American women in the length of their
dressInaker's bills Mile Jeanne DUpare
in four years spent $4,000 on dress. This
was found out in a lawsuit which Mile.
Dupare had with her dressmaker for over
charging. This time the bill amounted
to only $4,000, mere trifie, as the French
papers stated. Naturally an expert had
to settle the intricate question. Tho
judges of the court, whose salaries are
only $1,000 year.. opened their eyes at
this expenditure just to adorn a beautiful
woman. They probably are not aware
that Mile. Dupare's understands cost just
$40 apiece, and these are considered too
plain to wear on the stage. Where does
