CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN—
LACK OF THEM THE WOMAN A young woman who visited a dance hall In Cassel, Germany, with her husband and one of his friends, was asked to leave the place because, in the opinion of the proprietor, her dress was too short. When the woman brought him to court, the proprietor told the judge that some of the visitors had been intensely shocked at the shortness of the dress. Although the woman and her husband and their friend had behaved quite correctly, he was forced to ask them to leave the restaurant. The dress was produced in court and the judge decided that it was a perfect copy of a smart gown shown in a famous fashion newspaper, and was absolutely correct. Several courts had already differed about the case, but at last the wearer has obtained a decision in her favour.
