Times change. and dressmakers
change with them. The fine art OF
dressmaking Is becoming an industry.
In Whole Number 1873 Of the Bulletin
of the Bureau OF Labor Statistics DIR.
May Atkinson reports the result Of n
study Of "Dressmaking as a Trade for
Women in Massachusetts with all the
detail Of a Government commissions
investigation OF social conditions In
the anthracite mining regions. The
woman's clothing trade Is one Of the
few industries which show all stages
OF evolution from n simple to a highly
industrialized system existing side by

First. In respect OF historical Chro-
nology and simplicity OF method, Is the
home dressmaker, working in and for

help or hire system in which the
skilled worker visits the homes of her

In which buyers visit the workshop OF
The mistress dressmaker. The fourth
step IL seen in the women's furnishing
stores which combine sales n Dress
making departments. and the final
stage liz the factory, handling trade
both retail and wholesale.
In what DR.. Atkinson calls the
transition stage more advanced than
the primitive method in which indi-
vidual producers deal with individual
consumers. but not "a advanced as the
highly organized industrial method, we
see the beginnings OF differentiation
between contractor and producer. en-

Panthers, says a story from Fulton

this year, and therefore the mans
