WHAT IS A JUMPER ? JUSTICE LUSH'S DEEP" DISTRESS-
What is a jumper? Is it a costume P. Why do they call jumpers jumpers? What is-lingerie
Mr. Justice Lush, almost pathetically, asked these questions in the King's Bench Division recently when he was asked to decide whether jumpers come under" dress-making" or "millinery.""
His Lordship throughout seemed puz zled by the technical terms used by the dressmaker und milliner concerned in the case, and after aking counsel whether a jumper was a costume, added pathetically, You can't expect me to know, can you?" The plaintiff, in the case was Mrs. Noel-Dyer, of Brighton, a dressmaker of twelve years' standing.
The defendant, a Miss Paver, was milliner, who also has a shop at Brighton.
The dressmaker used to sell hats as side fine, and the williner had a side line in frocks and jumpers. Some little time Mrs. Nool-Dier took' & ago, however,
showroom and workshops at Miss Tavey's premises, The terms of the agreement, said counsel, were that the milliner should give up selling frocks and the dressmaker give up selling hats. Mrs. Noel-Dyer now asked for an injunction and damages for an alleged breach of this agreement. Each young woman, added counsel, "hasertel that jampers came within her particular province, They got on well together at first bit afterwards there was friction,
The Judge-Is not a blonec or a jumper, a costume or gown?.
Mr. Duakels (for the milliner)~A gown is something by which, if you cover your body with it, you will be respectably attired. A costume is a two-piere con- struction, cont and skirt. A gown is in one piece.
The Judge-A to ulinery and dress making, what am I to decide? I think a jumper is a bit of both ?
Mr. Rowlands, Then you will have to consider whether the milliner, in letting the premises, undertook not to sell jumpers. Mrs. Noel-Dyer, in the witness-box, said a-bathing dress was a costube.
Counsel said he thought in these days it ps no costume at all.
The Judge-Why are jumpers called" jumpers?
Airs, Noel-Drer--They used to be called Garibaldis-(Taughter).
The Judge-I thought it was a corrup- tion of something-(Laughter.)
The price of jumpers was the next subject of the Judge's curiosity. At this stage the Judge suggested that the dia patants should come to terms. If he settles the question of what is a jumper for them, be pointed out, then there would be troublé orer some other article that women wear. Their agreement had still two years to
-run.
Counsel had a consultation with their clients, which filed
MYSTERY MASCOTS.
STRANGE SCOTTISH HEIRLOOMS.
Scotland has many mascot heirlooms very old, mysterious, and interesting.
Among them is the fairy flag of the Macleods: Tradition has it this flag was actually given by the Queen of Fairies to an old-time chieftain of the clan." miraculous assistance got through the use of it is, however, restricted to three times; and when it is used for the third time, ict unly does the ensign vanish; but its owner as well. Twice already in the bis- tory of the family has it been put to the test, and on neither occasion has failed.
The
to bring success. Once when in a battlo the Macleods, overpowered by numbers, were being defeated and slaughtered, and, again, when some generations ago the direct line stood in great danger of dying out through lack of an heir. Its owner, Macleod of Macleod, will be wary of the third use of it!
Again, the Lockharts of Carnwath, in Lanarkshire, have since the times of the Crusades owned a small silver Sararen coin or token known as the "Lee Pennq." It is rigorously guarded-as & family heirloom, is credited with occult powers, and bas been handed down generation to generation with its secret divulged only to the heads of the family,"
IN
There is also the well-known Lion of Glamis," an heirloom of the Strathmore family. It consists of an ancient loving cup in the shape of a lion, rampant and richly chased, and is used with much old- world ceremonial on "great occasions. It is kept jeolously at Glamis Castle, where is a mysterious room, the secret of which is known to only the head of the family, the heir to whom it is revealed, when he arrives at age, and the agent or steward who accompanies them into the secret: chamber wherein the revelation is made. None has fathomed this mystery, though many have tried.
Another Scottish heirloom of fate is the ran called Coalstoun. Pear now, through marriage, in the possession "af Earl of Dalhousie
Tradition has it that an ancestress when on her way to church to be "married" was stopped by her father the "Gifford War lock of Sir Walter Scott's" Marmion," and be called on her to halt beneath a heavily-laden pear tree. He then Mucked a pear and gave it to his daughter, the bride, with the promise, that as long as it should be kept whole and uninjured bor descendants would prosper
and flourish. As he was generally, credited With possessing all the supernatural powers of a wizard, the pear was trea sured very carefully as an heirloom.
It is also said that in the seventeenth century the appetite of an overwhelming curiosity and scepticism led one of the Indies of the family to taste of the for bidden fruit, and, as is known, great troubles assailed the family in those für off times of chop and change. Since then the slightly defaced mascot has been trea sured in a silver casket.
