Massachusetts Supreme Court RuIec
 They Can Wear Them Long.

Boston, May i23.-Women are not bound to lift their skirts in aIiglting from street cars unless they choose to. They have every right, furthermore, to wear skirts of whatever length they choose. The supreme court of Massa- chusetts has so determined these mo nentous questions.
 Miranda R. Martin of Brockton was getting off car of the Old Colony street railway some time ago, when her skirt caught on a sand plunger which projected from the front plat form She was flung to the street, and sued the company, recovering $1,000 damages The company took an ap- peal, alleging that the woman had been negligent in failing to lift her long skirt high enough to clear the plunger.
 In affirming the judgment, the su- preme court holds that the company's objection is untenable. Having been told to leave by the front door, it was the company that was negligent in having failed to caution the woman of the presence of the plunger, since it had not been protected.
