WHITE WAIST COATS IN COURT
Irish judges Regard Them as rnpro-
fcssionai and Taboo Thorn.


An extraordinary incident took place
recently In nisi prius court No. 1 in
Dublin. While the lord chief Justice
Sir Peter o'Brien was engaged in the
hearing OF an action against the Dub
lin corporation his lordship said he
observed that one of the queens coun-
sci engaged in the case appeared In q
white waistcoat. which was not pro-
fessional costume. The MacDermot.
@. c.. who was Irish attorney general
under the last liberal government and
who was leading counsel for the cOrpo-
ration, thereupon endeavored to cover
the offending garment with his sill,
gown. In reply to the lord chief JUS
tice, Mr.. Roman. Q. c., said that last
week in England n Judge had stated
that he would not hear any counsel
who did not appear in bar costume.
The lord chief justice: And I will no.
hear any barrister who comes into this
court wearing anything that Is unpro-
fessional." The MacDermot said he
had not intended to do anything that
was unprofessional. He had been in
the library and had hurried down. not
having time to change his costume.
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy, Q. c., here handed
a pin to the MacDermot, with which,
amid much laughter. he fastened hls
silk gown in front so as to hide the OBJ
trusive waistcoat from the sensitive
eyes of his lordship.

A story is current in Vienna which
throws n pleasant light on the domes-
tic life OF the German emperor and his
consort. When William II. was stay
ing in Vienna he desired to buy pres
ent for his empress. He accordingly
asked the crown princess to go with
him to one Of the great dressmakers.
OF whom there are SO many In that
city, to help him choose 1t. Naturally
all sorts Of elaborate designs and fab
rics were brought out to show the en-
peror, but they did not please him.
"None of these will do at ALL" said
he; my wife is always in and out of
the nursery and the children would
soon spoil these long trains and tear
the beautiful laces. At last a COM
paratively plain coat and skirt were
chosen and the emperor went of happy
in the knowledge that he had selected
what his wife would really like.
