NEW INDUSTRY.
A year ago there were three or four
"woman's tailors" on and near Fifth ave-
nue., and there was one in Brooklyn. Their
signs read simply Donnelly, Robes" or
| some such legend equally unenlightenine.
And these were not exactly wOman's tailors.
They were simply men dressmaKers, like
Worth in Paris, and were trading on the
popular idea set ahoat by Worth that man
has more taste and originality and bOldness
in designing than women possess, But
now there are twenty-four men dress
makers above Fourteenth street. They
do not adopt the old Shakspearean
phrase, "tne wOman's tailor" but proudly
dub themselves "ladles' talOrs " in letters
of gold and OF boastful dimensions. And
the number is constantly increasing, as one
sees by the little signs the mems tailors are
adding TO their former shingles, so as &c
make them announce, Also, riding-habit'
and costumes for ladies'" In word, the
