Detroit Free Press.
In driving out into the country on

ago, q Detroit lawyer encountered
horse and buggy driven by woman.
As she was driving on the wrong

not to give up bis rights As con-

at the woman, and the woman started
back. Then be pulled newspaper

In minute she had ber knitting ont
and was industriously at work Ten
long minutes in broiling sun passed
away and the lawyer looked up and
asked:
How long are you going to stay
here 2"
"How long are you ?"
"AlI day"
"And iii stay here whole week. I"
He read and she knit for another
ten minutes and then the lawyer call
ed out:

The Limits Of a Laay's Neck.

That it is awful for lady to wear
q low-necked dress at ball is con-
ceded, says the New York Tribune,
but it has long been felt that an au-
lucrative definition of the limits of
the territory known as the neck is
needed How far does the feminine
neck extend, and precisely where
does it become merged in the c0ntig0-
GUS territories of back and bosom
Men, of course, know nothing as to
this matter, and women seem to know
very little more. Something in the
nature of boundary commission,
with power to make an exhaustive
survey, is clearly needed. At last
we are about to have this important
boundary question settled by judi
cial decision. A young lady wearing
low-necked dress was recently ex-
PEELED from ball by the managers,
on the ground that her dress was too
low. She appealed at once to court
tor redress, and the court will have to
decide how low o low-necked dress
may be worn, or, in other words,
what are the precise limits of the
feminine neck. With the methods by
which the court will arrive at its de-
cision, we have no concern. 1t is
evident, however, that the court win
have to appoint commission Of ex-
perts, who will make survey and fix
boundary which, in their opinion,
should be adopted as the southerly
boundary of neck Such report,
properly illustrated with topograph-
ical map, would give the court snfii-
cient data on which to base decision.
At any rate, decision will be made.
and we shall soon know the true ex.
tent of neck, and shall be able to de-
eide at glance whether any given
low-necked dress keeps within the
territorial limits; or whether it unlaw-
fully encrcaches upon territory not
appertaining to neck.

Republican simplicity ia wash-
ington.

The Constitutional requirement that
Congress must give its consent to the
acceptance of foreign presents or honors.
is an evidence of what foreigners call
our republican simplicity. This spirit
of simplicity" pervades all our instr
tutions. The people are not disposed
to forget that they are the real sover-
eign. and they require that tho man
agement of their affairs shall be open
to inspection. The citizens from the
backwoods of the West, and the citi-
zens from the classic streets of Boston,
may wander about the halls of govern
ment with equal freedom and impuni-
ty. The only restriction arc those of
prudence or necessity. An American
should not complain because he is per-
mitted to roam through the vaults of
the Treasury only under the escort of
q guide. Ii he wishes to near the de-
bates of Congress, a seat in the gallery
is at his disposal.
That we find s.red tape" and exceS-
Sive dignities in some of our official
circles, concede; but these are triiies
as compared with the tedious formali-
ties and pomp of other lands. Indeed,
it is only by such comparison that you
can properly estimate these features of
American equality.
Here we nave no long line of SER
wants in livery and soldiers in uniform

riage, drawn by two very ordinary
horses. have seen President Grant
gazing at the pictures in the Capitol,
and sauntering up the Avenue with the
crowd, quite unpretentlous, and un-
concerned-esen stopping to inspect
the articles in snow-window. And
justices of the Supreme Court and con-
gressmen are as frequently encoun-
tered, and are as easy of address, as

their daily promenades ON that great
