ing rapidly. The dignified black is no
longer required.
Of course, the justices, as a rule, wear
dark clothes. And there is q notable
tendency among lawyers of experience
never to appear for argument except
in the black cutaway, with trousers Of
striped dark gray, the necessary dark
neckwear and tall white collar.
But it is matter of choice.
The court functionaries- bailiff, mar
shall, clerk, crier and the others-are
formally CARRIED And the unwary Wis
itor who dares hang an overcoat over
the rail of a vacant seat in front of
him will hear quickly the voice of au-
thority muttering a demand that he
remove 1t.
The lawyers pleading before the court
are as often as not dressed In busi-
ness suits 1t is q matter of courtesy
and sense of the fitness of things
rather than the rule, and the court has
come to excuse failure to dress the part
Of attorneys making their first appear
ance before it.
Why, at one time an eccentric, who
never had worn collar or tie, almost
succeeded In pleading case so attired.
However, he was induced by court at
taches to break lifelong habit prior
to entering the chamber.
But there was a time when formal
attire was absolutely required. It was
only a short while ago that Chief JUS
tice Taft CURLY rebuked one man and
ordered him to stand aside because he
came before the court in sack suit,
without vest and with coat open, dis
playing an expAnse of expensive shirt
fronting.

It was at this point that message

he lifted the curtain that hung over

Five dagger thrusts simultaneously

Henry came from behind the screen.

Everyday Psychology

There are about as many kinds Of

psychological profession as decisions.
During the Middle Ages it was per-

Navigation has proved that the world
is round. No one has found the COR
ners. Any one who has had chance
to learn the facts and still systema-

Closely related to decisions are the
so-called 'ideas of reference" Some
people get the idea that everything the
preacher says refers to them person.

territorial oversight on the part of
neighbors should be interpreted as a
personal slight. There are those who
