HOBBLE SKIRT CAUSE
OF STREET BLOCKADE

Girl Cannot Get Foot on Step and
Holds Up Car Traffic Five Min
uteS.
Pittsburgh.-It was the hobble
skirt that did it. 1t wasn't the girls
fault at all. Miss Bell Johnson didn't
want to hold up the Fifth Avenue
street car line until cars were lined
up for two blocks in the East End
district, while motormen, conductors
and shoppers grumbled and growled
but that is just what happened.
Miss johnson and her friend, also
hobbled, signaled a South Highland
car at Ivy street, at the hour when
hundreds We're hurrying downtown.
The friend managed to get on the car
but the principal in the little COM
edy couldn't get her foot on the step.
SO there she stood one hand on the
rail one foot in the air. pleadingly
looking up into the face of the conduc-
tor who stood with his hands 'on the
bel cord read to give it the two jerks
which would send the car ahead.
The motorman was tuning in his
cab on the front platform, He was
already two minutes behind schedule,
and cars behind were crowding him.
The conductor offered to get off
and lift the young woman aboard,
but she Indignantly refused Cars
behind stopped, and traffic was block
| ed
For nearly five minutes they stood
thus, the girl refusing to be assisted
and yet refusing to let go the rail, so
the conductor was compelled to re-
frain from giving the signal.
| Persons in the cars behind began
| to inquire about the trouble. Conduc-
tors came running up with all sorts
of suggestions. Finally. the ever.
present small boy on the sidewalk
yelled: "Ah, chee! why don't chez
lift 'em up?"
The girl caught the idea. Grasp
ing the light hobble skirt with boil
hands, she gingerly raised 1t, display
ing n liberals extent of shapey silk
stockined angles and climbed aboar,
the car.
Ding, ding" went the bell, and tn
blockade was lifted.
