THE LWE OF A DRESS
WOMAN’S WILES
LONDON, March 13
“The modern girl wishes to spend a minimum in order to follow every change of fashion. She is very annoyed if her dress is not sufficiently worn out at the end of the season to justify her getting a new one. The manufacturer, seeking a, large turn over, adopts a similar viewpoint.” This statement was made to-day by Mr A. S. Comyns Can-, K.C., before the committee inquiring into the application for a. safeguarding duty on wool textiles. He said that England’s loss of the dress-goods trade, especially to France, was due to the difference in the warp of French cloths, which were generally single-warp. Bradford’s doublewarp, the durability of which was formerly popular, was now a positive disadvantage.
