The Paris correspondent of the “Daily Telegraph" states that the latest development in the struggle of dressmakers to prevent the clandestine copying of their new season’s models, was that the police raided the homes of two American women, who were suspected of a plot to steal copies of the winter modes.
The party included detectives and experts from the leading dressmakers. One woman admitted that she paid anything from 8d to 17/- for a sketch, but maintained that her operations were strictly honourable.
The women claim that they are in the habit of buying generously at the Paris autumn exhibitions, but Parisian dressmakers demand that the alleged copyists should be expelled from France.
