Show Shorn of Skirt to Make Badges "Woman. "With. Gorgeous Undergarment Undergar-ment Proves to Be Friend In ' Time of Need. ST. LOUIS, May 2L The New York delegation, sixty strong, to the convention of the National Federation Feder-ation of Women's Clubs, found a good friend in their time of need. Just before St. Louis was reached some one remembered that the local biennial bi-ennial board had requested" all arriving delegates to wear a knot of pale blue ribbon on the left side of the corsage, so that the committee, who met the train might identify them. Not one of all the sixty had provided herself with a ribbon. Mrs. Charles A. Naething, however, was wearing a gorgeous underskirt whose luxuriant flounces were threaded with yards upon yards of blue ribbon. A lifted frock betrayed this to the watchful eyes of the members, and Mrs. Naething was straightway shorn of her skirt and her ribbon was promptly prompt-ly confiscated. When the women left tho train each flaunted her blue knot. |
