Some time ago President MADDEN made
a rule in his court that whenever any of the
young blades and the fast girls were found
out driving of nights the blades should be
punished and not the girls. In order to get
rid of this restriction the girls have been
going out in their pony phaetons, meeting
the blades on the outskirts OF town, and
Joining in a social spree together, thus evad-
ing the law. President MADDEN says the
fast women have got to understand that they
must stay at home. Two OF them were fined
s. each for fast driving and disor-
Derby conduct.
