Lawsuits.

The STANDARD clips the following
comments on litigation from an East
ern periodical:
Litigation still endures, notwith-
standing the opposition of lay sages
of many nations and many centuries,
based on the expense involved
in prosecuting and defending suits.
There is Chinese proverb that go
ing to law is losing COW for the sake
of a cat. 1t is Spanish adage that
the Jews ruin themselves at their
passover; the Moors, at their mar
riages; and the Christians. in their
lawsuits. Dilwyn said that to
seek redress of grievances by going
to law is like sheep running for shtl-
ter to bramble bush.' Shakespeare
warned that the law is past depth
to those who. without heed, do plunge
into it, Thus far the lawyer escapes
special blame for the expense of law
suits, but Benjamin Franklin voiced
other pessimistic philosophy when he
paid his compliments to his con-
temporary attorneys by stating that
q countryman between two law
yers is like fish between two cats.
Observation of the course Of present
day litigation will not justify . charge
that lawyers, generally, violate the
ethical code by stimulating suits. in
betraying their clients, or exacting
larger compensation for their services
than is justly due. Litigation is one
of the wastes which has become in
separably related to human affairs,
and is no more chargeable to the
profession which deals with it than
physicians are chargeable with the
existence of disease.
Granting all of the above to be
true, is it not preferable to settle
disputes by lawsuits than resorting
to the shotgun and similar methods.

THE POPULARITY

The bag in two sections hangs from
the wrist from bracelet rings of the
Grape. The ends are in blue straw.
one being finished with a mirror. the
other having dainty little vanity At
tings.
A small hat In purple pedal straw
has a quaint little brim turned back
from the face with a printed band in
faded blues, greens, ETC.. q strap OF
the printed fabric being carried from
side to side under the chin. A doral
bow finishes the back.
Among the straw hats Of smaller
shape there is canvas design bound
and lined with royal blue velvet
worthy Of note. Round the low dat
crown there is a killed ruching Of the
canvas outlined with emerald wool
threads, and in the center Of each
plait there is a curious little red and
green flower worked in wool.
For the evening there Is a dainty
little cap with a crown of gold and
aluminium mesh banded with gold and
finished with a fringe Of gold beads.
Round the gold band there is series
Of small flowers worked in red and
green beads.

So far the use Of the leather belt has
been confined largely to the simple
Jackets, many Of which are in belted

strongly on the horizon Of fashion. Its
temperance, however. is suggested.
and there Is a strong possibility Of de-
