Shirt Waists In London.

“Ladles prefer American shirts to English, because the,#ut is so much superior.” So said the buyer of one of the largest wholesale houses in “The Churchyard" to an Express representative on Sunday. "Here is an English shirt—good cloth, well cut, but—l don’t know—there’s something wanting about It. Now, here an American—rotten cloth, not worth twopence a yard, but the style, the set of the wllar— well, the English shirt can't touch it. “There was such a demand for American shirts last year that one firm set apart a large warehouse for them. “Speaking for ourselves, however, this year I am hardly stocking any— the cloth is so bad. “If our makers would only wake up and cut better; they might even Import some American women. If the English can’t do It.”—London Express. It is easy to forgive when you know that there’ll come a day.
