Worth, the wOman's Tailor of Paris.

The Paris correspondent of the Boston
Gazette furnishes the following novel state
ment which cannot but be interesting to la.
dy readers
Worth, the woman's tailor, has returned
to town, and commenced his season. Do
not wonder if | mention him, next after di-
vorces, as more notaole than any other man
in Paris, for if your wife's frail dress is not
made and put on by him, she is disgraced,
and if be does make it you are ruined
Is it his fault that his rates of charging are
SO high2 Make the days forty eight 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 $4,000 /;
Princess Clothilde, $4,000; the Princess
de Metternich $4,000 A debt of $4,000
makes no more figure on his books than the
one years subscription of delinquent pat
ron f.your paper does in the Gazette Office.
should not like to say how much rent he
pays-you would be sure to make an ironi-
cal gesture not very complimentary to my
regard for truth. The state saloons of the
Tuileries are not more splendid. Gliding
is lavished on them, the door curtains are
the finest Beauvais tapestry, the window cur
tains and furniture are Of the finest Lyons
brocade, and the furniture is Boule, each
console between the windows being worth
$500. lie 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
proiusion to his customers.
He is constantly surrounded by twelve
beautiful young ladies', selected for the per-
iection Of their shape as well as face They
are attred 10 the height of the mode in
silk dresses, which cost four dollars a ward,
costly Etru>can earrings, bracelets and
rings. They are part Of the furniture Of
the place they are here what osier mani
kins are in inferior shops they are hung
on them that Worths patrons may see the
effect produced No dress ever quit his es-
tablishment priced less than SOON gold
mind ye we don't take your grcenbacks
here Whenever ball is given at the Tu-
ileries, or at any of the embassies, you may
count two hundred carriages at his door
from as early as six o'clock in the evening
Each lady receives number and is called
in turn. They come with their hair dressed,
their petticoats and corsets on, wrapped in a
second rate dress, until he is ready to re-
ceive them
You may wonder that ladies should con-
sent to expose their persons to the fingers
and eyes ola man. He is not man in their
eyes-he is nothing but tailor-za trades
man-and what high born person ever
stopped to inquire to what sex such pie
bian belonged One (of them) would as
soon think of inquiring into the sex of the
dog with which his wife went into the woods
for walk, or of the cat that sleeps in my
lady's chamber. Worth, few years since,
was a mere sbopman, in Gangerlins shop in
the Rue de Riehelieu. He saw there the
extent of feminine folly, and determined to
profit by the experience. He has now a
beautiful country seat which cost him $780,
600, and on which he has spent $50, 1000
He keeps carriage and pair equal to any
thing in the imperial stables. He has first
rate cook, has cellar which is daily improv-
ing, and he is making money as fast as pos
sible
