Dispensing Justice?

In the eardly days of Phoenix
about the turn of the century,
an old-timer was elected justice
of the peace. AS was usual-he
knew no law. When cases were
brought before him, he had a
fine-looking binder inside of
which he fastened a catalogue
and he would get out his volume
with great flourish, thumb over
the pages, put his finger upon a
given point and pronounce judg-
ment.
He did so one day when he had
a man up for trial. Thumbing
over the pages, he put his finger
on point and said, "You are
fined $4.98." The man got up to
expostulate.
''Sit down." hoarsely whisper
ed his lawyer, pulling at his coat
tail. "You're just plain lucky he
turned to pants instead of
pianos!"

NEW YORK, March 8. Mon
sleur Louis, the hair stylist who
originated the feather c u t, page

He thinks all 10 should take an.
other look in the mirror.

is a victim of Hollywood-s vapic
approach to hair styling. Her hail
dressers, they are ignoring hel
personality"
What's wrong with the Duchess

what does she do? She parts her
hair in the middle and sticks it
back severely. Her face, it looks

hair made Louis frown with pro
fessional distaste. He invented the
pompadour, but not for her. And
her evening upsweep increases his
blood pressure.
Those big sausages - rolled
curls to laymen-they would look
better in a delicatessen," he shout
ed. "She has a bad nose. Why
does she draw attention to it?"
Her legs, he admitted, were
