LONDON WILL CHuCKLE NO

LONDON, Oct. 18.-The patent elias.
tic hobble skirt has proved dismal
failure from the standpoint OF the firm
which invested several thousand dol
lars In the latest enterprises. The
elastic hobble appeared to be prac-
teal and the early sale was large. The
skirt was ruffled, and under the RUIZ
fles was an elastic band running COM
pIetely around the skirt. Thus. though
Tile fashionable hobble effect was OBJ
tanned, the legs of the wearers were
not restricted and walking. In theory
became q pleasant and graceful exer-

But the patent hobble has been TAX
en- of the market. though the manu-
facturers had made many thousand OF
them.
Why? The hobble manifested a de-
sire to crawl up the legs OF the wear
ers and stay there. Male loungers In
Piccadily, Regent-st. and Oxford-st.
had delirious time while II lasted.
