Show A Fashionable lady OF San Francisco attired herself in a party dress, and had a full length photograph taken. Enveloping her tightly-laced finery in a balloon cloak, she descended to the street, hailed a street car, and seated herself within. When her street was reached she motioned to the conductor and attempted to rise. But so tightly was the poor thing harnessed that she couldn't get up and blushing scarlet, she told the conductor that she would go a few blocks further. When the terminus of the line was reached and the last gentleman had left the car, the conductor asked her if she wanted to ride back. "No sir," she replied with sweet simplicity, "I merely want some help, for I can't get up." The conductor set her on her feet, and she walked home, a wiser woman. |
