To tho unsophisticated CiC a fur garmi'nt appears to be all of one piece, without .seam or fold, but the insi<le vvould show the patient and painstaking labor bestowed upon It. In the first ,^^placo. every piece must have tho pile run the same way, and bo exactly the same in color and thickness. One of tho good points about a fine garment is the .small nuouiber of pieces that go to raioke it up. The reason for this is that they are cut without stint. However, every scrap of fur is valuable, and sooner or later finds its place. Cheap fur garments aic made of the leavings of the good ones. One piece of Per- sian liinirb three-(iuarters of a yard square was nuide up of scraps, none over half an inch wide. Tho back was iu labyrinth of seajns, while the face looked as smooth as if of one piece. Obviou-sly, in the process of ^xjar some of the.sc scams are likely to give wa.v Wlien a garment is to be made tho first move is to .select the skin. Thl."* is laid out on a flat boaixl and wet. The fur side is down Then tliey are stretched and polled to the limit, and literally thousands of line, long pins are stuck in to hold the edges. They arc left all night to dry. Tlio next day tho patterns of stiff cartridjfo paper are fastened down over tho skin firmly, and the cutter, with a knife as sharp as a razor, cuUs along tho edge of the pattern into the leather, but never quite through, for fear of injuring the fur. When this Is dime the Parts are gently pulled ^, <-, u.»u one lur IS ready to be sewed . IHAND WOUK THE BRST. Tliere are marliines to aevr fur, but the be -.t work i.s always done by hand, Tiio â- .''ges of tho .seam are moistened so that the noodle will pass, and all 8eL.,;is are moistened and pressed flat, ge... -rally with a smooth shell. When tho garment is Howod it is stretched again, this time on a model, fur side In. and then all edges are taped, and all scauui ale stayed by having a tape .stitch- ed back and forth so, tho soam is (liinl.y hold, no matter what future pro.sBuio may come upon it. Around tho top and bottom the tajies are stitched, this last being to giv(! a hold for the lininff. Around the arm-odgc is quilted a half-moon of buckram. Anotlier piece is quilt- ed to the levers.

Most unhappy people have become so by gradually forming a habit of unhappincas, complafhiiig about tho weather, finding fault with their food, with crowded cars, and with disagreeable companions or work. A habit of complaining, of criticizing, of fault-finding, or grumbling over trifles, a habit of looking for sha- dows, Is a most unfortunate habit to contract, especially in oarly life, for, after a while, the victim be- cotncs a slave. All of tho impulses become perverted, until the tendency to pessimism, to cynicism, is chron- ic.
