chioness and her daughters who were too
aristocratic to smile at their own stupid
ity. Caroline hurried back to Colonel Jay
triumphant; she had been vindioated and
she was happy. Later the marchioness
told jay, though she never referr ed to this
incident, that her daughters lad worn
far the smartest mourning gowns of any
of the young ladies OF the nobility.
This was the climax IN Carolirc's career
in London. After that Colonel Jay had
perfect confidence in her and trusted her
not only with members Of the highest
members of the aristocracy, but with
members of the European royal families
as well.
In the course of few wears Caroline
came to America and was engaged by one
OF the leading dry goods merchants of
New York to reorganize his dressmaking
department of about 800 people. This
called for a good deal of executive abil-
ity and tast, as well as a knowledge OF
the art and practice of dressmaking and
the work was rewarded with very laf
salary When this work of reorganiza-
tion was accomplished Caroline was sent
abroad as Paris buyer for the same dry
goods concern.
At present Caroline, with an establish
ment of her own, is one of the most prom
inent dressmakers In the country and has
On several occasions retired from busi-
ness on her savings for several years at
time In the course of her experience
she has had as patrons hundreds of the
best known women of the stage and Of So
ciety, among them Emma Eames, Sarah
Bernhardt, Mrs Potter Palmer and the
Duchess of chaulnes. To talk with aud
study these women of talent and beauty,
of wealth and influence is Caroine's d.
version, whereas planning and creating
the clothes in which they act their varied
roles Is the serious work of her life.

way, one of the most fastidious dandies
who ever trod Regent street
"Madamoiselle, remember that perfect
fitting is one of the fine arts and do
not be discouraged" In spite of this
encouraging speech Caroline left the
room, knowing that Colonel Jay was
disappointed in her
Caroline went straight to the town

after waiting little while in an ante

Caroine's French blood rose high un-
der this remark, but she had learned
that successful dressmaker is always
polite to customers, so she simply
smiled one of her piquant French
smiles and suggested that the young
ladies put on the offending gowns so
that she could begin to refit them at
once. She was sure in her own mind
that whatever alteration was necessary
would be a matter of a few minutes
work. In short time Lady Maude and
Lady Gwendoline-slender, overgrown

black gowns. Caroline gave them ona

YYERE is dressmaker who dares
to charge as much as $500 for a
L single gown and, what is more, Is
able to find patrons who will pay 1t.
She is past mistress of the art of dress
making and she is also an efficiency
expert on the business side of her pro-
fession. little while ago, when one
of the largest department stores in Chi
cago wanted to open up a dressmaking
department, she was asked to be the
chief engineer of the undertaking-to
buy all the furnishings. fixtures and
supplies, choose a working force and
outline policy. The work took only
a few weeks of the dressmaker's time,
but her fee was $50OO Dressmaking is
one of the arts. Quite so, but 1t takes
a pretty good business head to make it
pay.
The woman who has achieved this sue
cess is Carolina Van Horn. Twenty
years ago she was a pretty little blue
eyed French girl in a fashionable board
ing school near Paris. She was a men,
ber of a distinguished French family and
locked forward impatiently to the time
when she should take her place in the
social world of the French capital. She
dreamed of how she would go to the
opera and the Comedie Francaise with
her husband-some suitable husband
whom her parents would have chosen
fer her-of how she would go driving on
fair afternoons in the Bois de Boulgone
or through the Champs Elysees. And
with the instinct of true Parisenne she
dreamed of the clothes she would wear
of the creations from Worth and Paquin
and she thought about them and drew
sketches of these visionary costumes till
they were more real than the plain
school dresses she was wearing.
Then came the news one day to the
school that through some. business re-
verses that she didn't understand her
family had been left penniless. She
would have to leave school at the end
Of the term and go to work.
To a French girl this loss of money
meant a great misfortune. She would
have no dowry, and to have no dowry in
Fronce usually means to go unmarried,
and to go unmarried among the sedate
conventional aristocracy of France is
well, somewhat more discouraging than
to be bachelor girl in this country.
She must be governess or course, 1or
that was the only suitable work for
girl of her standing. If by any d1spen-
sat1op of providence she ever old marry
II would he to some little shopkeeper,

