Smoker Herself butt he Knowe BheIentaf3 , All About It—Rich Coloring Obtained by Careful Use and Timelye oiling -A Masculine Weakness. Perhaps the ono person in this city who is most deeply versed izithe sea et of pipe coloring is a woman, and it is n eedoss to say ti at she never took so muc as a sin- gle whiff of smoke from a pipe in her life. Her hiterest in pipe coloring is timely pro- fessional and a very largo proisortion of the most beautiful pipes colored in Chi- cago during the last 20 years have passed through her bat: b1, or, more properly, through her kettl for she is a past mas- ter in the unique profession of meerschaum boiling. She has treated thousands of pipes for smokers of this city and has un- doubtedly done more to disaemi ate a gen- eral knowledge of the difficult a t of meer- schaum coloring than any oth ,r resident of this city. - While it cannot be said that this woman "pipe doctor," as she_ le frequently called by her patrons, gives regular ' lessons or paid instruction, her advice is . Constantly sought by the men who find,4hat their pet pipes are not acquiring t rich hue wbioh they desire, and her position may. 'best be described as that of a `4donsulting colorist." Although she mainta ns a shop or office in tlark street and they conducts a large business in the sale and repair of fine pipes, she .oes not ventureto do ber boiling in so publio a 'place, as the process is a secret ono and is the °To ution of iron, many years of patient study a` eZperi- Dove wont.. The rudiments of her dd craft turo 0 were learned in France, wher she was d . steel. born, but the formulize for the boiling t mixtures which she. now uses to thi steel. little -toe o0 resemblance to those which she . as orlg- vatic Inally taught. They are distill,"distill,"ively her were own, and she guards them with most fire jealous care. - 1 the ed "A great many young men," said this L -Ma - matronly woman whose life has been spent in studying pipes, ``bring me weer-- grette sohaums which they have smoked _for six enter or eight menthe and • ask why; Ithe pipes has b have failed to acquire the dark wh coloring distad. seen in the meerschaums of the who are y t veterans in the art. They intjire, in a did n helpless sort of way, if I think boiling 'will posits improve the color or if the meerschaum le colleg' of an inferior quality which w uld not to be ei take on a rich hue if smoked fell a dozen rich al: years.

Even later it was con- resorted oresorted to only when the meerschaum id re quite a burns, becomes scratched or 10 ferior quality. This is an almost mistake among those who aro enced in this smoker's diversions . "The fact -is that the finest meerschaum ever imported into this country'could not be given a perfect color witbdut being boiled in oil at just the right Stage in rte development. Simply smoking it, no matter how great the care exercised to prevent burning or how rich and juicy the. tobacco, would never in the world secure - the desired result. It is in knowing just when the pipe is ripe for boiling that the smoker is able to display a triumph Of judgment and skill which will ',make hint envied by his less sucooessful competitors, for there is a keen spirit of rivalry in this matter, particularly among young mer' Of the fashionable and student classes. "There are scores of veteran colorists who invariably smoke their meerschaums altogether too long before having them boiled. - Thie is the universal' tendency, and the number of men who have their pipes boiled- at exactly the proper stage may almost bo counted op the; fingers of two hands. Of course it is absolutely im- possible to make any hard and fast rules regulating the length of time that the pipe should be smoked before ! being sent to the kettle. Many things enter into that consideration, but chiefly the I uallty Of the meerschaum. If the latter¢ very soft the pipe, in the hands of a steady smoker, will be ready for the oil in a week, while a hard pipe will require three weeks of al- most constant smoking to make it 'ripe' for its hot bath.

Encouraging Results7 SIGN OF THE Follow Proper Feeding MOLAR SAW The Dressmaker's Trick. , One of the roost successful modistes in town owes her prosperity very largely to a scheme so simple it is strange that no one had ever thought of it before. It is as fol- lows: The dressmaker's establishment is in a double house—that is to say, one with rooms on either eido of. its hallway in the middle. Ono side is dedicated to one sort of customers, the fat; the other to another sort, the lean. No "plump" woman was ever known to pass beyond the portals leading to the side not intended for her, and no "sylph" has ever yet been permit- ted to acquaint herself with the mysteries of the afartments consecrated to those of adipose figure. Of course, it is the mir- rors. Evorydressmaker has them of the two sorts, but not every dressmaker has. been shrewd enough to keep the two so distinct and separate. The fat customer at this particular es- tablishment•sees herself on all sides in glasses that make her look like the sylph she isn'ti, while the living skeleton herself would present rounded contours if reflect- ed by the magic mirrors lining the walls a the thin rooms. "Thick" and "thin" is the way the two sets of apartments are designated by the employees of the estab- lishment.
