M. Aucoc cited an especially unfortunate
example, a young man who had lost the
sight of one eye in an accident, and
whose remaining eye was pierced by hat
pin. 1t was pointed out that the May
ors of Lyon and several other towns
had issued by laws obiging women to
protect the points of their hat pins

such by law for Paris, but he had
that a change in fashions would soon
make 1t unnecessary. but If the council
wished he would at once issue an order
that all hat pin points must be covered
