THE DAUGHTERS DRESS BILLS.
Should a father —a company director for instance—be held responsible for his grown-up daughters’ dress bills? County Court Judge Parry had to consider this question when Herbert Collins, Ltd., drapers, Bromley, sued Mr Joseph L. Ffolliott, on Tonbridge, diiector of an assurance company, for £9 17s Gd: for goods supplied to bis daughter. A director of the plaintiff firm stated that Mr Ffoliiott said, after discussion, that his daughters would have to be punished. Mr Ffolliott said In's daughters had the privilege of going to shops for certain things. Any little items that they wanted they could get. His Honor: What is your idea oi little items? Anything up to ~-U0? Witness: £1 to GGs for gloves, and so t>n. Hi s Honor: Ladies want something more than gloves. The Judge said that under the sys.tem on which Mr Ffolliott had arranged matters in the past, like many fathers, he thought the daughters were entitled to think their father would meet the bills. Judgment for plaintiffs.
