ALL-BRITISH MODEL.
LA MODE ANGLAISE.
LONDON FASHIONS
It 'is an interesting fact that the best dressed men on the Continent have always followed the English cut in clothes. Our tailors have a reputation abroad for the best style and best materials, writes a Londoner. In the matter of feminine apparel, however, Paris for many decades was the centre of fashion. But this is passing, for Paris chic is being successfully challenged by London dress designers. The all-British model is now quite as good as, if not better than, that which comes from the Gay City. And as to the price, the rise in the value of the
franc against the pound has proved a boon to our dressmakers. A great deal of money which once went to France is now spent on London fashions. Here is a practical way for our "women to express their patriotism. Let them insist on La Mode Anglaise. There is no reason now why they should be habited or frocked by the couturieres of other countries. In tact London,. as a fashion mart, is better and cheaper.
