RAID ON COPYISTS.
[BY CABLE—PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
LONDON, August 11.
The “Daily Telegraph’s” Paris correspondent states': The latest development in the struggle of the dressmakers‘to prevent the clandestine copying of the new season’s models is that the • police raided the houses of two American women, who were suspected of aplot to steal copies of the winter modes.
The raiding party included detec- . tives and experts from the leading dressmakers. One woman admitted that she had paid anything from eight pence to seventeen shillings for a sketch, but she maintained that her operations had been strictly honourable. The women claim that they are in the habit'of buying generously . at the Paris autumn exhibitions. The Parisian dressmakers demand that the alleged copyists shall be expelled from France.
