Millinery. TRADE secret: There’s a certain firm in New York that produces Pattern Hats for leading milliners. So large a business is done that rep- ntatives can be sent to Paris and the selected Hats brought to New York and copied there. They can be produced in quantities at much less than milliners could make them for, and, too, they have the Paris made appearance so difficult to create. And now for a surprise.

According to United States Consul Man at Bergen, bicycles are in general use in Norway, although not as extensively as in other parts of Europe, tie use, perhaps, being more limited to the class in compara- tively easy financial circumstances. The roads are macadamized and would be adapted to bicycling were it not for the large rainfall In western Norway, which amounts to about 85 inches. per annum. The hilly nature of the country is an additional drawback, necessitating a3 much walking as riding. In spite of these conditions, however, the consul says the bicycle con- tinues to grow in popularity. Most of the bicycles sold In Norway are from Germany and the United States.

Small shoe stocks and old-time methods have no more chance against modern, progressive shoe selling, such as ours, than the slow, bob-tail horse cars have against the present electric cars. The advent of the electric cars on 7th Plenty street now brings shoe buyers from the farthest points of the city within easy access of the greatest shoe bargains in Washington.
