S"...A T(IUUNAL OF PtACT(CfA L ObSSSSOV
SELLING
HAND(WORI
BY EDINA !GAN,
A FEW days ago a woman called
on me with a little frock entire.
ly made of fne tatting. There
was a full skirt gathered to a short
waist ,and a ruffle entirely of the tat,
ting about four inches wide gathered
and set on to suggest a round yoke.
The sleeves were also entirely of tat
ting. Not a bit of plain relief in sight
to rest one's eyes upon! I have seen
a good many monstrosities, but any
thing more inartistio than that tat
ting frock would have been difficoult
to find. Yet t1e woman wanted me to
confirm the prior she had herself set
upon it, which. was $200, "besause it
had taken her a etar to make it." I
doubt if the woman could have given
the dress to any mother if the oondl,
tion were her child should wear it.
She said she had offered it every
where, but no one would buy it Sad
she Could not understand why.
She told me people refused even
before the price was mentioned, and
as a last resource she appealed to me.
I explained as kindly as I could just
where the fault lay and suggested
ripping the whole thing to pieces (the
design allowed of cutting up) und ues
ing the lace as a trimming for 12 .'
perhaps 30 dainty lit'.le frocks ot
lnest lawn or batiste, an:d cwhile the
sale of the entire number would not
realise the sum she had set upon. the
single dcess, she could probably get
some store to take them at $5 each
Of course, the Woman Was almost
broken hearted to be told her master
piece was a complete failure, and I
doubt very much whether she believed
me. I can imagine a good deal of
courage would be required to put the
scissors into that piece of "ork, and!
tried to tell the woman there was
really no other course except to lasi1
the frock away or to take the plunge, I
for she 'ould never sell it as it was
in a lifetime. I
