PAPER TROUSERS—£B PER PAIR.
One of the drawbacks to paper! clothing (according to the letter an indignant ’Austrian has sent to hiS newspapers) is that if the wearer sits on a seat in the park in damp weather he will as likely as not leave the seat of his trousers behind him. And even trousers as hazardous as these cost £8 per pair. In Germany so great has become the scarcity of metals that window-fasteners are now to be expropriated, and the confiscation of door handles is to be actively proceeded with so soon as substitutes can be found. In Bavaria even cash registers have been requisitioned. To show the impartiality with which these measures are enforced, it need only be mentioned that the statue of ITS) Kaiser, otherwise the All Highest, at Hiedelburg, has been taken down to turn into gunmetal.
