TREASONABLE SKIRT.
POLICE ORDER HUNGARIAN LADY TO TAKE IT OFF. Vienna, May 12. Fraulieu Hollda, the daughter of the local magistrate, of Gross-Uutlyn, a Roumanian town in Hungary, was aiTcste! yesterday in the street for wearing a yellow and red striped silk skirt. The police officials stated that they had orders to remove on the spot anything publicly displayed bearing the Roumanian colors—yellow and red—and requested the young lady to take, her skirt off there and then. Fraulieu ilollda indignantly refused, and the crowd which gathered took her pari so energetically that the police were glad to accept the compromise that they should escort Fraulieu Hollda to her father's house. Then the offending skii t was removed in private, and then con fiscated by the guardians of public order. The Vienna papers affect to make merry over this instance of Hungarian Chauvinism run mad, but during the recent carnival a young lady was arrested at Innsbruck for appearing at a costume ball in the Ita'ian colors, on the ground that this amounted to an Irredentist demonstration.
