LUXURY TAKES
PUZZLE BRITISH
Basis Of Proposed Schedule
Cannot Be Agreed Upon
by Committee.
sp.cia, cor,,spondence TO Tan Sun.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-The luxury tax
tangle continues to be the subject OF
mirthful comment in the House. Mr..
Acland has been trying desperately to
get his teams working together AMIGA
bly,, but the new committee members
in place Of the three women and one
NJ. p. who resigned have failed so Tar
to do any better.
Opinion in the West End inclined 10
the belief that the luxury tax Will Be
dropped, mainly because nobody can
agree a. to the definition of luxury.
One persons luxury. It 10 urged. is an
others necessity. The committees al
ready have rejected a proposal that
price shall govern the question. When
II was proposed that the tax should not
be applied to anything costing less than
ten shillings tho main committee re-
jected 1t and laid Il down that every
thing classcd as luxury must pay
tax of twopence in the chilling.
And they followed It UP by propos-
Ing to tax everything not vitality neces-
snry for the maintenance of health.
Eveu foods came within this category.
The wild rumors about the applSca-
ton OF the tax were responsible for the
wife Of a war rich manufacturer going
into the city one day last week and
paying in cash $1,000 for fur coat
which a few years ago was priced at
1888. II shc had been asked to pay
$4,000 she would have paid 1t.
The day following she secured the
West End. and two days later she had
another shopping expedition. buying up
everything she thought she might want
to wear next winter and laying in
stock Of undertaking sufficient to last
her for years.
Now she is Boosting to her friends
OF her foresight.
The demand by women for luxuries Is
coming Just now mainly from the prov
lnces. and Is having a curious effect upon
city wholesale houses. Fortunes have
been made in the last six months by the
manufacture and sale OF ladies' bags. n
trade which largely Is In the hands Of
aliens
The wholesale trade in women's wear
ing apparel Is moving up west. Just as
the jewelry trade moved from Cheapside
and centred In Regent street and as the
passenger shipping Offices migrated to
or branched off to the West End. The
soft goods trade Is now making the same
journey. Wholesale City houses which
have opened up in the West End are
doing double the business they do In the
city. and more are going.
The days work for the buyers Is now
20 full that much business between buy
ers and sellers is done over the luncheon
table in restaurants which abound in the
West End.
