Extravagant Wives
To Go
London, Sept. 25.—Bond street
tailors are complaining because the
extravagance of Englishwomen in
the matter of dress leaves no money
for the men of the household to
spend on their own raiment.
Putting forward the theory that it
is more necessary for a man to be
well dressed than a woman, because
clothes with, a man are a business
asset, one Bond street tailor de
clared that “everywhere one sees
badly dressed husbands accompanied
by extravagantly dressed wives,
while shabby business men dictate
letters to stenographers wearing the
latest from Paris.

The early buying was apparently

it 100 points over December at one
time.
The selling for the day was scat
fresh selling for a turn and consid
erable hedge selling. Today’s price
and premium for October ought to
attract a lot of cotton here. Senti
ment because of today’s develop
ment has become decidedly mixed

Is Tailors’ Plaint
♦ « It is time, he continued, “that
men rebelled. As things are, women
spend at least three times more than
men. It has become necessary for
men to take a stand and to insist
on being as well dressed as their
wives or daughters or stenograph

“Is there no country where men
have withstood the feminist advance
and have held their own in the mat
ter of dress?" this tailor was ask
ed.
"Possibly in the wilds of Africa
there may be natives who dress as
well as their wives," he replied. “I
don't know of any others."
