OF Any Dre,smaker In the Worid-The
Costumsr's Mistake.
A few la as7 writer hGpIeue,l 10 meet
q very stylish Woman, - Et>e acquaintance he
had the honor to enjoy, and surprising in his
gross ignorance that he WIS SAYING some
thing highly appropriate, suggested that the
gown she wore must be one Of Worth's finest
creations
Worth
1t is impossible to convey the accent of fire
scorn with whi.h She said this
pray lei HE e,lishten You, she sail, PITY
ngly. a Suppose you think Worth Is the
greatest dre>stnaker in the woril
The reporter candidly admitted that he had
supposed taat tn be drapsl by Worth was the
ultimate height Of elegance
Now, You are quite mistaken, my friend"
said his companion. In Paris ANT London
ami Vienna you hear all TIE l'...' Worth
makes for Americans and you riay 30 to
the fines. ball, at the palaeu nf n Ely>,e or
in the Fauhours ~, German AMI ynu
wouldn't tad a single fro,s Of Worth's The
means simply that b. makes for the
trade You never heard Of Sarah Bernhard
or Judic or Croilette in her prime being
dressed by Worth. That, You SEQ. settles it.
These women employ the most artistic dress
makers, and they goto Felix. to Pingat, 10
Corb~y, aud Ia artists like them Worth's
dresses are not Known in Paris except on the
backs Of Americans AMI few English"
@One hears great deal about Worth,
though" the reporter yenturel modcstly
"Of course said Iii, friend HE has nc

y in the wo!li But that proves tina, he supplies
the trade. II You go IA 4 handsome hall in

MAKING FINERy For AMERICANS
"Worth, you must know, Is exceedingly
astute, and h gpga through with very well
arranged fare, requiring 10 h. begged and
implored htor. h" will undertake 70 make
woman gown. Meanwhile he has stacks Of
them which he Is ready Ia sell The Amcrt
cans fell into the trap some years ago and
since then h, supplies them with class Of
things such rs "na buys at any store in Now
York--goodof their kind, but aiapt,l 10 H.,
general trade. Only instead Of the mo-, rate
prices which pr, vail NJ these American places,
the Frcnch-Ensli>hinan charges anything he
chooses and h. always chooses high
The reporter remarked, with incrcasn.
diilidencc, that he had seen good many
gowns from Worth that hc Thought rather
startling-loul, in fact. His friend laughed.
That's just II. Worth imagncs tina, al
Americans love iin.ry, 50 lie loads their

has perfect genius for cloths proplc,ic
that 1t will last without ans important charge
for the next twenty years, simply because Of
its entire convenience, ncatness. and Gppro.
priateness. Here the women bad more nc.
