A SHOPPING GUIDE TO PARIS AND LONDON - FRANCES ...

While London is certainly the shopping paradise of men just as Paris has long been acknowledged
the ''paradise of women '' still both cities offer tempting attractions to voyagers of either
sex  and the familiar aphorism  London for men's clothes and Paris for women's '' may
occasionally be reversed. The two cities are not so far apart  despite race prejudices  but
that their standards sometimes overlap. To-day a traveling woman may not deliberately go to
London for French novelties  yet beautiful French blouses and model gowns may sometimes be
picked up there out of season for a song. The choice London shops are  most of them  very small
and since they cannot carry a large stock  things are disposed of for what they will bring when
it comes time to lay in a new supply. The women of Great Britain themselves will tell you that
the time to look for bargains is late June. That is when they contrive  if they buy cautiously
- and what English person does not? - to be in London. June marks the closing of the social
season  [...] This still very interesting shopping guide is a reprint of the originally
published book from 1912.
