| Chicago, Aug. 1.-THE new woman
has caused sadness and misery in Cana
street, and cost Frank Taborsky S..
| Up TO Tuesday Taborsky was the most
staid and dignified resident OF that thor
pair of shoes that were not made by
Taborsky were not worth the trouble
OF Gacing up. Besides. Mr.. Taoorsky
| was the head OF family, and he was
| held UP 10 the youth Of the neighbor-
hood as a great and good man IN whose
footsteps they would do we'll to follow.
But Herr Taborsky has fallen
And the new woman was the cause
Of il.
II happened IN this wise.
On Tuesday Herr Taborsky was
standing under the shade OF the big
awning over his shop, which IS located
near Twelfth street, and Is No. go on
Canal street. II was in the afternoon.
and those who remember Tuesday af-
ternoon will also remember that 1t was
intensely warm. Herr Taborsky was
smoking the pipe ne brought from the
Rhine country, and bordering on the
great questions Of the day.
Just then something walked past
Herr Taborsky's vision which made him
gasp.
He ran into the street and hooked
after it as il disappeared in the dis
uance. He had never seen anything
like ii. For the good Herr Taborsky
works hard in his shop all day and sell
dom gets over a block away. SO he
watched the apparition in aInazement.
"Vos IS dos?'' ne finally gasped-
A neighbor took pity on poor Herr
Taborsky. That" said the neighbor,
that IS a new woman"
Herr Taborsky marvelled. A new
woman. Herr Taborsky had never be-
fore seen a new woman. She had
worn short trousers. Herr Taborsky
marvelled much. Women never Wore
short trousers in the Rhine country
His neighbors said they were boomers,
but 10 Herr Taborsky they were short
trousers.
So. then, women were stealing the
attire OF men
Herr Taborsky pulled fierceIy at his
pipe until the sun went down. The
new woman was going TO take the CLOTH
ing of men. Then men would have to
wear the clothing of women Dunder
and blitzenl
ha "a
about the matter the more excited he
got. Men would have to dress like
women. Good. He would begin at
once.
So just as night was falling Herr Ia
borsky, who had thought of the sub
ject by that time over his beer for sew
eral hours, went into the house and
crept up to his wffe's room. She was
out Herr TaborSky carefully hooked"
a skirt from the closet.
II men had to dress like women he
might as Wen begin at once. So he
began. He put on the skirt. Then he
put on a waist. 1t did not come clear
around For Herr Taborsky is fat and
a foot higher than good Frau Tabor
sky. Then he put a shawl over his
head. He would have looked Ike some
da-shing young fraulien-only, for. IN
fortunately, Herr Ia borsky had beard
busting Ike that OF a Kansas Popo-
crat. But he drew the shawl about
his whiskers and walked down Twelfth
street.
If there was to be a new woman there
would be a new man. And Herr Ia
borsky, the shoemaker, would be the
first of the new men.
He went UP to a saloon at Twelfth
70 al \ -oii ha- Ia
all about it, The bartender sympa-
thized with him and said he was az
right.
Then Herr Taborsky told the bar
room loafers about il They also said
he was all right, and drank to the stir
ring toast Of 'Hoch, hoch, der neue
mann
In the midst OF the festivities three
OF four rascally Italian boys appeared
They hung upon Herr Taborsky's shawl
They also swung on his skirts. They
called him WHISPERS Policeman
Chapman heard the noise, ran 10 the
saloon, placed Herr Taborsky under ar
rest. and called the wagon.
While the wagon was coming Frau
TRborsly heard OF her spouSe's predica-
ment and went TO the rescue.
Tacorsky, plaitnively. But Policeman
He just make de fun" said Frau
Cunningham was obdurate. He had
found Herr Taborsky masquerading in
woman's clothing. He must arrest
him. The wagon came and Herr Tabor
sky was taken 70 the Stanton Avenue
station.
Yesterday morning he was arraigned
before Justice Dooley, charged with dis
orderly conduct The justice could not
appreciate Herr Tabo-sky's heroism in
acting as the enancipator OF his sex.
So he fined the prisoner s. and cost.
And now Herr TaboTSky says the sex
can emanctpate itself.
But boomer girls who ride down Ca
nal street in the vicinity OF No. 200 can
look out for broken glass and a Wild
licking ma :, r,-irh WhiSksrS and club.
