exceedingly pretty picture, as Miss
Pringle would say about a bIushing
bride. The sheath business of the
gown we couldn't figure out exactly
The skirt fitted just the way every
other skirt We ever saw fitted. It
wasn't very tight, as we had heard
about. and there wasn't nothing about
the way it was made that was at all
different.
But the actress must have felt ter
ribly embaTasSed-we saw it at a real
vaudeville theatre, one of those place
where they give a nickeIs worth of
singing, a nickeIs worth of jokes, a
nickeTs worth of moving pictures,
which hurt our eyes, because our
eyes aren't what they used to be by
long ShOt-becaUse the skirt had
split right down the south side. and
every time she walked it Topped open
We can't imagine how in the world it
could nave happend, and 1t seems to
us we would have pinned it up some
how, but they say that when it's time
for actor people to get out on the
stage they can't stop for nothing, but
must go.
Anyway. the sheath gown wasn't
such a Sbeathy thing at all. the only
thing being that that actress ought to
surely have that skirt mended before
she wears it again before a lot of peO-
pie. If she was in Windy Point We
would recommend her to Widow Sla-
gle's dressmaking parlOrs, as Mrs.
Slagie does the best work in this town
of its kind. she being the only dress
maker in our thriving city.
