The difference of opinion existing between the opposite sexes about the value of women's apparel was well illustrated in the Magistrate's Court in Wellington recently during the hearing of a case in which theft was alleged. Asked what value she placed on a cape, which she stated had belonged to her and she had missed, a witness for the police said that it was part of an imported frock, and was worth £2. Counsel for one of the defendants said, "A man would say it was worth about Is." Mr J. S. Barton, S.M., remarked that if a man had any knowledge of the subject concerned, he would know that the cost was in inverse proportion to the amount of material in a garment.
