hem-lock

A fabric-securing device to keep lecherous dudes from peeping up yer skirt.
When Mrs. Hart Berg was taken up in an airplane by Wilbur Wright, she had used a hem-lock ti maintain her modesty --- i.e., she'd tied her skirt with a rope to keep it from "revealingly" billowing during the windy journey. This prompted the hobble-skirt to be invented.
