Worth, the Woman's Tailor Of Paris.

The Paris correspondent of the Boston Gazette
furnishes the following novel statement, which
cannot but be interesting to lady readers:
Worth, the womans tailor, has returned to
town, and commenced his season. Do not won-
der if | mention him, next after divorces as
more notable than any other man in Paris, for if
your wife IS frau dress is not made and put on by
him, she is disgraced, and if he does make them,
you are ruined. Is it his fault that his rates of
charging are so high? Make the days forty-cight
hours long, and relieve him of all the vulgar
wants of sleeping and eating, he will abate fifty
per cent. of his prices. Seduce his customers
into paying cash, and he will make further
reduction.
The Empress has owed him $40 goo Princess
Clothdc $40, 900 the Princess de Mctternich
500, 900. A debt of 81 600 makes no more figure
on his books than the one years subscription of
n delinquent patron of your paper does in the
Gazette office. should not like to say how much
rent he pays-you would be sure to make an
ironical gesture not very complimentary TO my
regard for truth. The state saloons of the Tuil-
cries not more splendid. Gliding is lavished
on them, the door curtains are Beauvais tapestry,
the window curtains and furniture 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 a buffet,
constantly spread where the best sandwiches,
the choicest Sherry and Madeira, and the most
delicate cakes are served in profusion to his
customers.
lie is constantly surrounded by twelve beauti-
full young ladies, selected for the perfection of
their shape as well a. face. They attired in
the hghth of the mode in silk dresses, which
cost four dollars yard, costly Etruscan ear
rings, bracelets and rings. They are part of the
furniture of the place they are here what oseir
manikins are in inferior shops they are hung
on them that Worth's patrons may see the effect
produced. No dress ever quit his establishment
priced less than Sa00--in gold, mind ye! we
dom take your greenbacks here Whenever
ball is given at the Tuilleries, or at any OF the
embassies, you may count two hundred carriages
at his door from as early six O'Clock in tho
evening Each lady receives a number and is
called in turn. They come with their hair dressed,
their petticoats and corsets on, wrapped in
second rate dress, until he is ready to receive
them.
You may wonder that ladies should consent to
expose their persons to the fingers and eyes of
a man He is not man in their eyes-he is
nothing but tailor-a tradesman-and what
high born person ever stopped to inquire to what
sex such plebian belonged? One had
think of inquirng into the sex Of the dog with
whom his wife went into the woods for a walk,
or of the cat who sleeps in my lady's chamber
Worth, few years since, a mere shopman,
in Gangerlin's shop in the Rue de Richclieu.-
He saw there the extent of feminine folly, and
determined to profit by the experience. lie has
now beautiful country seat, which cost him
$50, 900, and on which he has spent SEQ, 600
He keeps Il carriage and pair equal to anything
in the imperial stables. He has first-rate cook,
has a cellar which is daily improving, and he is
making money as fast as possible.
