e hearts (?) SOOZAN B. ANTHENY, ED blushed like a red-headed woodpecker, and hid his modesty behind a $4.00 palm leaf fan. STEVE GRISWOLD, DAN KETCHAM and a few other manikins, was dressed accordin' to the prevailin' fashions of the feminin sects. A good cleen shave would have completed their disgize, and folks woulden't have had a suspicion but what they was what they was actin' to be. I was shocked to hear one audacious retch remark: "Them chaps look like a lot of hen-peckt broken furniture."
