SHOULD
WEAR
THE TAGS
DESTINATIONS People
Should Have Cost
on Their Clothes
Why Spend Thousands for
Diamonds or Other Gems,
When Paste Looks
Just as Well

A peculiar custom of the peasantry
in remote parts Of Italy. according to
correspondent is the wearing of
price tags on new dresses and suits
OF clothes. While in most countries
the custom obtains of promptly re-
moving such indication of the pur.
chase price, the moment a garment
is bought. rural folk in Italy take
pains to sew them on the more Sc
curely in order that they may not
drop on accidently. This practice is
INDUCED in by the more prosperous
lpeasantry. corresponding to the we'll
to-do farmer class Of this country
The observer OF the social condi.
tions may well ask why this custom
OF wearing price marks on clothes has
not found favor in this country
where ostentation on the part OF our
new rich" runs riot writes Robert
Webster Jones in the June House
keeper Many a woman OF wealth is
heard to complain that her maid ser.
want. on a much smaller outlay, by
wearing cheap but almost perfect
limitations Of the original. cGn present
as fashionable appearance as herself.
The plush garment OF modish design
often looks as well as the sealskin
costing ten times as much; paste
ornaments cannot be told from dia.
monds. except by the experts. Com.
plant OF the same character is made
by the man who patronizes an ex.
pensive tailor. The great improve
ments effected by the manufacturers
OF ready-made clothing have made IL
possible for the $40 a week clerk TO
appear as well dressed as his s1000-a.
week employer. All this is. OF course
most distressing 10 the person who
wishes TO get the worth OF his or her
money. What is the use OF wearing
expensive clothes II ones neighbors
do not appreciate them? The univeT
sal wearing OF price tags would re-
move this difficulty, and the woman
