NEWS OF INTEREST IN THE —" — SOCIAL REALM , KNEE-BAND SKIRT Lovely lady, as you wobble In your new knee-band skirt— E’en as if you wore a hobble— Does it hurt? Does it never make you worry, Never cramp or hamper you? What, when you are in a hurry, Do you do? Gentle lady, when you wear it Where you have to jump or slide Do you never long to tear it Up the side? Often have I wondered whether If it were the latest fad To bind women’s feet together, You’d be glad? If Dame Fashion, some day, stated That two legs were not good style Would you have one amputated For a while? Pretty lady you’re a blessing To mankind, upon my word; But you have a way of dressing That’s absurd. —Exchange.
