Show Student Economy Causes Oxford Tailors to Close Oxford, England. Notwithstanding the rage among Oxford students for "elephant leg" trousers, which are considerably con-siderably more loose and roomy than the bloomer effect worn by the United States navy sailors, the boys here are buying fewer clothes than formerly. Three long-established tailoring firms, one of which had been in business nearly a century, have gone out of business lately because, It was said, they could not make a living. The boys haven't got the money they had In other days to spend for clothes, aver the tailors. The students wear knickerbockers a great deal, one or two suits for the season, and cannot afford to have a different suit for every occasion, as a great many did before the war. |
