WOMAN IN TROUSERS
CASE OF MADAME MORRIS COURT DISMISSES CLAIM PARIS, 26th March. The Civil Court dismissed the claim of Madame Morris. Tlie Judge was of opinion that, although she was entitled to dress and behave as she pleased as a private citizen, the Sporting Federation was within its rights in contending that such eccentricities and the language used might detrimentally affect girls and young women. Madame Morris, the famous French motorist and all-round athlete, was expelled from the Feminine Sporting Federation because she insisted on wearing trousers on sports grounds, and brought an action claiming £800 damages. Madame Morris, who has worn masculine attire for years, finds trousers more convenient as proprietor of a garage, also when she is engaged in sports.
