they are much more comfortable to
wear than the more imposing sort Of
wig.
The wig worn by a criminal judge
is distinguished from that - The JUDGE
OF civil court by small patch Of
black hair set in the top
The wigs worn by barristers contain
less horsehair and are decidedly neat
er-looking than those donned by the
judges. When barrister attains to
the dignity of putting the letters K.C.
after his name. he is entitled to wear
two additional curls on his wig to dis
tinguish him from his brother barrist-
ers.
The wig OF an ordinary barrister has
two little longitudaI curis over each
ear; that of kings counsel has three
rows over each ear. 1t Is but seldom
that y barrister is allowed to speak I'M
less he is wearing his wig and his
gown.
The gown worn by legal dignitaries
vary as much as do their wigs.
a High Court Judge wears gorgeous
robes made of silk. trimmed with err
mine, costing anything from $50 to
100. On state occasions the High
Court judge carries a three cornered
hat, but this is never worn by him.
A KC's gown is of black silk, but
an ordinary barrister is not permitted
TO wear a silk gown. His is made of
alpaca. or some such material known
in the legal profession as stuff"
When a barrister has been made a
kings counsel he is called Silk
Tit Bits.
Why We Look to Paris.
When in Paris, it is not difficult to
see why all the world should look to
Paris for the fashions. The French
are artistic in pre- eminent degree.
Not all the people in Paris are i'm
pure and degraded in their lives. When
travellers go to Paris. they frequently
look for what is bad, and it is not far
to find indeed it is very difficult to
walk the streets without seeing and
recognizing it everywhere. But there
are good people even in Paris. and
many of them, and the good people are
Just as artistic by nature, and infin-
itely better qualified to set the fash |
ions than the prOfessedly degraded |
who do set the fashions. Those who |
set the fashions do not claim to be
pure in their thoughts. clean in their |
ives. or modest in what they wear. |
The drapery of the women is designed |
" intended to proclaim their occupa
lion, make a strong appeal to men, |
and to influence trade. The whole |
world knows that they belong to the |
prostitute class and yet the whole |
world is willing to accept their lead |
md pure minded and virtuous women |
everywhere are willing to accept for |
he form of their apparel, gowns and |
lraperies which are designed to pro-
lain to all upon the street that the |
party who wears it has planned it |
With a special view of suggesting evil, |
md with a view of beguiling the OPP
oosite sex.
What we need upon the part of the
women of the United States, and of
every other civilized country, is
strong and united protest against the
adoption upon the part of those who
tx the fashions for each land, of the
styles of the prostitute classes of
Paris. What we need is a demand that
instead of this degraded form of cloth
ng, we should have submitted for
he adoption OF the women of this
and that which is worn by modest,
leeent, self-respecting women in
Paris.
We do not object to importing our
fashions from Paris, but we do object
o importing the fashions of the most
lebased. and morally most degraded
let of people in France. There is no
objection to that which is artistic and
beautiful, but there is serious objection
