My Hosiery, My Hosiery
Silk stockings coming down, is the joyful scream that hits up from the headlines.
’Smatter, garters going up?
See where the girls are putting wings on their slippers. That ought to speed up the high flyers.
“Friendly Insults”
By CAPTAIN BILLY
THERE is something almost amusing about the violent agitation in Canada and England against the publications of a well-known American. The Britishers are working up a boycott against these periodicals, declaring their pages contain many bitter insults to old John Bull.
Those acquainted with the tribe of England soon recognize their proud and haughty demeanor. Blood and lineage cut deep into their flesh and cranium. I often wonder if the English realize a possibility for pride in the American people. From my observation through a wide exchange of British publications, I have noted 10 insulting stories regarding the Americans to every one story contained in our newspapers and magazines of a nature detrimental or slurring to British cousins.
