our career thus far; the biggest thing
that has yet been done in the tailoring

Frankly, before We shipped the new
Spring line. some of our best friends
doubted our ability-or the ability Of
any clique or combination in Amer
ica-to entirely cope with the general
Increased price tendency. We were re-
ceiving letters of anxiety in every mail
Keen students Of the tailoring field
not only predicted a rise in wooden
prices this Spring. but looked forward
to these higher prices as a necessary
and inevitable matter of course.
Every trade paper reported the grow
ing famine in dyes and raw material
chemicals. Certain raw stock ingredi-
ents leaped up in cost rs per cent to
l25 per cent. And in the Open market

A good story Is told of Sully. the
painter. One day a gentleman came to
him to say that it would soon he his
wife's birthday and he wished to make
her a present of his portrait. Could
Sully paint it in the time? The gen
tleman went on to say that the gift
must be kept a profound secret.
A day or so later a lady called on
Sully to say that her birthday would
soon be here and she wished to give
her husband a portrait of herself.
Would Sully paint it? The gift. how
ever. must be kept a profound secret.
Sully saw that he was dealing with
the wife of the other sitter. but ac-
copied this commission. too, and for
the next week or so had the greatest
difficulty in keeping husband and wife
from meeting in his painting room.
On the day before the birthday the
pictures were taken to the house and
hung in their appointed places. while
the husband and wife. with extreme
fnesse, decoyed each other away.
The next morning. as may be imagin'
ed. each experienced a rare thrill OF
surprise.
SO They Do.
