 THE DIVIDED SKIRT.
 The New Britain Herald says: Lieuten- ant-Colonel Thompson, who is the com manding officer of the military evolutions | in the Normal school, should write an es- say on the divided skirt. It has been treated and maltreated by all sorts of writers on fashions and woman's peculiar ities, but never yet have we had it dis cussed from the standpoint of military officer whose command is encumbered with petticoats and perhaps trains. The lieuten- ant colonel says it will be question soon between the Normal school battalion and the baby company, I, as to proficiency. Let's have a competitive drill for the bene- fit of the City Mission.
