“NEW ZEALANDERS DRESS BADLY” (Special to tho Herald.) AUCKLAND, this day. New Zealanders dress badly, according to Mr. Alexander Marky, an American writer and lecturer, who addressed the Auckland Advertising Oiub vester-’ day. “ Walk down Queen street and you wili find that nine out of ten people have shabby, ill-kept clothes on,” he said. “In America a whole chain of dyeing and cleaning establishments lias sprung up, and because they are able to clean and press your clothes for the equivalent of about 2s, even those people who could not ordinarily afford to buy new clothes luid their clothes cleaned and pressed, and tliey felt better and more prosperous because of it.” It was no answer. Mr. Marky maintained, to reply, “ My father wore the same old clothes and be made his money all right.” Modes of life were changing, and the people ought to pay attention to these things.
