TRIBUTE TO THE KINO. BY TAILORS’ MAGAZINE. 2; STYLE AND GOOD TASTE. * jpy Telegraph—Press Assn. —Copyright.) Si, (By Telegraph. — Press Assn.) I (Received Jan. 16, 1.10 p.m.) LONDON, Jan. 15. “The King is the world's bestj; dressed man,” affirms the Tailor and ; ; Cutler, which has frequently been outspoken in its condemnation of the 21 dress of notable people, Including Mr «!Stanley Baldwin, for whom it has a 1 particular aversion. |, “No man has ever shown better 2; taste, and we have a feeling of deep " gratitude for his example In dress. 2, he has always set hls subjects, ’ whether ceremonial, sporting, or for Z everyday affairs.
