BY MILTON BRONNER
While it has always been true that cats could look at kings, the workingman generally has found It difficult to get a hearing in the high places. That's because cats can't embarrass the throne with urgent and unusual requests for assistance or succour.

Canterbury.

TURMOIL AT THE COURTS
Paris The Paris Bar I in a turmoil. Elderly. barristers and judges are really disturbed by the growing attractiveness of the wo- men lawyers. It was bad enough to be obliged to suffer the encroach- imen of the fair sex on the Law Courts preserves.
Year by year the invasion has continued, and now, according to the complaints of their masculine colleagues, the girls contrive to de- feat the austerity of their black robes by all the well-known artif- ces of their sex. They use their charms to collect briefs and win cases, and at the same time destrov the peace of mind of impressionable Judges and barristera. In fact they have become much too allur- ing.
Alarm is felt at the daring with which these fascinating and painted Portlas accentuate their attractive- ness. There is criticism of the dainty red, blue or white shoes which flash gaily beneath a black toga; of painted fingernails showing against bundles of papers waved In the air; of beads and bracelets and other bangles; of powder-puff and lipstick flaunted at every mo- ment. And then, it is complained, an artfully unbuttoned robe. ex- posing a bit of coloured silk or feminino akin, is apt to cause the attention of the court to wonder from the case in hand.
The other day a judge noticed that the pretty blonde pleading before him was the same young woman who, only a week before, had appeared in the same court as a brunette.
"Something must be done," the male members of the profession are anying, "to check this ten- doney. The dignity of the Inw must be uphold."
So the authorities are being asked to make stricter regulations to this end.
