There is, of course, something to be said about the division of the work into seasons, which means a dull period between, and is a definite drawback to this particular class of work. In my own rooms, however, I have always retained the girls who have been interested for me, and who have paid atten- tion to their business, not working merely for "six o'clock and Saturday night, " which practically amounts to a kind of sur- vival of the fittest. These steps to the higher wages vary with different... girls, but the experience of learning generally comes between the ages of sixteen and twenty-three. Of course there are many who never advance beyond a certain point. Many girls do not go through all these steps, although those who do so are best fitted for the mechanical end of dress- making, but start in business for themselves in a small way, making dresses at a low figure to attract certain people. As this particular business seems to depend largely on one satisfied patron sending another, if the young dressmaker has any native genius, and is conscientious about the sort of work she sends out, she is in line to get higher prices and to go into larger quarters.
