Having Sunk French Critic of American Styles He Invades New York and Is Besieged by Scribes.

AMERICAN MEN BEST . DRESSED, HE STATES Paris and London Papers Enter Into the Debate Criti..cd Frenchman Started all I the Outcry. j i t If you find thine slightly dull and want to start a little excitement just remark to Louli Martin Emooni, tailor, of .this city, that you think the clothes worn by American men are crude then you will get "doings" in largo packages. Mr. Emmons is firmly convinced that Uncle Sam's sons are about the best dressed people on Earth. Mars, Venus (especially Venus) or any other planet In this immediate Vicinity,. : ; Why, not long ago, some foreign clothe sharp Frenchman to be ex act sailed Into New York and boldly announced that American men didn't know the first principals of dressing. Maybe that didn't get a rise out of Mr. Emmons. Ha tent an article to the New York World - that fairly burned the unfortunate' Frenchman at the stake. This article was "played up" by the World la a glittering array of type and New York began to talk. So did London and Farts, because accounts of how Mr. Emmons had sprung to the defense of American dresa and had parboiled foreign styles was promptly ca.bled to those capitals. Then there broketout fierce International war . i of garments. , J .Goes Heavily Armed. Having started something Mr. Emmons was not the man to take to the bomb proofs. Not he. To quote the New York World, which in its most recent article on Mr., Emmons, pub- ' lisbes his picture with a two column title) under a "splash" head. Mr. Em1'mons hurried to New York, , armed ''with dress suit for dinners, a tuxedo for the club, a Prince Albert for r church, aa outing suit and a couple 'of business suits. Arriving there he I took personal command of the Amerlcan forces la the International clothes war. Apparently when Mr. Emmons was not having his pictures taken, at the i request of presa associations, he was l being Interviewed by reporters. Marguerite Mooers Marshall, in the 1 New York World, tella of her interf view with Mr. Emmons In an enterI talnlng style. In part she says: "Da you find that New Yorkers MreaalttHer than the rest of the ' country." I aaked. -The ability to dress well Is a na I tional characteristic." he replied earnestly. "It is lust as natural to one 5 part of th country as to another, to the small towns aa to the large ciues. Why, right out la Richmond I can how you plenty of club men who are aa fine dressers aa any In the land." How could I doubt It with a sample of Richmond's sartorial excellence already before my eyes? I Intimated as much, but Mr. Emmons waved aside the Implied compliment. . . A Mara Wardrobe. . "Ok. I just came on here for a week." he let tall modestly, "and only brought 1 the absolutely necessary things." t "How many T" I prompted. "Oh, only about six suite. I brought nr dress suit for dinners, and my Tuxdo for th club, and a Prince Albert for Church, and aa outing suit and a coafl of business suits. Really couldnt get along with less. "How many neckties?" : "Oh. a dosen or fifteen. I ruess." "Do they always match your hose?" I asked, mindful of A. Reginald yon EaUar'a costume code. "Yes, or else they're white puffs Kk this," explained Mr. Emmons, casually caressing the tie he wore. "This ta extremely convenient for I can wear It with either a business suit or a frock suit" enaaklna of corsets for men. Mr Emmons la quoted by Miss Marshall as saying: -t should like von to nut me down aa saying that American men are tborotiJy sensible la not wearing cor ota.' That la another aillr fore Ira trick. - It la doubtless the result of '-a-tStt-Y'-hav already mentioned the too tight-fitting clothes turned out by farlsB tailors.

A TRADES COUNCIL DANCE ' Labor Day will be celebrated quietly in Richmond and about the only semblance of a celebration will be the display of the national emblem and holiday business conditions prevailing.
