A Plea For the Preservation OF the
Wireless womna.


Wireless wOmna.
Two Pittsburg girls created furore
a few days ago when they appeared
on the streets OF that city wearing
hoop skirts OF the old fashioned vari-
ETY.. They undertook TO make their
way into a department store. but the
door wasn't wide enough 10 admit
them. and before they could get back
TO their carriags, they were surround
ed by a howling(mob OF men who. we
presume, never saw their grandmoth-
ers dressed up in their sunday 90 10
meetin's.
We are told that hoop skirts are to
be worn again. and we anticipate their
approach with something akin TO the
Keeling that a man has when he sees
another rushing at him with a wheel
barrow on a narrow Sidewalk. We
don't know whether 10 get mad and

In the days when crinoline In all its
glory had possession Of the streets and
part Of the adjacent lots there were
no street cars and no bargain counters.
Women walked inside their wire cages
with more or less freedom and attract
ed little attention because they all
looked alike from the throat down.

have TO give ourselves up to lengthy
and profound meditation in order TO
determine what would happen II vvo-

her boudoir hero.cally struggling TO ex-
uicaie herself from the tangle Of bro
ken and twisted wires
We shudder 0s we contemplate what
would happen at q mark down sale OF
three ply noop skirts ON bargain day in
The department stores.
Il has been the tendency Of fashion
during the past ten years 10 crowd
woman into as little space as possible.
and great success has been achieved in
that direction. In many instances far
too little stand. between woman and
the cold. cold world. and most OF that
