The Law on Recent Fashions.

In an indirect way the Supreme Court
Of Pennsylvania has been called upon
to decide tho important question ~ to
whether q woman has any legal right to
wear stays. 1t calamity says she has.
The matter found its way into court af.
ter this fashion
A lady was riding in n horse car. not
crowded perhaps, hut containing ladies'
enough to cover all the seats with their
dresses 80 that this traveller had to stand
up. The car stopped suddenly. and she
fell over. breaking her knee-pan. She
sued for damages. The company claimed
contributory negligence on her part in
that she did not take hold Of the strap
that Is provided for standing passengers.
She set up on the other hand that she
could not reach or hold the strap owing
to the stays which she wore. and that
with the present fashions nc lady could
do so, at least without Inconvenience
and possible injury.
The lower court decided that the lady.
in taking hold Of q fellow passenger's
hand. had done all that was necessary,
and that. under the circumstances, she
was not obliged 10 stretch up to the
strap. II awarded her about 5000.
and the Supreme Court, reviewing the
case. declines TO interfere. 1t is q ques.
