A salary of £15,000, plus commission, with holidays four times a year, includsix weeks in the summer, fifteen guineas expenses daily for fashionable race meetings, and expenses for four visits to Paris yearly for a week each, six gowns a year, averaging £25 each, were among the terms on which Paquins (Ltd.), West End dress makers, engaged a dress designer named Mrs Eox Pitt in 1923, but cancelled it it a moment’s notice in 1925, the directors alleging that she secretly charged _ five apprentices a premium of £2O in addition to £3O each which the firm charged. Mrs Pitt asserts that the directors assented to her charging the extra £2O for distribution among the supervisors to induce them to teach the apprentices thoroughly.—Sydney Sun Cable.
