A Judge In Cleveland OF the name OF
Keeler says that all women are cats.
The judge was presiding at a divorce
trial. as he has presided at many former
ones. and had to clear the courtroom OF
curious women. In giving the order he
alsogave some personal opinions, among
others that women would turn on their
best women friends and scratch them.
He said that women were always walt
ing for a chance to criticise their ac-
ouaintances. However that may be.
Judge Keeler seems not lacking in the
critical faculty himself. and. while It is
hardly the province OF judge to have
opinions. It is certainly out OF place
for him to express them while execut-
ting his official duty.
A cat is an animal which is credited
with being both treacherous and ma.
ncious. Some cats are. just as some
men, even learned judges, have been,
but all cats are not. People who refer
to treacherous OF malicious women az
cats are nature fakirs pure and sim
pie. When cat dlslikes an individual
It shuns him with great pointedness
and persistence. IL after that The
friendly one is scratched he has nc
one to blame but himself.
As to women being treacherous IN
their friendships, so are many men
Treachery, too. is not an exclusively
feminine vice. Judas wasn't a woman
There have been many faithful
friendships between women, but in thu
past the sex has been kept too bus,
dancing attendance on the whims anS

tiers to make much Of a speciality o
friendship. 1t is possible that the in

Judge Keeler against the real wortl
and whOlesomeness Of the vast major
ity OF women. who fortunately neve
require the services Of a divorce judg
and have no interest in his court o
opinions.

Lexington avenue, New York. Th
school was founded by Mrs. Dunla
Hopkins and aims to educate youn
women artists in making a practic'
application Of the principles Of art. Il
graduates become designers OF wall p

have been graduated from this schoC
