The Washington times., 1918-07-21

New York Supreme Court Justice Mullan
made this comment in the suit which Mr..
Emanuel Kaiser was pushing against his
divorced wife for the custody of their
eleven-year-old daughter Mr. Kaiser's
lawyer had presented in evidence a letter
Mrs. Kaiser had written from Atlantic
City to prove she was inclined TO dances,
bridge parties and late dinners, and was
therefore providing a bad atmosphere for
the child.
After court had adjourned a reporter
asked Judge Mullan If he would go further
and amplify his views as to the change
which of late years has taken place in
women's clothes and habits of social life,
and what significance should be attached
to the changes.
Undoubtedly our wives and daughters
do things and wear things to-day which
our mothers and grandmothers would be
shocked to behold, and the courts must
take cognizance of the fashions and social
customs of the moment and weigh the
significance of changing habits, if sig
nificant they be.
custom temper the administration of the
law? you ask. Most certainly very
simple example will make this very plain.
Twenty years ago no public restaurant
of high standing permitted women to smoke
at the tables. Only women of bad repute
would have attempted a cigarette in public.
Walters were instructed to stop any such
extraordinary exhibition, and city magis-
trates ruled that it was 'disorderly con-
duct and punished offenders accordingly.
But no Judge sitting on the bench in
New York to-day would punish a woman
for smoking in a public dining room. 1t is
no longer disorderly.' The act itself is
no different, but the point of view of the
act is now quite different. The custom has
changed-all our great hotels and restau-
rants permit women to smoke at the tables.
It is no longer true that only women of
bad character smoke cigarettes. A judge
Who failed to recognize this changed con-
dition and adjudged the thousands of re-
spectacle women who smoke at meals as
'disorderly' would be laughed at.
of responsibility who had lived abroad and
wanted, perhaps, cocktail with their cup
of tea found that public sentiment was
against the drinking of cocktails by women
in public Many cocktails were served in
teacups to avoid the frowning stares %
other guests. This point of view has
passed and with it the restrictions of
serving the cocktail unless disguised.
And if women's habits in regard TO
smoking and drinking have changed, so
also have their clothes. l do not attach
the moral significance to the present fash
ions which many do. In the first place,
the women who wear the clothes do not
design the fashions. 1t is true that women
need not wear short skirts above their
boot tops if they do not want to. But the
point is that the woman who wears the
short skirt when the short skirt is in vogue
is not purposely seeking a way to display
her hosiery.
AS a matter of fact she is wearing what
the factory made and offered her for sale,
and her own moral prObity is no less this
year as she walks out of the store with

LIKE AN ELECTRIC
BUTTON ON TOES
Tells Why a Corn is so Painful and
Says Cutting Makes
Them Grow.

Press an electric button and you form
contract with live wire which rings
the bell. When your shoes press against
your corn it pushes its sharp roots dowr
upon sensitive nerve ane you get q
shock of pain. :
Instead of trimming your corns,
which merely makes them grow, Just
slept into any drug store and ask for q
quarter of an ounce of freezone, This
will cost very little but is sufficient to
remove every hard orsoft corn or callus
from ones feet. A few drops applied
directly upon tender, aching corn stops
the soreness instantly, and soon the
corn shrivels up SO lit lifts right out,
root and'all, without pain. The drug
freezone is harmless pnd never inflames
or even irritates the surrounding skin.
