Various means have been tried In the

In general they may be classed as pre-

since suppression necessarily implies

more or less matter Of construction.

MILLINERY IN COURT ROOM
Modern Hats Conceal the Eyes Of
Women Witnesses, so They M
BE Taken OF.

When designing styles in hats pos.
eibly milliners do not consider that
small minority Of womankind tina
likely to appear in law court. Judges.
lawyers and women witnesses would
appreciate 1t II they did.
when a woman under suspicion
takes the oath 1t is desirable to look
her in the eye" said a lawyer, but
how can anybody look into the eye OF
a woman who has on a stylish hat?
The court is In luck II he can see her
mouth and the top end Of her nose.
Also 1t offends the dignity Of the court
for a woman to remove her hat; con-
sequently they founder between the
horns Of a very serious dilemma. An
order to tilt her hat back Is also the
precursor of difficulties, because the
hat Is clamped down with so many
pins that II won't tilt.
Still the eyes Of woman before
the bar of Justice must be looked at.
and under repeated exhortations she
reluctantly removes the pins and
shoves her hat back. But that panto.
mime results in waste Of time and
loss Of temper all around. In order
to obyiate these evils It seems to me
that milliners would bettcf busy them
selves designing a tipab,e hat for
courtroom wear
