thought that she was very hard to

suit that almost filed the bill, but
there would be something wrong. At
one place she found hat frame just
like her old one, and she Immediately
took fancy to the frame. She
asked the woman how she could trim
that frame for her, and the woman
went into details, while another and
perhaps better customer waited pa
tiently. She has all the ideas she
needs, and soon will begin work, but,
of course. she will have to go down
and try on few more suits before
she gets hers basted.
