PARISIAN DRESSES.
ALLEGED COPYISTS. AMERICAN WOMEN SUSPECTS. (Received August 11, 10.55 p.m.) LONDON, August 11. The Paris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph says the latest development in the struggle by dressmakers to prevent clandestine copying of new season's models was a raid by the police on the homes of two American women who were suspected of a plot to steal copies of winter modes.
The raiding party included detectives and experts from tho establishments of leading dressmakers. One ol the women admitted that she paid anything from 8d to 17s for a sketch, but maintained that her operations were strictly honourable. Tho American women claim that they are in the habit of buying generously at Paris autumn exhibitions. Parisian dressmakers, however, demand that the alleged copyists shall be expelled from 1' ranee.
