the profits upon the hardware more than
compensated.
The window dresser must be an expert
at designing attractive signs. and price
cards such as these enter largely into the
value of his decoration schemes. The
schools give special instruction in these
matters and there are innumerable helps
being placed upon the market in the way
OF extra brushes. new colors and endless
varieties of papers and cardbOards. A
certain knowledge of construction also is
necessary. One window in q large store
at the beginning of the season represent
ed a tier of boxes in the opera. These

Roses at Meals.
From the London Chronicle.

Roses at one time figured prominently
in pharmacopoeia. Pliny gives thirty-two
remedies compounded Of rose leaves and
petals. Sufferers from nervous complaints
used to seek relief by sleeping on rose
pillows. and We are told that Helioga-
balus used to imbibe rose wine as a pick
me-up after his periodical gormandizing
bouts. The flower was also served at
table. both as a garnish. in the way we
now use parsley. and as q salad. and rose
water was largely used for havor1ng
dishes. Roses as food have gone out OF
favor among western nations. but the
Chinese still eat rose fritters.

changes in the style OF figures lessons
their value each season, while the re-

no small item of expense in the stores
where they are literally used.
II is predicted that within a few wears
the place of the waxen model will be
largely supplied by living models. AL
ready these have been used with good
results In one store in the middle west
last spring window dresser kept three
girls in his most prominent window to
show the new dress goods which We're
draped directly to their figures in full
view Of the public. 1t was arranged that
one should stand in the window fully
dressed, while the process OF draping the
second went on. When that was fin
ished the young woman who was being
draped took her place at the side. the
one who had been standing to exhibit
the style retired, to be disrobed and en-
10y a brief rest period. and the third
one entered the window and acted as lay
figure for another demonstration OF drap-
ing Managed in this way, the task of
standing was not arduous for any one of
the models. and the window dresser was
SO enthusiastic over the effects that the
use of live models is TO be one OF the
topics discussed at the Chicago conven-
tion-
In a large New York store living mod
els were used at a recent opening. They
appeared not only In the windows. but
walked through the showroows of the
store. There were about dozen young
women employed in this manner. Each
was dressed in some imported connection
and they formed slow procession walk
ing across the show windows and down
the showroom. from where they passed
into the dressing room to change their
costumes.
