Making a Bridal Gown
When Mamie Wilson’s aiwit, the
leamstress, passed away to happier
realms, leaving Mamie and her (on-
year-old sister well nigh penniless,
everybody in Christiansburg was
sympathetic.
Dry eyed, a sigh of distress buri-
ed deep in her heart, Mamie left the

day and took up the urgent task of
supporting herself and keeping her
sister at school.
Acting against the advice of her
friends, she wasted no time in try-
ing to lind a place as teacher, ste-
nographer or governess. $uch po-
sitions were (scarce in Cliristians-
burg, and dplay meant the accept-
ance of charity.
So the weather worn sign that
had Bwun& for many years from the
latticework of the little ivy covered
veranda disappeared, and in its
place appeared a fresh, new board,
on which was painted, “Miss Mamie
Wilson, Dressmaker.”
Mamie knew that she could sew
as fine a seam as ever went into a
gown, and she hoped that her more
fortunate girl friends in "Christians*
biota would give her lots of work
tollo.
Tlut she was doomed to disap-
pewtment. After the sympathetic
stwre had passed friends became po-
liwly critical. “What an ordinary
vocation for such a bright girl!”
Commented one. “1 doubt if she
Can sew, anyway,” said another.
{Thus Mamie got only piecework to
jdo, and this netted her hardly
i'Qough to pay expenses.
{ But there was at least one person
i)i the town who took enough inter-
est in the brave struggle of Mamie
■Wilson to express himself without
)restraint. Harold Randolph, the
,'only son of the richest man in Chrs-
(tiansburg, had known and liked
jjMamio ever since they wore boy and
Ajirl together.
) “Its an outrage,” he declared,
^“that every woman in this burg
'doesn’t give Mamie something to
do! Why, I bet she could make a
Parisian gown if it came to it!”
“If that’s the case, Harold, why
don’t you drum up some work
for her among your fashionable
friends?” queried one of his girl
chums banteringly, a flash of jeal-
ousy in her eyes. y
The young man didn’t take the
query in a joking mood. “You can
wager your precious life that I will
whenever I see the chance!” he re-
sponded.
His opportunity did come, but in
a way he least expected. A few
mornings later his father announc-
ed at the breakfast table that his
sister Delia was going to marry the
leading lawyer and politician of the
place, who was on the eve of being
nominated for congress.
Lelia said nothing, but looked
fixedly at her plate. Harold gasped
several times and then entered a
protest against such a sudden de-
cision. But Randolph senior was a
man of immense determination. He
had decided, and that settled it.
f They began preparations for the
wedding, which, lie said, would take
-place within a month.
“Where do } m expect to have
j'our bridal robes constructed ?”. de-
manded Harold Randolph of his sis-
ter the moment the prematrimonial
bustle began.
“Why, I shall telegraph to New
York for my dressmaker to come at
once,” she answered without show-
ing much interest.
“Well, as one final favor you’ll
do nothing of the kind, sis,” lie sup-
plicated. “Lelia, for the sake of
family, don’t go through the ngony
of having a New York tailor down
here. Why not let Mamie Wilson
make your costume ?”
“Mamie Wilson!” exclaimed Lelia

know she enn make any sort of
dress to a queen’s satsfaction. She’s
an expert with the needle, and she
has excellent taste. Besides, if I’m
any judge, she’s exactly your height,
and she doesn’t? weigh live pounds
more or less than you do. Why,
she could model a dress over her
own figure and give you a perfect
fit! Then, Lelia, she is n brave,
hardworking girl who is having an
uphill time of it. We’ve got « dandy
chance to help her, and it will be a
downright shame if we don’t do it.”
Lelia Randolph put her arms
about her handsome brother’s neck
“All rieht. old fellow.” she acquiesc
ed. "“There’ll be no tailor from
New York. Miss Wilson shall make
cny wedding gown!”
When she learned that she was
to fashion Miss Randolph’s bridal
robes Mamie was the happiest girl
in town. She knew this stroke of
fortune meant for her other valu-
able orders, and she concentrated
her efforta to produce the finest cos-
tume ever seen at a Christiansburg
marriage.
Two weeks later a filmy glory of
silk and lace was evolving rapidly
from under the deft fingers. The
bride to be was delighted, and her
brother was as happy as the pros-
pective bridegroom.
He stopped frequently to inquire
as to the progress of the gown.
Each time lie was met by smiling
eves that held genuine gratitude in
their dark depths, for the little
dressmaker could not help suspect-
ing that Harold bad been directly
instrumental in her being given the
piece de resistance of the trousseau.
But all Mamie’s bright hopes
were doomed to sudden blight. Ope
morning C hristiansburg awoke to
hear the startling news the Lelia
Randolph had eloped with a penni-
less though talented young mining
engineer who had been prospecting
in the neighborhood. The town
was aghast, and consternation stalk-
ed through the Randolph household.
Harold was the only one who didn’t
lbok calamity stricken.
“Cheer up, all of you!” he said
to hit frigtened mother and sisters.
“This fellow mt haa chosen ia all
right. I’m glad, 1 can tell you. that
she had the good sense to tavor nun
over the other chap and the cour-
age to take him! Ixilia will bring
him hack in a few days, and father
will deed them a house; you’ll see!
Dad will roar for awhile, but in the
end lie will give him a good job
with a good salary attached, and
everything will work out O. Iv.
Don’t you see it will?”
This optimism finally cleared the
atmosphere of some of its gloom.
When calm reigned once more Tlar-
old got down to business. He mado
out a check payable to Miss Mamie
Wilson for the full amount that was
to be paid for his sister’s wedding
outfit. His mother signed it with-
out a word.
Then the young man made a bee-
line for the dressmaker's. Mamie
answered his ring and smiled as she
invited him in, but there was a sus-
picious mist in her eyes.
“Oh, I’m dreadfully sorry it’s
happened,” she ventured sympa-
thetically.
“Don’t let it worry you, Mamie,”
replied Harold lightly. “It’ll turn
out all right. I came down to pay
for the dress; here's mamma’s
check.”
She took the slip of paper, glanc-
ed at it and then handed it back.
“A slight change is necessary,
Harold,” she said. “I couldn’t take
the full amount, for the gown isn’t
finished, you know.”
“Yes, but you’re going to finish
it,” he protested kindly.
“Certainly, if you wish it,” she
answered. “Then your sister will
have use for it in some other way,
after all?”
“Leiin have use for it?” he re-
peated. “Certainly not. It’s for
another girl now!”
“Another girl!” she echoed, her
eyes sparkling. “Why, it wouldn’t
fit just nny girl, I fear.”
“Yes, there is one girl it will fit,”
said Harold slowly, “for she’s just
Lclia’s size. I do hope she would
like to wear it for me. Do you
think she would?”
He was looking steadily into
Mamie’s eyes now, and his lips were
compressed. She returned his gsz ,
and as she divined that he was in
earnest her heart beat joyously.
“I’m afraid she would, very
