Reginald Wallace, aged 29, plead- ed guilty at London Sessions recent ly to 13 counts of larceny, uttering forged cheques, obtaining money by false pretences, and having in his possession a revolver and am- munition with intent to endanger life. He was also found guilty of being an habitual criminal, and was sentenced to four years' penal ber-

itude, to be followed by seven years' preventive detention.

It

was alleged that Wallace stole suit cases or attaché cases from clubs in the West End, and if they con- lained a cheque book the cheques were forged.

crepe collar embroidered lightly in blue.

WHERE THE LAW COULD PROTECT WOMEN.

!

This is contrary to the elemen- tary principles of British justice, which concedes to the worst of women-and men-the right to be heard in their own defence when charges are openly made against

them.

There fort, most people have read with surprise the punishment of the wife of a London man through his will, :

He left her "one pair of trousers, free of duty and carriage paid, as a symbol of what she wanted to wear in my lifetime, but did not."

DRESSING A PERSONALITY,

A great artist told, not long ago how he had suffered in trying to. paint the portrait of a noted American beauty, because the lady persisted in being too faultlessly dressed-from a fashionable point of view."

The incident makes one wonder If the day will ever come when we shall be so independent of fashion, and so strongly individual, that each one of us shall wear exactly what we ourselves, or our most understanding and helpful friend, deciden is the proper gar ment to enhance what we hope in our personality.

Certainly there are hosts of women, now, who never look their best, simply because they do not dreas their personalitics, but the difficulty is to find a dressmaker who is artist enough to drape a soul instead of clothing a body,

What most of us have got into the way of doing now is simply to go into a shop, and try on frock after frock, until we find one that seems to present us to ourselves in a fairly pleasant light.

Therefore, since the law at present cannot help, Parliament should come to the protection of women. Some means, should be devised which would make it im- possible for any womun to be judged by her friends, or the public, solely on the mischievous testimony of a dead witness.
