The progress of the times has brought
up new problem for the society
papers, namely, what it is proper for a
woman to wear when she goes into court
to prosecute her petition for divorce
Deep mourning, to signify her grief al
the wreck of her life? or half mourning
to indicate that her grief is tempered by
hope? or joyous apparel, Symbolizing, as
it were, the prospect of re-created bliss
beyond the shadow? 1t is singular that
a matter of so nearly universal interest
as the question what is good form on
such an occasion has been neglected sc
long. But it won't do TO let it go any
longer-at least, not in Maine.

One of the coolest things that has
appeared during the summer season is
the suit brought by Miss Mae G. Wood,
already of more or less notoriety,
against Senator Thomas c. Platt, for
$4,000. The services alleged, for which
the suit is brought. are for clipping
OFF, to the senator the inside workings
of the post office department while Miss
Wood was an employee there. Possibly
such claim may be legally collectable,
though as to its moral status there could
be no question. If the suit is not unique
in the courts of the world, it certainly
ought to be.
