----------
And here comes the four-slit skirt.
----------
The trouser skirt is the only one that needs police protection.
----------
The price of lobster has gone up, but this no excuse for being one.
----------
It wouldn't seem fair to tax bachelors and let the young widowers escape.
----------
The "bungalow" hat is the latest for women. Can it be bought on the installment plan?
----------
It was Queen Elizabeth who said a lie is an intellectual method of meeting a difficulty.
----------
The population of India is 315,000,000, an increase of 20,500,000 since 1901. No race suicide there.
----------
Absolute independence consists, says one writer, in eating onions and not giving a-darn who knows it.
----------
"Convicts are not the worst men" says a Chicago preacher. Still, there are a lot of good men out of prison.
----------
Sandow, the strong man, is trying to build King George up to his own standard as against coronation week.
----------
A Chicago minister says that some marriages are planned by Satan, and we thought they were all made in heaven.
----------
The harem skirt is being taken seriously in Rome. One father has committed suicide because his daughters wore them.
----------
Prof. Perrier, a French astronomer, tells us emphatically that there is no life on Venus or Mars. When astronomers disagree, etc.
----------
An aeroplane carried thirteen men in a flight in France the other day, but the average citizen still prefers to cling to mother earth.
----------
A new aviator whose name is Mars has dawned on the world. For once a birdman has been found who has a name that fits his calling.
----------
Wherever it has appeared the harem skirt seems to have caused a riot. It is going to be hard on the timid to be fashionable this spring.
----------
A Boston clergyman says women have lost the art of blushing, and this may be why some are wearing the hobble and some the harem skirt.
----------
Pride goeth before a fall. When an automobile tries to knock a freight train off the track the pedestrian is tempted to chortle within his sleeve.
----------
We move that the New Yorker who is running an agency to dispose of titled foreigners to American heiresses be thrown into jail for peddling gold bricks.
----------
A church about to disband in New York has a membership worth about $750,000,000. The task of getting that treasure laid up in heaven seems to be a difficult one.
----------
A Philadelphia public man thinks the harem skirt will uplift the race. -- [cut off]
