SPLIT SKIRT SAVES WEARER.
estles Her to Escape Steer That
'famples a Hobbled Woman.

.iiaIttsnurgh, july 25.-Subjected to
abuse Rnd vilifcation the first model
ar9iYsS here from Partisan modistes,
hy sashed skirt came in for its
share of commendation when Miss
Helen Grasmeth, gowned in one Of
the latest patterns of the expose
gown, was able to escape the on
slaught of a maddened steer, while
Mrs. Harvey Wallace, who wore one
of the obsolete hobble gowns, not be-
ing able to run fast enough, went
down and was tramped by the mad
denei animal.
The steer was of the long-horned
Texas variety. When it startd his
headlong dash down Frankstown ave-
nue. it headed straight for Miss Gras-
meth and Mrs. Wallace, who were
walking along, not far apart. Hearing
the animal close behind them, both
women started to run, and, aided by
the generous slash in her gown,
which enabled her to get into long
stride quickly, Miss Grasmeth sue
,ceeded in getting out of the steers
way.
Mrs. Wallace, impeded by the hob
BILE skirt, was not so fortunate. Hel
shortened strides failed to carry her
out of harms way, and the infuriated
animal hit her fairly in the back
Knocked her down and trampled over
her. Fortunately, the maddened ami
NAL continued on his way, going
through the big plate glass window
of Jacob Grossman's department
store. Mrs. Wallace was severely
injured.

A nobler, kinder, truer heart was never
borne to rest,
But out of all our loving we but gave
thee vague unrest,
And now thy pulseless hands are fold

Calm sleeper in Mount Olivet; God
surely loved thee best.
He may be gently leading thee among
Elysian fields,
Where kindness sown in bygone years
a ripening harvest yields;
And friends who once were fondly

To lead thee to the Great White
