JEWELED PISTOL FAD ~
STRIKES PARISIENNES
Every Woman Accused of “Crime
Passional’’ This Year Ac- '
‘quitted—Press Is Cynical.
PARIS /N.A.N.A.) .—There la another
new Invention to meet the demands of
modern women, the Jeweled pistol. Walk
down the Rue da la Palx and you will
see many gorgeous examples of this In
dispensable adjunct to the "crime pas
sionel.” There mafleme may select a
delicately lacquered automatic or the
most exquisite pocket revolver cased In
onyg and diamonds. Madame may even
get her prospective victim to buy It for
her.
The press is cynical. It reminds
Parisians that in the first six months of
this year there have been no fewer than
34 cases of crime passionel in France
and in every case where the woman whs
the murderess she was acquitted.
This has produced smew Joke. The
humorist Imagines the fashionable
French ladv entering the shop and ask
ing for a revolver. "Here you are," say*
' the gunsmith, “only 500 francs. Oh,
replies the surprised fair customer, “X
only wish to hire. I thank you. After
my acquittal I will return it to you.”
