A FOOLISH REGULATION.

The New Orleans papers are having some fun
at the expense of the police department over the
effort Of the cops to enforce the hatpin ordinance
recently adopted by the municipality The regtl
must not project beyond the hat without being
protected. THAT the long and sharp hatpins
now so commonly used by women are danger
Gus" observes the Picayune, as freely adj
mtted In crowded street cars or in the retail
stores on bargain days the long pins are a
positive menace TO everybody and accidents from
coming in contact with the business ends Of the
pins have occurred"
The Picayune synpathizex with the ladies, who
naturally resent any interference from mere
men with their ideas of style or dress but the
law is inexorable and makes no distinction OF
persons. hence the wisest plan will be to bow
gracefully to its mandates"
Richmond has such an ordinance or at least
one regulating the length of hatpins, but do
you think for a minute that Richmond police
man would stop lady on the street and place
her under arrest for It's violation? The gaze of
the Richmond policeman Is not fastened upon the
hatpins of the women who pass him Besides
he is too ohiyalrous to thus emharrass lady.
Another thing, If the long, sharp hatpin is TO
be abolished. upon what are our women to de-
pend for defense in an emergency?
