What Means This Shoe So Very New? Why, "23" Skidoo, Skidoo!

What Means This Shoe So Very New? Why, "23" Skidoo, Skidoo!
What means this shoe so very new?
Why, "23" skidoo, skidoo!
But if you'll be my Valentine,
This shoe, my love, will not fit you.

The "23 skidoo" fad--a joking way to tell someone to "scram" or "get lost"--was popular in the 1900s and 1910s. For an amazing compilation of information regarding the fad, see the 23 Skidoo Postcards Web site.

Postmarked: Newark, N.J., Feb. 13, 1909.
Sent to: Mr. Miles Tarbell, Groton, Tompkins County, New York.
Message: Yours sincerely, Belle D.
