Show NEW HATS AS BUNDERS. Scorching Messenger Came to Grief When Women Failed to See Him. A messenger boy speederino scorched madly into Broadway from Eleventh street early this morning. By the time he arrived at the Coates house he was creating a vaeeum two blocks long. Two young women were crossing the street. Both wore the latest exaggeration exaggera-tion of the inverted tub. The messenger messen-ger sat humped over the handle bars, straining every muscle. He saw them not. and under the opaque conning towers the young women saw the messenger mes-senger boy not. The force of the impact was great. The superstructures held the women in place, while the messenger boy was unhorsed beg pardon, unb'eyeled and cleaned several square yards of pavement. "If you'd carry your market baskets on your arms instead of on your heads you'd see somethin'." the messenger boy complained as he sat up. Without further apology he made up lost time toward his destination. |
