worth. the WOman's Tailor at Paris.

The Paris correspondent of the Boston Ga
zette says:
"Worth, the woman's tailor, has returned
To town. and commenced his season. Do not
wonder if | mention him next after divorces;
he has caused more divorces than any other
man in Paris; for if your wife's ball dress is
not made and put on by him, she is disgrace
ed, and if he does make it, you are ruined -
Is it his fault that his rates of charging are so
highs Make the days AS hours long, and re-
lieve him of the vulgar wants of sleeping and
eating, lie will abate so per cent. of his prices.
Seduce bis customers into paying cash, and
he will make a further reduction. The En-
press has owed him $4,000. The Princess
Clothilde, $4,000. The Princess de Meter
mich, $4,000 A debt of 81 900 makes no
more figure on his books than the one years
subscription of delinquentpatron ofyeur pa
per does in the Gazette office. i should not like
to say what rent lie pays-you would be sure to
make a gesture not very complimentary to
INV regard for truth The state saloons of the
Tuileries are not more splendid. Gliding is
lavished on them, the door curtains are Beau
vais tapestry, the window curtains and furni-
ture are of the finest Lyons brocade, and the
furniture is Boule, each console between the
windows being worth 5000. He has in one
of his many rooms buffet constantly spread
where the best sandwiches, the choicest sher-
nv and Madeira, and the most delicate cakes
are served in profusion to his customers. He
is constantly surrounded by twelve beautiful
Young ladies, selected for the perfection OF
their shapes as well as faces. They are at
tired in the hight of the mode in silk dresses,
which cost four dollars yard, costly Etruscan
earrings, bracelets and rings. They are
part OF the furniture of the place they are
here what osier mannikius are in inferior
shops the dresses are hung on them that
Worth,s patrons may see the effect produced
No dress ever quits his establishment priced
less than S2O0-in gold mind ye! We don't
take your greenbacks here
Whenever ball is given at the Tuileries
or at the embassies, you may count two hun
dred carriages at his door from as early al
six O'Clock in the evening. Each lady re
ceives number and is called in turn. They
come with their hair dressed, their petticoat'
and corsets on wrannad in a seennd-rata 4 ~nsa
uiIti ne IS ready to receive them. You MAJ
wonder that the ladies' should conset to ex
pose their persons to the fingers and eyes o
a man. He is not a man in their eyes-he i;
nothing but a tailor-a tradesman-and what
high born person ever stopped TO inquire Il
what sex such plebeian belonged? One haC
as soon think of inquiTing into the sex of the
dog with whom his wife went into the woOd
for a walk, or of the cat who sleeps in m,
lady's chamber. Worth, a few years since
was mere shopman in Gangerlin's shop il
the Rue de Richelieu. He saw there the ex
tent of feminine folly, and determined tt
profit by experience. He has now beauti
full country seat which cost him $4,000, ant
Oh which he has spent 100000. He keeps ;
carriage and pair equal to anything in thu
| imperial stables He has first rate cook
has cellar which is daily improving, and j
making money as fast as possible"
