as the mastodon. The modern bachelor
picks up bric-a-brac like a woman, only
with better taste and judgment. When he
chooses to open the door on his enchanted
region blessed is the girl who is in town,
wise will she be, if his humor lasts, to stay
all summer. And yet, and yet, bachelors
are hard TO decoy.
whittier thou goest l win go and thy
sports shall be my sports and thy muscles
my muscles is the dismaying proposal OF
the modern young woman to her cavalier
and, willy-nillY, he takes her with him on
| the bicycle as well as the three-wheeler.
Before joining him in the park or on the
road she takes a few lessons in private in
the halls which are beginning to be opened
for that purpose. She submits to the in
dignity Of a strap about her waist and to hav-
ing her machine guided by an attentive but
statuesque masculine person. She dIsburses
s. for five half hour lessons and then usu-
ally she goes back and pays s. for five les
sons more. She cannot learn as easily as
child who has an instructive notion Of
balancing, and she pays her teacher
higher rate than he charges man, to sugar
which pill he assures her that women loarn
more rapidly than their brothers because
they are more docile and panstaktRg.
When she has caught the secret Of the
motion she takes a spin in the park soLqe
bright afternoon, and on Sunday her cavs-
lier, instead Of inviting her to a buggy ride
on the riverside drive or along the bOule-
ward to Coney Island mounts her on the
tandem two-wheeler in front of him and
the novelty Of bicycling adds to the pleas
ure. The bicycle and tricycle. will shortly
be the summer afternoon vehicles for love-
making.
Bertha Won Hillern, the pedestrian took
bicycle to Virginia with her, but prefers
walking. Mrs Josephine Redding, the edl-
tor of two well-known art periodicals, at
tributes to the bicycle her recovery from
overwork and nervous prostration. Mrs.
Florence Finch Kelly, the lately risen
novelist, is another Of the Central park de-
voices Of the wheel.
Canoeing on the Hudson is sport which
becomes steadily more popular among
womel who summer in town. The Kniek-
erbOcker Canoe Club now has sixteen lady
members, some Of whom own canoes, open
or decked, Of their own, and one of whom
expects in company with her husband to
start on canoeing and camping cruise.
The problem of earning their own living
is one with which scores of thousands of
women are brought to face every year, and
being very ugly, hard and ungetrounda-
bic problem, seen from squarely in front
with the wolf snarling in the background,
it is q matter of interest and congratula-
,tlon TO many women when one ingenious
'toiler contrives a new solution. To market
for ones neigbors is the latest resource of
which | have heard. The marketer is
widow who is thorough domestic econo-
mist ana was accustomed to setting u good
table. In her present strait rather than
take services as a houseKeeper or cater to
ooarders, she takes advantage Of the fact
that 80 many young housekeepers cannot
tell rib roast from chuck steak by the
look of it, and that so many Others live too
far from the best city markets to secure
cheap rates in daily buying Her cards as
a marketer for meats, fish, groceries and
fruit, Offering her services by the day,
week or month were distributed in n region
of swell apartment houses. One or two of
the Easter brides, intent on suiting newly
made benedicts, gave her her first employ
ment, the business grew after that by It's
own natural expansion. She devotes the
afternoon to calling for orders, though
many of her patrons are beginning to send
them by mail. In the morning she markets,
securing the city for places where special
ties are made Of this or that delicacy. She
makes point of getting the lowest quota
tions for everything in season and is able
with most dealers to secure wholesale prices,
thus saving her patrons often more than

There passed me within a block or two
on Broadway recently two interesting
women. Annie Louise Cary Raymond looks
as if the world went well with her. She is
serene, almost beaming. She has grown
stout Eince she withdrew her still glorious
voice from the concert platform and if she
were not so large and well proportional,
she might be dubbed fat. She is a creamy
blonde, with fair, soft wavy hair, low fore
head, and round chin under which bonnet
strings nestle contentedly. She wears dark
blues and delicate grays and seldom allows
herself much anxiety over her costumes
She belongs to the Rubenstein club, must
cal organization composed entirely of ladies',
and if ever prim4 donna retired grace
fully and lived ideally among loyal friends
after her reinforcement Mrs. Cary-Ray-
mond is the woman.
Mrs. Marguerite Moore stands for diff
ferent type altogether. Tall, slender and
dark she is the traditional piquant Irish
woman of good family. She makes bright
speeches on the Irish question, and is fond
of telling how, when she helped Miss Annie
Parnell TO found the Ladies' Land League
to assist eyicted families, she was sent to
Tulamore Jail She lived three months
rent free"-she is a land reformer-was
then released with other suspects and came
to America Her dark blue eyes twinkle
vivaciously in conversation. E. p. H.
