The nat may not be new one,
It is of black felt, shadowing and
softening the broad face beneath
1t, and turning up smartly against
the. back Of that scheming blonde
head.
But this simple chapeau, trimmed
with band and ornament of black
grosgrain ribbon is by far the
most becoming affair that has so
far topped the person of the de-
PENDANT Snyder in court.
Clothes retain their psychological
value in bolstering up a woman's
morale, even in such emergencies
as being tried for ones life.
Her Hat May Free Her
Some philosopher said that no
woman ever committed suicide on
her way to buy a new hat.
Will a jury be so imperyious to
the appeal OF fashion. to its line
and lure. as to convict a woman in
. becoming hat?
This is fat mans jury that is
growing (no pun intended under
the cool eyes Of defendant Snyder.
They all look a little overweight.
Galleries in excess, however, create
an amiable feeling toward the
world in general and toward the
Individual in particular.
Fat Man Loves EN- All
Nobody may love fat man, but
the stout man, on the contrary,
loves everybody. His nerves are
well padded and he is seldom ir-
ritable or unkind.
Many people in the throes of re-
ducing find that a change in dis
position takes place simultaneously
with loss of weight.
II the trial lasts urtil summer
and the jury goes into an unhappy
decline through long absence from
home, the final scene in the jury
room may be enacted by IL thin
men, and a harsh verdict returned.
With Ruth Snyder's encouraging
s'chapeaux' and the jurors kindly
calories, the defendant Snyder
should be able to get some amiable
compromise.
