BEAUTY BUSINESS.

(Per United Press Association'). CHRISTCHURCH, March 27. The secrets of the beauty business were divulged to still greater an extent at the Magistrate’s Court this morning, when the hearing of the case Eva Mabel Emerson v Hemsley Burnett, Ltd., was continued. Mr H. W. Bishop, S.M.,Was on the bench. , , Plaintiff claimed £25 (premium paid to defendants to learn the business), and .£25 damages. She alleges that she was not properly taught.' as the agreement provided. The case was adjourned from last Monday when it was ascertained that Mrs Emma Barrett was the principal party in Helmsley, Burnett, -Ltd. Evidence was oriyen by. the defendant, Barrett, and others, and the case closed. His Worship said that up to a certain point he was entirely against the defendant, who had clearly, nfat fulfilled her part of the contract, but after the contradictory evidence of that day he wanted to consider clearly. As a mere man, he had to decide whether these switches and other “what-yon-may call-’ems,” were made by plaintiff or not. It seemed to him an extraordinary thing when people, especially women, came into Court and said what they had said. It was very unpleasant; someone was lying, and it-was for him to say whom. Judgment, would be reserved.
