one of the local councils IN dlit.i-:
Of Vienna has directed all women fr.-
quenting public parks and csrdens IN
der their jurisdiction to hold up thcir
skirts IL they would otherwise trail
upon the ground. The notice states
that these Enclosures are devoted to
the recre alton of persons desirous Of
escaping from the dusty town. and
therefore the authorities object to tho
dust being swept iito heaps by the
trailing skirts. Even 50 far back as
the reign of Edward II long trains
we're de rigueur. This is what one OF
the monks says: Il heard a proud
woman who wore white dress with
long train. which, trailing behind her,
raised a dust even so far as the altar

church and lifted up her dress on ac-
count of the dust, a certain holy man
saw the devil laughing. He asked him
the cause and the devil replied: a
companion of mine was just sitting on
the train of that woman, using It as
chariot. but when she lifted il up my
companion was shaken off into the
