tage Of every one Of those aids. | have
even known a man who had a charming
brogue to lug a story in by the hair in
his argument to get in that brogue,
'You do the same thing, my dear young

Personally, although l consider that
comes pretty near 70 being good advice,
I have translated it for my own use TO
mean that the Judge meant that a certain
amount Of fairness should be shown to
the other ser. / think most women lawyers
share this feeling.
For example, in the morning there Is
usually q line Of thirty men before every
clerk Of the court with orders in their hands
waiting for him to get them signed by the
Judges before they can keep their later
engagements. Naturally il is q temptation
when a woman comes in. the only one OF
her persuasion IN the room, 10 take advan-
tage Of this fact, and ignoring the queue
Of mere males hand the order to the clerk
with some whispered comment that she's
awfully sorry 10 bother him, but she must
get 10 court at II.
In all my experience I know only one
woman who has ever broken the unwritten
law that protects the first conner from the
Entertainments Of later arrivals. That
woman simply ignores the presence Of the
others, greets the clerk, has a ready eI-
cuse and gets her orders attended 10 At
once. There is never any overt protest,
but as she goes out Of the room occasionally
one man will say TO another; Isn't that just
like a woman
1T isn't like a woman at all. II il en-
tirely an individual matter, and II that
woman happened to be a man instead Of
a woman she would walk over everybody
in her neighborhood just the same
Men are invariably courteous TO women

rather embarrassing, and occasionally it has
a sting.

on the brink Of asking me a personal ques-
ton and always forbore, when knew that
il he had wanted TO ask a man he would
not have hesitate1. Ono dav his curiosity
