shovel GIRL IN TIGHT
SKIRT ABOARD CAR
Workmen Lid Miss at Muddy
Street Corner.

Passengers on an eastbound Gilmore
street car in Baltimore, Md, were as
tonished on Friday when the car had
reached Fayette street and Fremont
avenue to see a handsome young wo'
man shoveled aboard the car by two
burly wortmen.
The reason for the unusual proce-
dure was the fact that the young wo'
man wore such a narrow skirt that
she was unable to reach the step. Hur'
rying across the mud-coVered street
to catch the waiting car, she did not
notice that the street had been dug
up where the car had stopped and
that the step was quite high to reach.
Several times she tried to reach the
step, first with one foot, then the
other, and each time she failed owing
to the tightness of her skirt. Much
embarrassed at her predicament and
by the gaze of the passengers, the
young woman was about ready to
walk, when the workmen came to the
rescue.
They had been waiting in a ditch
close to the car and were among the
interested spectators. Forming a plat
form with their shovels, on which SIZE
stepped, they lifted the young woman
aboard the car.
