Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Talks About a Fine Art "Miss Fitts, I like to see you," said Rosalie, as the dressmaker with careful regard for the " way of the cloth " and the saving of material, laid down her patterns, and smoothed and snipped so swiftly and expertly. "I wish I could do something as nicely as you do that." "I presume you do many things as well as I do this," said Miss Fitts. "No," said Rosalie in regretful tone, "I haven´t any art. There´s a friend of mine," she presently continued, "whose father lost his money. She began at once to make her own dresses and her sisters´, and you would be surprised to see how easily and neatly she does it. I just wonder at her. I have tried to do it more than once, and taken a world of pains, and not succeeded half as well, though I worked with all the patience I had." "I presume your gift is not in that line," said Miss Fitts. "No, and when I went to cooking-school last winter I had the same experience. Some of the girls could see almost before they were shown, but I had to watch and wait and follow every little direction so carefully in order to get anything right."
