\u201cSt. Louis, Mo., Dec 14.\u2013 Ruling that male attire was not unbecoming to Mrs. Mary Bertha Schmidt, alias\u00a0\u2018Mister Schmidt,\u2019 judge Hogan, in police court here, refused to fine the young woman who for two years posed as a man and who\u00a0\u2018married\u2019 her cousin, Anna Assade, last October.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018I think you look very nice,\u2019 said the court. Mrs. Schmidt was clad in her neatly pressed trousers and pinchback coat. She explained she had adopted the garments because she could earn $80 a month as a man and $6 a week as a woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u2018If a woman can earn $4 a day by reason of wearing trousers, I say wear\u00a0\u2018em,\u2019 said the court, and\u00a0\u2018Mister Schmidt\u2019 walked out of court with a smile on\u00a0\u2018his\u2019 face.\u201d<\/p>\n
