HOBBLE SKIRT JOKE
Parisian Designers Got Idea
From Cleverly Drawn Cartoon.
Cartoonist Now Apologizes, Declaring
Never Thought Such Mode of
Dress Possible—Intended
to Ridicule Low Waist.
London.—Who is responsible foi
the invention of the “hobble” skirt?
Some famous fashion creator of Paris
every one will say, by no means. W.
K. liaselden, the cartoonist, envolved
it out of his inner consciousness
many months before it was actually
created as a dress.
On Feb. 14, 1909, he thought of it
as a hideous possibility which might
some day come true. The next day
his conception of it appeared as a car-
toon, in company with other products
of his imagination; later a Parisian
fashion expert saw the cartoon and
seized upon the idea.
Some months later the hobble skirt
appeared in Paris, and in December,
1909, was actually being worn in Lon-
don, and speedily became the rage
In one or two cases enthusiastic
adopters of it were so overzealous
that they had hobble skirts made for
them which were so tight they pre-
vented their getting in or out of ve-
hicles, and broken bones resulted.
Other wlerd dress designs were "the
knee-anil elbow-room dress,” a quaint
conceit which showed balloons round
the knees and elbows; the "Punchin-
ello pattern,” the woman in this case
wearing an artificial hump and a very
voluminous skirt; “the donkey’s ear
shoulder," an ordinary costume with a
trailing skirt and two long, pointed
projections rising from the shoulders
to a distance of three feet above eith-
er side of the head; and “the pyra-
mid" and the “diamond” design.
These have not “come true," but Mr.
Haselden thinks it highly likely that
their day will dawn. Asked upon what
lines he worked when creating such
fashions, he said:
“I think of all the most outlandish
things in the way of dress, being at
the same time assured that nothing is
too impossible for women to wear.
"Indeed, the real difficulty is to In-
vent anything that looks impossible.
There was one really sensible thing
I invented. This will not, I fear, ’come
true,’ because it is sensible. I refer
to the pneumatic hat for matineeB, a
drawing of which appenicu u.. «ug
29, 1908.
“It was a large hat blown up wltt
air and capable of being deflate."
when the wearer had taken her seal
in the theater.
"I am afraid th.t if . designed t
really artistic and useful dress women
Would not wear .t.
“The very last thing on earth I
wanted was to get women to wear
| hobble skirts, but I had a fear I did
not think It unlikely tbat they would
adopt it. It is so very silly, you
know.
“When I read of the lady, who, ow-
ing to a very hobble skirt, broke one
of her legs in getting Into a taxicab.
I felt indirectly responsible. I kept
silent about my invention because 1
did not wish to be found out
"I am very penitent. I know 1
ought to be broken on the Wheel. If
any other man had done it I would
get up a society to have him broken
on the wheel. But I will not get up
a society to have myself broken on
the wheel. That Is for other people
to do.
"At present, you know, we are go-
ing back to eastern dress ,'ashlons.
The thing now is to hide the face and
show the figure. You can’t see more
of a woman's face nowadays than her
chin. Breaking on the wheels is quite
conformable with eastern ideas.”
