AN UP TO DATE FLORlDIAN.
With q Pistol She Enforced Respect For
Her

Her BlOOmers.
New woman figured in a sensa-
tional scene at West Palm Beach, Fla.
recently. Pistol in hand, Mrs. Nelson
Young asserted the right of a woman to
YEA boomers without being made the
subject of unpleasant comment. The
lady, who is young, is an expert ON the
wheel and every day is seen "scorch-
ing" on the shell road that winds about
Lake Worth.
Mrs. Young rode attired in an ordi-
nary costume until the other afternoon,
when the villagers were surprised to see
her go whizzing through the streets
CARRIED in up to date bloomer costume.
Mrs. Young looked very mannish in her
close fitting boomers, but everybody
admired her save John Mcdonald, who
spoke sneeringly OF the modesty Of a
woman who appeared in such a costume.
When the lady heard of McDonald's
comment, she became angry, and bloom
er clad she wheeled to his store and en-
tered. She Immediately covered McDon-
aid with a revolver and demanded an
apology. The pistol looked ugly, and
the lady made Mcdonald apologize. He
wrote a card for the local papers retract-
ing all unpleasant comment. Then Mrs.
Young rode gayly away. The affair has
caused a great sensation owing to the
prominence of the parties and to the
fact that Mr.. Mcdonald is q church
deacon. Cincinnati Enquirer.
