Now it comes out why manikins in store windows and the
figures in fashion plates and clothing ads are so unhuman
;...d often ugly. The explanation follows so long after the
icc map it iooks as ir it naa oeen maae up 10 answer puzziea
Questioners. Paris fashion dictators and dressmakers say
t'l.at if the lay figures on which they display their choicest
c. cations were beautiful, prospective buyers would be fright
oned aay. They would think the figures enhanced the
feovns and take it for granted that the costumes could not
i-jsibiy look so well on themselves. But the ugly lay figures
uclI act nothing from the charm of the gown and lead the!
piospective customer to remark, "If that gown is so good
iOjking'on that dummy, how lovely it would be on me!"

lerence, that-i is an imjortaiit factor in our futui-c attitude
toward killers.
The public, which is supposed to make the laws and pro
vide the loopholes by which criminals may escape justice,
generally considers insanity the last resort in a murder
case, and has a very vague opinion on specific insanity and
the individual's 'lack of responsibility when insane.
Most of us agree with many eminent criminologists when
they say that any murderer is suffering from insanity at
the time of the crime. But should that fact, or a jury's in
teiprctation of it, determine what should be done -with the
; murderer?

The important consideration, it seems lo us, is the crime
in (uostion and the menace to society indicated by that
