Show AS TO ENGLISH CLOTHES. In a chophouse near Herald square can be found at lunch every day a little lit-tle coterie consisting of Frederick Latham. Bruce Edwards. Not. Roth and Louis Nethersole. The latter was bemoaning the fact that It would be necessary to have some clothes made in New York, as his wardrobe was getting get-ting In such condition that he could not wait until he got to Kngland to replenish re-plenish it. English clothes!-' exclaimed Mr. Roth with something like a snort. English clothes, indeed! Why. those English tailors cut out clothes with a knife and fork. They take a bag. cut it up the middle, sew It up again and cull it a pair of trousers. That's the wav they make clothes over there." "Well, why is it, then, that so many Americans come back from Ixndon w ith their trunks charged with English clothes?" demanded Mr. Nethersole. To wear fishing, my boy. That- what they get them for, and because they are as you say charged. Men who can pav for their clothes get them In New York." New York Herald. |
