Then came huge placards. and in
parti-colored letters the vulgarist of
men were expected to read about
the Crinoline" skirts, the EN-
press skirts, the " Eugenic skirts,
or the comet-:ailed skirt, etc, until
l declare every boy in the street be-
came as familiar with crinolinc as
the women themselves, and as the
world is, like Iago, nothing if not
critical" our crinoline served as an
excellent object of universal ridiculc.
This went on until, on several occa-
sions, it seemed as if hoops must
speedily 60 out of fashion. 1t would
not do to wear things the very shape
and pcculiarities of which were COM
mon to every impcrtinent mouth; but
tho hoop is so graceful, and imparts
such a figure to even the figureless,
that we could not find it in our
hearts to abandon the dear thing.
Hence, it lived on-only, however,
to bring upon itself more mischief.
told you, two or three weeks
ago, about the excitement, then in
progress, relative to an alleged discov-
cry of the extensive manufacture
here, of artificial "calvcs for the
use of the wearers of hoops fond of
skating on the ice. Here was cer-
tainly subject that ono would sup
pose that gentlemen would be ex>
ccssively discreet in handling. One
would fancy that no respectable lady
would be lightly accused of making
up" her neither limbs for public dis
play on the ice, in skating, or any
where else; or if they were so &C.
cuscd the accusation would be
couchcd in vague language, full of
inucndocs, hints, insinuations, and
80 on, not in coarse, direct terms.
But, bless me ! the newspapers spoke
out boldly, distinctly, and used un-
mistakablc diction. The people
took up the cry. Ladies were afraid
to go on skates with hoops, and were
glad when the skating season was
over. But did the hoop persecution
cease then? No, indeed! BY that
time tho comct-tailed hoop, intend-
cd for long trailing dress, came
into use. The long "queue" be-
hind, Of course, inclined the skirt,
at every obstruction, to lift up, and
hence tho namo of "tilting-sk!rt {"
was soon given to it by tho vulgar,
which name adheres to it pertina-
ciously still.
And now comes tho new excite
ment over the "tilting skirt. If
the newspaper created sensation be-
fore about hoops, what are they do
ing at present? There is no ice
now, but the crowd protest that the
"tilting skirt" is just rs i"delicatc
in the street, and that the ladies
=" make up" to wear it just - much
