Woman's Vanity (1910)
The devotee of fashion, having mastered the intricacies of the hobble skirt, sought new modes to conquer and a Parisian dressmaker evolved the "hobble hoopskirt," a hobble skirt with the hoop skirt of our grandmothers starting from just below the knees and flaring some fifteen feet in circumference. It was a wonderful creation and the girl's delight was unbounded when the soft tissues were removed to disclose the "creation." Navigation proved somewhat difficult, but she was able to make her decorous progress through the streets all unconscious of the attention she was attracting until upon her arrival home she found half a dozen persistent swains in her train instead of on it. It was more than she had bargained for, and with tears of mortification in her eyes she threw the now detested garment out of the window. It was rescued by a negro, who took it home to his inamorata, and presently the delighted darky was strutting out to show herself in the wonderful structure with its fifteen-foot flounce. Some of the mashers who had seen the original owner fell in behind and the crowd was augmented by others until there were a dozen following. The stroll ended by the water and when the self-satisfied wearer raised her veil the men all fell off the dock.
