Women and Umbrellas.
Long-continued observation has con-
vinced the Boston Globe that the well
fare of society demands Immediate
consideration OF whether women should
be allowed to carry UNI brcllas. It may
be urged in defense of continuing the
privilege that to refuse it would be in
violation Of the inalienable right Of the
| pursuit of happiness. But If q woman
gets any happiness out OF knocking oil
peoples hats and gouging out their
| eyes, to say nothing Of tangling up the
| points of the Umbrella ribs in the hair
of other women, she ought to be in
| duced either by moral suasion or legal
compulsion to pursue happiness in
some other way. 1t is q we'll recog-
nized principle that the rights of one
| person end where those of another be-
gin, and since woman appears to be
unable to keep her umbrella out of the
Corporate limits Of other people it is
quite evident that she shouldbe limited
i'll the ex,'rc SC Of her right to carry um-
| brcllas to tic desert Of Sahara, the al
| kali plains and the Russian steppes. Ii
IL woman were capable of being edu-
| ca:ed iii the proper carrying of UNI
| 'brellas there would be some hope that
| with the process OF education and do
volopmcut she might learrrto WELD her
present death dealing instrument above
, The danger-line. But it IS a physical
impossibility. She is born that way.
She can no more carry an umbrella as
1t ought to be carried than she can
throw stone without those indiscriba-
Bile gyratiOns, or catch q ball when she
doesn't wear an apron. It is too true,
but she must accept the consequences,
just as she must accept the consequen-
ces OF not being able to throw ssraig
the Inevitable consequence Of never hit
ting ything- This being true, and
moral suasion having failed to bring
about the desired end, nothing remains
but to protect the hats, eyes and hair
OF the community by legal means.
And it will be seen at once that this is
