Recently well known portrait
L. painter was asked: Don't
women ask you to embellish
them with few little partialities when
you paint their pictures? Don't they
prefer a flattering delineation rather
than a portrayal that is too exact? Do
they not, in short, ask you to dissimu-
| late their ages?"
such, indeed, was their desire in
former times" replied the painter, but
today the viewpoint of women has en-
tirely changed. The ladies would rather
be shown with an air of originality or
of intelligence, with all their individual
characteristics. They don't torment
themselves any more about crows feet
and they jest about no longer having
20 years. Men, on the other hand, are
only too sensitive about their double
chinS and know only too we'll which
side of their profile presents itself to the
best advantage. At bottom, they are
the real dissemblers."

Women Fight
For Right to Sit on Bench.
NeueS Wiener Tagblatt, Vienna
The Austrian WomanS Party has
taken up arms against the recently an
nounced policy of the Austrian Judicial
Association that women should not be
placed upon the benches of the nations
tribunals. Women maintain that they
are just as well qualified as men for
these positions when they have COM
pleted legal educations and have prac-
ticed as attorneys for longer or shorter
periods, according to their endowments
and opportunities. They contend that
women, as well as men, can render just
verdicts and guarantee fair trials.
In some cases, such as divorce &C.
tons or cases involving the disposition
or care of children, they are wiser ar
biters than men, possessing, as they do,
far more intimate knowledge and I'M
derstanding of how best the inter-
estS of women and children, too often
weaker parties under the law, may be
preserved.
Judges who are women might be ex-
pected to have more sympathy for
litigants OF their own sex, but 1t Is
