Stealing Dressmaker' 5 Secrets
BY EILEEN ELIZABETH

Certain dressmaking firms will do
anything to almost any expense
TO obtain in advance the secrets OF
the new model which their rivals are
preparing for the coming season. They
often succeed, too, despite the fact that
the greatest vigilance Is always exer-
cised to keep secret the new fashions
which are being devised.
AS each season approaches the fash
ion thieves of London, Paris, ". ",
Vienna and other dress centres are
hard at work trying 10 obtain particu-
lars OF the new dress ideas of various
famous establishments. There are al
ways plenty of INSCRIPTIONS firms
willing and eager to give big prices for
the same. And, OF course, IL a dress
artist has spent endless time and hum
dreds of pounds In perfeeting new
model, 1t IL practically useless Ii some
rival establishment manages to be be-
iorehand with the same design.
Needless TO say, these fashion thieves
must possess plenty or SAVIOR faire,
