FANCIES ABOUT DRESS-FITTING.
Some queer little superstitions have sprung up in the fitting rooms, we are told. liero are some of them that may be interesting. If tho pin bowl is upset a happy surprise awaits the person who picks it up. If during fitting the garment is accidentally pinned to you, this means anolher new frock ere long if you are married; if single, no wedding for you during the next 12 months. IF tho scissors fall and the points stick into the floor, a mourning order will follow; while a knot in the tape measure foretells one leaving or coming. - To leave any packing thread in a garment sent homo will mean its returning for alteration.
