Ladies in Court.

To the Editor Of THE EVENING STAR:
"Pater says: SIT is lamentable spectacle to
see young ladies in the Criminal Court, at the
Gulteau trial, and matter of surprise that any
lady should voluntarily be present where there is
a possibility OF disclosures that would shock the
modesty OF a refined woman" AS well might he
say it Is surprising that any lady should attempt
to travel railroad train where there is 'spos-
sibility" of an accident. Pater must live in the
''rnral district" else he wOnid have known that
the Oliver-Cameron proceedings OF court (and many
other scandal cases. were served at the breakfast
table and In the parOrS OF the rich and poor every
day, and were or the most offensive character,
While as yet the proceedings OF this court have
been without communicating influences. Mothers,
especially, should either hear or read of the IA
natical influences which surrounded the prisoner,
and which he was compelled to submit to by a
parents enforced instruction and belief.
Does Pater think that the young ladies in the
"West End" whom he mentions particularly, are
more susceptible to the possibilities he mentions
than any other young ladiess Why, then, does he
single them out?
Pater ought also to be instructed that the "West
End" and Other young ladies sometimes read
novels OF a vicious character-until midnight
which infuse more poisonous Influences into thsir
character than this trial possibly can.
