THE KAISER’S CLOTHES.
MADE BY A LONDON TAILOR. The very latest grievance against the Kaiser is that ho will not employ a German tailor, but lias his clothes made in London. The nobility and all the welldressed men in German society follow his example, so that the native tailors are in despair. They have decided to draw up a petition to the Kaiser pointing out the distressing results for German trade in his Anglomania in the matter of dress. It is just the same with the German dressmakers. Headed by their Crown Princess, the best-dressed woman at Court, the German society women avoid German dressmakers, and send their orders to Paris, Vienna, or sometimes to London. The trouble is said to be that German tailors and dressmakers absolutely fail to give that touch of elegance and finish to their work which is the lnill-mark of Parisian dressmakers and London tailors. The women’s dresses of home manufacture seem out or date and almost ugly, while the native tailors’ products look as if they had been,‘thrown together in a hurry.
