I think, the story was titled "A Rose for Emily" because at the end of the story it describes the room furnished for a bridal in rose color .....

An Analysis Of The Philosophy Of Science
.... must infers its validility from premises, which are true, necessary and unspurious. We think we possess we scientific knowledge, when we assume knowledge of the causes.
