SKIRT
EDDYToRIUL


After considerable thort we
have desided to write eddytoriul
for this wks Bugle on the 'ESlashed
Skirt" for subjeckt.
From what we have saw in a
occasional City paper which we
have managed to git our hands on
the s1ashed skirt is turrible poplar
& quite the rage among wi1nmen
folks in some sessions of the
country.
For the benefit of our more
ignorunter subscribers who don't
keep up to the styles peraps we
ort to state that the slashed skirt
is a skirt with a slash in the lower
porshion Of it up almost as fur as
the knee in some instances and not
quite so fur upwards in others.
This new style aint struck Bing-
vile very hard as yet being as no
buddy in our midst has the auda-
City to appear in publick in a
slashd skirt except Miss Amelia
Tucker, our raining sossiety queen
& leader of the Bingville 400. Miss
Amelia appeard at church last Sun
day morning wearing slashed
skirt and when she flung up the lie
and stepped UP onto the quire plat
form there was gasp of astonish-
ment on the part of the congrega-
shion espeshially the winmen. The
men present also notised Anelia's
s1ashed skirt. Deacon Leavengood
over in the Amen corner notised
it so much that he has had a crick
in his neck ever sinst. Deacon o.
good, who is another stanch p1ller
of the church WHISPERED to his wife
that if they would set a leetle mite
nearer to the quire they could hear
the sermon a good cal better, but
Mrs. Osgood told the Deacon very
short that she calkilated he meant
he could SEE better ruther than
HEAR better, after which the
Deacon subsidized. Every time Mrs
Osgood ketched the Deacon lookin
lords Amelia she would prod him in
the ribs with her elbow, but she
might as we'll of permitted him to
look becuz the Deacon had on his
"near-to'' specs anyhow.
Rey. Saml Moore, our beloved
pastor, who observed Amelia's
slashed skirt when she entered the
church, took occashion in his SER
mon to say that he thort emmy wo-
man or girl who would wear one
O. them new tangled skirts with a
slash in it to church ort to be
ashamed of theirself At this
Amelia blushed deeply after which
she got up and flirted outen the
church in deep disgust Amelia says
that's the last time shell ever sing
