PETER'S Correspondence COLUMN I've had to hold over quite a number of inquiries this week, so don't get ruffled if yours is not amongst this lot — it'll appear next Saturday. NEOPHYTE.—You're quite right, a Dinner Suit is in order for the function you mention. In fact, if general usage is any criterion, a Dinner Suit may now be worn on almost any social occasion. You must not wear a white tie and waistcoat with the Dinner Jacket, though. I'm making them up for Eight Guineas, in fine all-wool Pinhead, with best silk facings. CACTUS.—George fell off the ladder into the shrinking tub (where I shrink my materials) when I told him your joke. But, really, Cactus, your poetry's—er—over ripe. I know my Fiver Suits to order arc good enough to make anyone feel enthusiastic, but why poetic? Thanks, all the same. ELLERSLIE. — You shouldn't have backed him —no good putting your money on "has beens." Same thing with tailors — what's tho use pinning your faith to a tailor who was a favourite 20 years ago. Pick the best Tailor in Auckland to-day, put a Fiver on one of his made - to - order Suits, and you'll draw a sure dividend. (P.S. —Need I mention that I am the best Tailor in Auckland?) CHICAGO. —Yes, I've been making quite a few pairs of Trousers in the American style lately—the pleats in the band make them hang nicely. No, I make no extra charge for it—Bame old Fiver does the trick. INTERESTED. — Of course, I make more expensive Suits, but the price is governed solely by the cost of., the material. You get the same Petermack cut, style, and finish in my Fiver Suits that I put into the most expensive ones. SCEPTIC. —A Pessimist is a man who wears a Belt as well as Braces. Certainly, I am an optimist, but I back my optimism with performance. I'm optimistic enough to guarantee that I'll make you the smartest Suit you've ever worn for a Fiver, and you're safe in relying on my optimism, because if you're not satisfied with the Suit when it's finished you don't take it.
