Jurist's Decision
Amazes Modistes
British Judge Rules Husbands
Must Be Consulted on
"Charge" Accounts.

LONDON, April THE leading
modistes of Bond Street, where the
society women of London buy their
dresses. are filled with dismay by
the decision of Justice McCardie. a
bachelor with no special knowledge
concerning women's apparel, that
the tradesmen may not trust" a
married woman for her gowns.
The bachelor justice decided in
the famous suit against the Earl Of
Cathcart that the Countess Of Cath
cart was extravagant in ordering
eight gowns which she charged to
her husband OF that time-they
have since been divorced. He dis
missed a dressmaker's suit against
the earl, saying that the dressmaker
should have asked the earl whether
II was all right to give the count
ess that much credit.
One of the leading modistes of
Bond Street explained that she real
ly couldn't always go to the hus-
band Of a, customer to inquire
whether he would make good his
wfe's financial obligations. Really
II could not be done. The majority
OF husbands most certainly would
be vexed over any such prying bus
iness procedure.
And certainly. all the wives would
be antagoniZed upon being ap.
prised at home Of the dressmaker's
inquiry.
