They work weird magic with the priceless stuffs, and tne materials aid 'them m their labor, building a reputation until these names become names to conjure with, until a thousand cool shoulders shrug beneath the caressing silk, ancl a thousand .small sophisticated heads think cool thoughts beneath the enfolding felt.
