HAVE YOU SEEN THE HAREM
SKIRT?
I
By George G. Glenn.
’Tis strange that in this world of ours.
Garlanded with women, ribbons and
flowers.
That ever since days of Mother Eve,
That men did, and will always belie\e
. That woman would ever begile or de
j eeive,
Her dress should lack neck or sleeve.
That she would wear trousers or bor
row his shirt,
Wear pantaloons like man, called the
“Harem Skirt.”
You have seen the “hobble ’ —twas
all the rage —
Wound woman up like a bird in a cage
Made her walk slow, with measured
tread,
Made man wonder and twist his head
And stare, and say: “What will she
do next ?”
For men never like to be vexed.
With new fangled notions or fashion’s
decrees.
Prefer woman to be womanly and al
ways at ease.
All gentlemen bow, as they tip their
hat,
Especially to a lady, fair, forty and
fat.
lie is obliged to smile like a “wild
“gossoon ’ ’
As he takes a peep at a “human bal
loon.”
For man went crazy, half-shot and
gone,
When woman came forth with ‘bloom
ers’ on.
And we had styles that were enticing,
styles galore.
Women will follow fashions as she has
done before.
To pay the bills we toil long and late,
For men are the “angels’' that pay
the freight.
We pay for frills, flounces, lingerie
and hats,
Puffs, powders, corsets false hair and
rats;
Pads, cosmetics, hoop skirts, high
| lmel slices,
Ribbons, laces, waists, perfumes' and
rouge.
Artificial teeth, wigs, all kinds of
clothes,
Barrettes, varigated stockings and
rainbow hose.
To name each article women wear I’ve
certainly done my best.
But God alone, can only tell, the name
of all the rest.
To describe them all, and give a name
is quite beyond my lore,
You agree when I state, ’tis a thou
sand or more.
Yet we dress her up, well pleased and
rocking,
From the top of her bead to the end
of her stocking.
And when your money is spent ’tis
beyond recall,
And man, poor man, he pays for it all.
Os all plans made by women, to suit
fashion’s plan,
To break our purses and the heart of
man,
This ‘Harem Skirt” which was cut
too soon,
Looks too much like a man’s panta
loon.
All women cannot wear them, and
what is all around,
Seeing a lady weighing three hundred
pound,
Astrolling down the boulevard, a rid
ing or a walking,
A driving in her auto, a flirting or a
talking.
Men will die of grief, will certainly
hide his goods, ,
Commit suicide, fall down and pray,
or light out to the woods.
For I’ve noticed three of these skirts,
and each resembled witches.
Oh woman, how horrid you look, in
' flabby, baggy, breeches.
' This “Harem skirt” has all skirts
beat; it surely has the call.
’ It is the “classiest of the class”; it
' certainly heads them all.
The “Directoire gown” and “hobble
skirt” are destined to die;
This “Harem skirt” is the “skirtiest
skirt ’ ’ —oh my!
Yet may the Lord look down in mercy,
for of course we do not flirt,
But deliver us all we pray from the
“Hobble skirt.”
For the women now are going to vote,
to man they will not bend,
iThe Millenial it i.s dose at hand; this
I world is at an end.
THE DALTON ARGUS, DALTON. GEORGIA. THURSDAY, MARCH 16, 1911.
ATLANTA GREETS
THE PRESIDENT
ONE OF THE LARGEST CROWDS
EVER GATHERED IN ATLANTA
GIVES PRESIDENT A ROYAL
WELCOME.
Atlanta, Ga., March 11 —All the
formal dignity and popular acclama
tion that becomes a reception of the
president of the United States attend
ed the arrival of President Taft yes
terday morning. Immediately after
his arrival he left his private car in ,
company with Col. F. J. Paxon and ;
Brooks Morgan as the official hosts
and Governor Brown. He had hardly
set foot on Georgia soil before can
non began to boom the presidential
salute.
In the plaza a sea of humanity had
gathered to get a glimpse of the chief
executive. Militiamen were drawn ■
up in dress parade and the march from
the terminal station was highly im
pressive. The crowd welcoming Pres
ident Taft was one of the largest ever
seen in Atlanta.
The president was escorted to Taft
Hall, where he presided over a ses
sion of the commercial congress and
incidentally collected $27,000 for the
commercial congress in about five min
utes.
At 1:30 o ’clock in the afternoon he
was tendered a luncheon at the Capi
tol City club and early in the after
noon he attended a reception given in
his honor and also to the visiting gov
ernors by Governor Brown. At 4
o’clock he addressed the negroes of
Atlanta at the Central avenue Meth
odist church, and at 6 o’clock he was
entertained at dinner at the driving
club. At 8:30 he delivered his ad
dress at the auditorium.
THE COMMERCIAL
CONGRESS CLOSES
Atlanta, Ga., March 11 —Following
a magnificent address by President
Taft on the subject “A Greater Na
tion Through a Greater South,” a
packed auditorium sang “America,”
Dr. Lincoln Hulley pronounced the
benediction and one of the greatest
commercial congresses in history was
brought to a brilliant close.
The convention of the Southern
Commercial Congress, just closed,
marks a new era in the progress of
the South. It has been probably the
largest gathering of men of national
fame ever held in the South.

The less confidence a man has in
himself the more he seems to have in
others.

SEVENTEEN BALES OF
COTTON ON ONE WAGON
Up-to-date farming methods and
the value of good roads were both
exemplified in this city Thursday
when Mr. Sam J. Allen, of Cass, came
into Cartersville driving a gasoline
traction engine which had in tow a i
truck laden with 17 bales of cotton.
Eight thousand and five hundred
pounds on one wagon. Each bale oC
cotton on the wagon weighed more
than 500 lbs. and the price paid for
the staple by J. E. Field & Son, pur
chasers, was 141-4 cents around.
Mr. Allen’s load, handled bv him
self and one man and no mules came
from Cass in less than two hours and
the money he received for the load
of cotton in round numbers was $1 ,-

HAREM SKIRT BILL
MAY BE INTRODUCED IN
TENNESSEE LEGISLATURE
Senator Walter White, the sedate,
modest and learned senator from
Spring City, and who is now travel
ing over the state with the educational
committee, and which tribunal is in
Chattanooga today, is scared of the
harem skirt, says the Chattanooga
News.
In fact, he is really skittish about
it. To that end, he will seek to keep
it out of the bounds of Tennessee. ;
He does not think that this grand old
state, whose sons fought at King’s
Mountain, followed Jackson to New
Orleans and Taylor to the land beyond
the Rio Grande, is any stamping
ground for the Harem skirt. He now
has in his pocket a bill he intended
to introduce prohibiting the wearing
of the hobble skirt, but it develops
that when he got to Nashville and
there began to determine what a bob- i
ble skirt was, be found that there was j
the near-hobble, the real-hobble, the i
half-hobble and the hobbled-hobble, j
In fact it is said he spent many long j
and dreary hours at the corner of |
Church and Seventh streets in Nash
ville studying the styles of the bob
ble and the result was that be still
carries the bill in his pocket.
But the trouble now comes over the
harem skirt and lie wants it to stay
out of Tennessee. He will introduce
a harem bill. He was today shown I
the latest photograph of the bifurcated,
skirt, and while he thinks that Mary
Baker Eddy is a great woman and the
being at the bottom of all this rage,
he wants Tennessee to move along in
the same old way, and while lie is a
bachelor, and has many friends, the j
senator has determined that no wo
man shall wear his pants if he can
help it; hence the proposed legisla
tion about the harem skirt.
