Dimples Stop Traffic.

The “ladles from hell,” meaning the kilties, had the town by the ears when they were here; their kilties being the cynosure for all feminine eyes. But for creating a furore and stopping traffic the palm goes to the New Zealanders who arrived here on the wings of the warm wave. The reason is this: The fight-costume of the boys from the Antipodes consists merely of athletic trunks, a khaki tunie and a hat that sits on three hairs. It also can be mentioned that they wore regulation Scotch stockings. But It was the dimples in their nether extremities that stopped traffic. One of the warm climate soldiers wandered down in the financial district yesterday during lunch hour, and It Is estimated that mbre than 2,000 stenographers went without their usual luncheon of angel cake and nut sundae. The girls gathered in groups, always at a distance, and talked about the latest fighting reg Mia. They all voted it a success, but at the same time wondered what would happen If any of New Zealanders, if by chance, wandered in the land of the voracious mosquito.—New York Herald.
