HOW MANY STITCHES IN SUIT7
Some Patient Person over In England
Has Estimated That They Num-
Der About $4,000.

There are approximately $4,000
stitches in the average mans suit Of
clothes, according to an announce
ment recently made in an English pa
per by some amazingly patient and
observing person, presumably tailor.
This result is reached by the follow
ing calculation:
To the average-size pair of trousers,
5000 stitches are allotted. OF this
number about $500 are machine
made, the rest being made by hand,
chiefly in the form of finishing work
to the waist, pockets and turn-ups, or
"cuffs."
In the vest or waistcoat there are,
he declares, roughly, $500 stitches.
The percentage of handwork Is higher
in this garment than in the trousers,
the lining usually being put in entire
ly by handmade stitches, as well as
the finishing work. The figures are
S,40O machine~ and 2,1OO hand
stitches.
But it is in the coat that the big
totals come. In that garment, he says,
there are, on an average, 10000
stitches. The pockets and the large
number Of seams account for much
machine work, while the lining and
refnishing entail many handmade
stitches. OF the latter there are more
than 5000 in the average coat. There
are also to be taken into considera-
ton the lacking and fitting Stitches
which, as above announced, brings the
total up to something like round
45,0O0

BRILLIANT PLAY AT THE LIBERTY

BRILLIANT PLAY AT I HE LIBERTY
 The film play from the famous novel '"The Leopard Woman" by Stewart Edward White, will be at the Liberty Theatre tonight It is seven reel feature and is considered master piece. It embraces every appealing charm of a love story (exeept the rus tic, gawky kind), combined with diplo- matic intrigue and oriental splendor.
 "The Leopard Woman" Oouise Glaum) brilliant, beautiful, passion ate young woman, is the secret envoy of a foreign power that seeks to gain control of an African kingdom. She is to assist the emissray of her country to gain entrance and influence in the kingdom before the representative of the British government does so. She and the representative, House Peters, match wits in deadly strife, which oddly engenders in them a passionate love which they vainly fight against. This elemental love passion in the girl resembles the cruel, fierce, hot na- ture of the leopard, hence the name of the play. The girl lives in Oriental luxury in Africa, holding little court of her own, wherein the warmth and passion of the tropics have full sway. A stirring play for grown-ups.
