KANSAS CITY, MO.—The Brothers Jackson—Davis and Edgar—said "Good morning, judge," for the first time in their lives when they were presented to Judge Burney in the North side municipal court the other morning.
An undignified charge of mashing was against them. When they were arrested the day before coming out of a Main street store they were clad in tight-fitting black suits with narrow pencil stripes. They wore the latest style of tall pearl gray hats and deep pointed collars. At police headquarters a stick of rouge was found in the possession of Davis, who is nineteen years old.
Edgar, a year older, carried a face powder box and a chamois skin with a fringe of lace around it, a carmen hue in the center. The amazed policemen at headquarters searched them for mesh bags, but didn't find any.
In police court the two, slightly rumpled after a night in jail, viewed the cosmetics in surprise.
"My goodness, judge," protested Davis, "that rouge belongs to my sister, and I just happened to be carrying it."
"And that powder rag and powder is what I use after shaving," Edgar said. "Heaven knows, we all use powder."
"And as for flirting, we know those girls perfectly well," Davis explained.
Judge Burney gave up. "I'll fine you $25 apiece," he said weakly. "There are some things that even a judge doesn't know how to handle."