taken two or three years for her to work

At the end of her first season Colonel

day and told her that Mile. Manx was
going back to Paris and that he wanted
Caroline to take her place. This meant
that she would come in daily contact
as a filter with the artstocracy and roy
ality of England 1t meant that in what
ever she did or said in working hours
would have the reputation of Jay to up
hold. 1t also meant more money-a bet
ter lodging house, more money to save
and to send across the channel to her
family in France.
One morning in the middle of all this
rush Colonel Jay called Caroline to his
office. He wore a look of great gravity
and Caroline knew at once that some
thing was up"

friend when they got across the channel
and went on alone to London
She went straight to the establishment
of the noted Jay in Regent street. For
moment she hesitated when she saw
the row of equipages that We're lined up
at the curb, and observed the forbidding
dignity of the six-foot powdered footman
at the door. But she hesitated only
second and then she went in and told the
first attendant she met inside the door
that she would like to see Colonel Tom
jay himself. To her great satisfaction,
after waiting for few minutes. she was
ushered into the office of this important
parsonage.
II have come to apply for position
she said In her best English. II have
come from Paris and 1 want to get en-
ployment at once"
The colonel made some remarks about
his surprise that she had insisted on see
ing him personally on business of that
kind, but there was something in the
girls manner that made him forgive the
intrusion. I'VE are in need of skilled
workwomen 1 believe he said. what
position do you want?"
Caroline hesitated for fraction of a
minute, screwed her courage to- the stick

ant filter and designer" Then she wait
ed In trepidation for the coloners next
question. Just what she would say when
he asked her for names of references or
where she had received her experience
she hadn't planned. AS a matter of fact
all she knew of dressmaking was what
she had learned in the elementary course
of sewing which she had had in school.
But the expected question didn't come.
Apparently Colonel Jay took her at her
word and he Immediately offered her a
position with as high wages to start with
as she could have ever hoped for as
soverness in a French family
Caroline then went out into the strange
city and picked out a cheap lodging house
and wrote to her mother to tell her what
she had done and to her school mistresses
to tell them that she would never return
to school,
The next thing to do was to make good
at Jays. She had made up her mind
never to let any one suspect that she had
come without experience, and this took
a good deal of alertness. To begin with,
she was put to work on her first day un-
der Mile. Manx, who had received her
training with the great dressmaker Worth
in Paris and she at once took a liking
to Caroline and proved to be an excel
lent instructor, though she never dreamed
how closely Caroline watched her in
everything she did. Caroline kept her
ears and eyes open to everything that her
superior said and did and worked early
and late and every minute of the day.
If she had told Colonel Jay she was
inexperienced she would have been
started as an errand girl at a wage she
could not possibly have lived on in Lon
Ion, but as it was she was able to send
something home to her family from the
first. If she hadn't told this pardonablc
fib she would have wasted long months
learning how to pull hastings, thread
needles, sew tables into finished gowns

experienced if you would rather"
OF course, Caroline had the nerve
and the self confidence, and she had
the pluck that would see a bad Joh TO
the finish. She thought to herself that
the trouble was probably due to some
whim of the marchioness, but she said
nothing. Never before ssince she had
been at Jays had she really had 4
setback till now. The episode with
Lily Langtrys ballet mourning gown
was a trial of her ability, but this
seemed to be a refutation of 1t. She
started, crestfallen, from Colonel Jays
room, but before she reached the door
he called her back.

For the rapid removal of small trees
In grubbing he writer has found it an
excellent plan to use a team and a
hundred foot rope. The larger side
roots which will be found on most
trees except hickory and bur oak
should be cut on number of the trees
to be removed. One man should then
take charge of the team and the other
with a ladder tie the inch rope well up
in the top of the tree. Fastened at a
good height. this gives a big leverage,
and every stroke of the Ak while the
team is pulling will do double and tri-
pie execution and make the job of re
