ing this week as he boarded a
Douthitt avenue street car.
The joke caused Harry Wright to
tell story on a friend of his.

and crepe de chene, but those who

than ever before worn by the Ameri-
can women.
A chemise of the same material is
made to slip on over the head and
this resembles a long straight sack,
