wouldn't admit IT,
Refuses to Bob Hair.
Not one woman would admit Mrs.
Thompson's charms, though. She
dressed well. She was popular at the
towns leading social events. and prob
ably she would have been the towns
prize beauty If beauty contest had
been held.
Making Mrs. Thompson more unpop-
ular with the women was the fact that
she had refused month after month to
have her hair bobbed. She liked 1t
0ld-fashioned, she seid. And husbands
everywhere agreed with her judgment
carelessiy mentioned the preference in
the presence Of their wives, it later
was revealed.
The climax came when the hus-
bands of Mrs. Mutt and Mrs. Raulston
mentioned their appreciation of Mrs.
Thompson's pretty locks -0ne after
noon soon afterward Mrs. Mutt and
Mrs. Raulston invited their friend,
Mrs. Thompson, into Mrs. Raulston's
house.
AS she stepped into a sewing room
the door was locked. On the table lay
a large pair of shears. Mrs. Raulston,
police say, spoke very slowly and de-
cidedly:
"You have fiirted with my husband
long enough. / am going to fix you So
no man will ever stop to look at you
again"
With this the shears were brought
into play Snip, snip, they went, while
Mrs Thompson's long curls fell off
Her neck was cut. Her hands were
wounded, and her face was scratched
as she fought against the two women
who held her, it is alleged.
Taken to jail.
1t was a sorry looking Evelyn who
ran home to tell her husband what
had happened to her curls. But it was
a s0rrier pair Of women who few
hours later were taken to jail by po-
lice on charges of assault and battery,
The Judge fined Mrs. Raulston $50
Florence Mutt demanded trial at a
later date
While Mrs. Thompson's town rocked
In a bobbed hair WARMTH the flap
pers" belligerently set against the
more conservative women Mrs
Thompson went to Los Angeles and
called at the district attorneys office
Next day Mrs. Mutt was rearrested on
charge OF mayhem. The officer
from the Los Angeles office went to
Mrs. Raulston's home to arrest her on
the slime charge But he was told she
had gone to India. where her hus-
band took job rather suddenly"
