Paris,- Dec. 6.—f The “National Costume” for men, manufactured by the government to combat the increasing price of clothing, made its appearance in the Paris boulevards December 1, as promised by the authorities. The suit is not such as to 4 draw attention of promenaders either by its elegance or its shabbiness, and but for a little strip of linen inside the coat marked “national garment’ ’one would never know that the suit had anything different from others daily turned out by the so-called fashionable tailoringhouses. Wearers of the suits, however, seemed proud to exhibit the inside of the coat to friends and strangers in cases and theatre - lobbies. The suit retails for $ll.OO.
