut Il out. after
any style sea select, and fit Ii TO you
In such fashion that the sewing Ii all
that Is lelt TOR YOU 10 do.
This cutting and fitting IL done
scientifically. and the regular fees for
such work are very extreme; but in
our store, for limited time, we are
going to make merely nominal
charge for this work, with the pro-
vision only, that the materials to be
cut and fitted be bought OF us. In
casa you are unwilling to risk tho
sewing yourself. any regular seam
stress can do the WORK in your home,
or you can select from our list OF
reputable dressmakers. who will dO

The rapid transmission Of news
among kaffirs and Hottentots is a
mystery which even Mr.. Rider Hag.
gard is unable to solve Mr.. Haggard
was at Pretoria in 1879. at the time
OF the battle of Isandhlwana. Twelve
hours after the disaster an old Hot.
tentot washerwoman told him that
Cetawayo had defeated the British
troops. and gave details OF the fight.
so impressed was Mr.. Haggard that
ne reported the information to his Of
nciai superior. The British official
pointed out that 1t was impossible for
the news to be true, as Isandhlwana
was 1872 miles from Pretoria, and no
Geographic or railway communication
existed between the two places. On
the following day official confirmation
OF the disaster was brought BY mount
ed messengers. who were dispatched
immediately after the battle and trav-
eied at top speed all the way. Yet
the natives won by twenty hours, and
the washerwoman's story was true in
every detail.
