FIRST SLIT SKIRT STITCHED Countrymen So Interested That Police¬ man Leads Girl to Milliner to Have Rent Sewed Up. Raleigh, N. C—When Policeman Jordan beat back a curious crowd in Ayden and protected a pretty girl, with appealed to him, he did not know that the first slit skirt ever seen in the town had attracted the men. Aft¬ er a glance at the gown he quickly escorted the girl to a millinery store when the skirt was stitched. When the girl, who is staying with friends in the town, appeared in the street with an attire that disclosed gray hose, nearly 100 men followed her, and she sought to escape their curious glances In flight, but tired quickly. Then Policeman Jordan ap¬ peared, drew his club and drove the crowd away. “What’s the touble?” he asked. The girl pointed to the slit and blushed. Jordan took her by the arm, led her to the milliner, and then sent her home In a cab. Stratford, Ancient and Modern. More than three hundred years have passed since the birth of that colossal genius, Shakespeare, and many changes must have occurred in his na¬ tive town within that period. The Stratford of Shakespeare’s time waa built principally of timber, as, indeed, it is now, and contained about 1,400 in¬ habitants. Today its population num¬ bers upwards of 8,000, new dwellings have arisen where once were fields of wheat, glorious with the shimmering* luster of the scarlet poppy. The older buildings, for the most part, have been demolished or altered. Manufacture, chiefly of beer, and of Shakespearean relics, has been stimulated Into pros¬ perous activity. The Avon has been spanned by a new bridge of iron. The village streets have been leveled, swept, rolled and garnished till they look like a Flemish drawing of the middle ages. Even the Shakespeare cottage, the ancient Tudor house, in High street, and the two old churches —authentic and splendid memorials of a distant and storied past—have been retsored. — Winter’s “Shakespeare’s England.’’ “A Perfect Saw.* “To say nothing and Saw wood" seems to be one of the most sagacious phrases passed down by our hard¬ working forebears. Like most sayings which have emanated from manual labor, this is blunt, homely, and, to the loquaciously inclined, painfully accurate. Show me a man bent Jack¬ knife fashion over a sawhorse, with a short log under his buck, and I wlii point out a man who Is minding his own business with admirable zeal. If he speaks, he ceases to saw. While he saws he Is necessarily mute. Hence this shrewd phrase, which is, punning aside, a perfect saw.—Atlantic Month¬ ly.
