SHOPERS REVEAL NATIONAL TRAITS
London is at the moment filled with visitors, and it is interesting to read a detailed account of the different nationalities in the shops, says an overseas correspondent- According to the shops themselves Americans are always ready to buy foulard ties and woollen scarves in plain colours or tartan effects. Incidently, all Scottish goods are popular with Americans. Germans like English belts, and both Germans and French people buy lavishly of true English lavender water. Sports clothes of every kind appeal equally to Americans and Continental visitors, for English sports clothes are generally acknowledged to _ be supreme in the world of fashion. Americans, too, buy large quantities of English household linen, generally choosing the more inexpensive damask linen. Curiously enough, they do not seem at all fond of the coloured linens that are at present popular with English women.
