In Quest of the Overshoe

STUCK IN THE MUD – The Suburbans Must Swim or Drown, as Walking is Impossible.

A PRETTY GIRL AND A DARING COP.

Shadyside, proud and pre-eminent, actually stands up to her neck in the mud, and, queerly enough, doesn’t give even one sign of complaint. …

An overshoe once lost is forever, unless some gallant policeman swims to the rescue of a pretty pair of number twos; and alas! pretty pairs of number twos are far more frequent than gallant policemen!

Pittsburgh Dispatch, Monday, January 14, 1889.
