An ex change has this: 'Lie Bible has been brought to bear on the bloomer cities tion. Here is the citation from Deu teronomy, chapter 22, verso 5, that is relied 111011 to knock out the new dress: "The woman shall nut wear that which pcrtaineth to a man for all that do vo are an abomination to the Lord, thy God." But this Is by ue means conclusive. There Is no well meaning man yet heard-' of who la.. s any claim to the bloomer as tho Jew woman now sports them nor would ao wear them unless under direct ne cessity. We'll have to have something more pertinent than Deutercjiomy. Harvesting in Gilliam. Condon Globe, May 15: It will surprise our Eastern readers to learn that D.
