The rich man's wife was making a

on the table at her side. But when

Then the pot skipped to the home

Nellie’s Dressmaking ShOp
ELLIE’S Dressmiking Shop
was located in the yard in a
tent which had been fitted up
nicely for this purpose. It had been
a pup tent for soldier boys during
tre war. but father turned the hose
on it and after a good scrubbing. he
raised it a trifle high with ropes am.
pegs and it made a lovely playhouse
tor Nellie and her chums. This
week it had been turned into a dress-
,rnaker's shop. because so m;:_y of
the dollles and their rammas were
preparing for long vacation trips.
In front was the long counter and on
the walls a number of fashion plates,
wire and many pap” ;a"erns we“e
available. Any dolly needing new
clothes was brought to the yard and
shop. There they were fitted to size
fr': wrappers, cloaks. boardwalk
gowns, mountain climbing costumes,
bathing suits. underwear, aprons and
just the sweetest house dresses. Just
like mother's. Her prios ranged
from two to 15 cents a garment. To
the little poor children she r .ade no
charge at all. Nellie never had any
complaints from her doll customers
and thus was saved from worry that
comes to all dressmakers.
One day Nellie found on her count-
er a lovely red plush case. Opening
it inside were a tiny pair of scissors,
a silver thimhle. a stilo. a. package
of needles and best of all this note:
“To Nellie Smith from the five
