Now it appears the flower blanket
story is all IA canard.
1t was a contemplate canard, to be
sure. The florist who started it ought
10 be kicked. He is evidently more Of
fensive than yellow dog with no tail
and only one ear. But that does not
excuse the ridiculous and cruel assaults
that have been made on Mr.. AsToR,
without waiting to verify the truth Of
the story. While many things come up
in our daily round that we feel justified
in considering it our business TO mind,
we may well pause lest we indulge, too
much, our prospensity to go off at half
cock.
incidentally, we are glad that The
NEWS, though strongly tempted, has
had nothing to say on this subject up to
the present.
The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1895-02-07
At HALF COCK.

1t is, perhaps, strong trait Of human
nature in general TO go off at half cock.
Most Of us like to complain and scold.
We fiikg TO feet intense. IL there is
muss in progress we like to be in it and
get in our lick. And we do not always
wait TO learn whether the complaint,
the scolding, the intensity and the lick
are justified or not. At the opening of
the opportunity we jump in and have
our fling. We assume that If our neigh
bor scolds we ought to get to scolding,
too, right off. When somebody fires
brick, lots of bricks are likely to be
hurled in the same direction, on the as
sumption that the first brick is justified.
We go off az half cock.
This interesting trait is illustrated
with extraordinary force in the general
outcry that has swept over the country
against the extravaganza and vulgarity
OF the placing of blankets of roses and
lilies Of the valley on the grave of Mrs.
WALDORF AsToR TO the amount of
$40, ,OOO-ope blanket day. at cost of
500 each, until the appropriation should
be exhausted.
We venture TO say that hundreds Of
columns of newspaper space have been
devoted TO criticism OF this supposable
expression of grief Oh the part of Mr..
WILLIAM WALDORF AsToR. Even the
magazines took mp the matter for dis
cussion. Of course unfavorably to Mr..
AsToR These critics INDUCED in vitu-
prration or sneers, according 20 their
bent. The sfcry crept into capital VS..
labor discussions and into articles CON
sidering tne destitution in Nebraska and
the condition OF the striking trolley car
employees in Brooklyn. 1t aroused a
storm Of disapproval over the length
and breadth Of the land, and even
abroad. and Mr.. AsToR was held up as a
spectacle of a vulgar fool, or vile per-
son seeking a wicked no,oriety ON ac-
count Of his riches

A CHANCE FOR WOMEN.

We have often wondered that young
ladies employed as typewriters in the
offices of counsellors-at-law did not take
advantage of their opportunity TO study
law and gain admittance to the bar.
With young men, employment in
whatever capacity in lawyers Office
often proves the open sesame to career
at the bar. Since women have become
part of the human furniture of law
offices it seems to us that they ought to
find very good opportunities for study
ing law with view to ultimately prac-
tising law. AS stenographers and type
writers it would seem that bright
young woman has an unusual oppor-
tunity for gaining familiarity with
legal forms and with the laws
themselves, while the scope of
their sphere of duty as appren-
tices, or law students, is indicated by
the recorded fact that in New York city
recently an attorney sent the young
person of his Office to the court to ex-
plain why he was absent from the case
that he was down for on that day.
:" Your Honor" explained the young
woman, Lawyer F. asks to have
the case postponed because he is confined
to the house with cold. Your Honor
will readily understand thatit Mr.. F.
simply had cold, would not ask that
you postpone the case. But he has that
and more-he has the grip"
The case was adjourned, of course.
And the incident demonstrates that il
the young woman in the lawyers office
is so disposed, she may be utilized, just
as thousands of prominent lawyers have
been in their student days, to carry the
messages and do the many services that
appertain to the transactions of law
Office, and SO, not only attend to the
duties of type-writing and stenography.
of themselves educational, but in other
ways prepare themselves for career at
the bar.

smart young men. The judges decided
in the affirmative.
