"Well, child," said Miss Sophonisba in a subdued tone, "there are some queer things in this world, that's a fact queerer than ever I thought till lately." Miss Faithful did not press for an explanation: she went quietly on with her dressmaking, and her sister, hurried though she was about her work, set herself to examine the papers.
Lacey and Arden, at last, in the stress of their poverty, gave their consent that Rose should go to the city and try to find employment in a store as a shop-girl. Mrs. Glibe, her dressmaking friend, went with her, and though they could obtain no situation the first day, one of Mrs.
Dressmaking is a science as well as an art and enough can be learned, by those not apt, to save many dollars especially in the home that fate favors with children. She will be taught a trade, or some means of earning a livelihood, that she may be prepared, if circumstances should force her into the business arena.
There was day's work, general house work, chamber work and cooking situations to be had without very much effort on the part of the seeker. Mrs. Sikes, whose work had chiefly been dressmaking and plain sewing, found the new field of labor quite irksome.

Millinery requires in its workers the same general type of mind required for dressmaking, and in addition a certain millinery faculty or creative ability. The girl who can make and trim hats usually discovers her own talent fairly early in life. Arts and crafts.
For the worker who is well established in her employment and has a good income, home dressmaking and millinery become questions of health, time and energy. This worker should make the best use of her strength.
Now if it was you there would be no trouble at all; you would take it, of course, just as I should take it of you, but she wouldn't, because she's a lass it beats me altogether. I might get mother to offer her the money, but Nelly would know it was me sharp enough, and it would be all the same." "I really think that Nelly might do well wi' dressmaking," Harry said after a pause.
