WOMEN OF FASHION
The Latest Models i'm Hats are
Perfect Beauties.
HOW BONNET STRINGS ARE WORN
An Industrious Woman Can Achieve Dream
in Millinery-New Hats Seen on the
Streets of Late.

New York, April %, 1891 Special cor
respondence of The HERALD. A chapter on
hats is always welcomed, for the bonnet
forms such an important part of a woman's
wardrobe that she cannot afford to give 1t
other than careful consideration.
The latest models in hats show them to be
dreams OF tulle, lace straw, flowers, lace,
feathers and birds. They are very small,
the majority of them, and those that are
large of such fine delicate open texture
that the size Of the brim does not materi-
ally add to the weight, nor in appearance
does it stamp the hat as being the large
shade hat which its circumference would
suggest if the brim were of solid material.
AT the theatre, at morning weddings and
on calling expeditions, one sees these i'm
meDse lace straw hats. Yet so open are
they and so delicate that ones view is
scarcely DISTRACTED by them nor does the
wearer appear to be burdened by the weight
of her head-gear.
Rush straw forms the material for many
pretty models. One of the newest ones Is
hat in fantastic shape, caught up on the
right side with three large scallops. The
scalops are fastened to the topof the crown
with sprays of lilacs. Loops. of green
ribbon stand upright at front and back,
and green ribbon velvet strings are tied
under the chin in tiny bow. Another hat
becoming to large decided features and
wavy hair is bishops hat. 1t is three
cornered and comes in fine black straw.
One point sits directly over the right eye.

bicycle, and will this summer conduct BIZ
cycle party through the Hartz mountains.
All will use safeties. Now that one Amer
lean wheel-Mr. Stevens'-has been around
the world, their merits are getting to be
pretty well known abroad.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of
the present cycling outlook is the number
of women who wheel. Here the difference
of motive in the sexes comes out strong.
Men wheel because they want to, women
because others do. Mr.. Richards, the man
ager of the New York house Of the great
Columbia company, says that it makes an
immense difference whether bicycling starts
right or wrong in town. If women of
character and prominence happen to take
to the wheel first IN place, the dealers are
happy in plenty of orders. II the sport
'starts wrong it may languish for years
unless the leaders happen to take hold of it.
The cycle makers in England aad Amer
lea could afford to present the Princess of
Wales wheel in solid gold for her part in
popularizing the sport
Robert Bonner says that the bicycle rider
will never catch up with the trotting horse
for single mile, but Mr.. Bonner is pre-
JUDGED witness and apt to be mistaken.
The mile record has been much more rapidly
reduced by bicycle riders than by trotters,
and that the makers have not exhausted the
possibility of improvement is altogether
probable. The cushion tire proves to be not
much of an improvement upon the old solid
kind, but great things are expected of the
pneumatic tire, which consists of hollow
rubber tube blown full of air. The great
trouble with this tire so far is that it has to
be made soft and flexible and soon wears
out and bursts. 1t may be doubted whether
it will ever be much used on cheap road
machines but for track racing it is certainly

THEY ALL RIDE NOW
Astonishing Recent Growth of
the Bicycle Habit.
NEARLY HALF A MILLION RIDERS
The Question of Road improvements
Women Riders Wear-A Family
Party ON Wheels.

ORANGE, n. j., April %, 1891. Special
correspondence of THE HERALD. IA few
years ago there came time when cycling
seemed to reach its limit One would have
said that it was likely to remain stationary,
or even to decline in public favor.
Since that time a few things have hap
pened, however, which have changed the
appearance of things wonderfully. The
perfection of the safety wheel has made it
possible to ride without the constant fear
OF broken nose. The invention of the
ladies' bicycle has relieved the weaker sex
OF the burden Of third wheel and set
women all over the country to cycling. The
pneumatic tire has placed the bicycle racer
abreast of the trotting horse for short dis
tances and away ahead of it for long ones.
The prices of machines have dropped as
their quality improved. The improvement
Of the common roads has been due largely
to the persistent clamor of cyclists and re-
acts to increase their number. Here in
Union county, New Jersey, for instance,
where road making has been reduced to a
science, the valuations have increased
$4,000, 900 in very short time, largely due
to wheelmen and road makers. s'The
Oranges" are the paradise of bicyclists
about New York, though the city itself Of
fers nothing like so many advantages for
them as Boston, Rochester, Buffalo, Wash
ington, Chicago, and even smaller places
The metropolis lags behindin nearly every
thing.

A Fable.

A pert young ostrich, inflated by the
beauty of his growing tail feathers, en-
countered hippopotamus taking the
evening air by the bank of the river in
which he was conducting his business.
Sauntering insolently by, the bird re-
turned the sedate beasts salute with a
negligent nod, affecting at the same
time to yawn. "My young FRIEND" said
the hippopotamus, in tone of reproof,
''if you must indulge in that practice,
let me at least show you how it is done
by those who have pursued it from
youth" With these words he split his
face, and, laying back the lid, exposed a
cavern which presently closed on a para
lyzed ostrich. Then the level beams of
the sun fell with superfuous illumina-
ton on the features of hippopotamus
already lighted up by sanity smile.
In the social game the bumptious youth
who plays splendor of attire against an
expert pair of jaws courts the destruc-
ton awaiting any other flushed bobtail
that runs up against any other pair

attached they wear Tam O'Shanter cap a
pretty toque with birds feathers. or any
thing which does not flap or catch the wind.
The owner of one of the nattiest cycling
costumes in the country described it to me
somewhat as follows: sit is made of dark
blue serge with Greek fret of light blue
about the bottom of the short skirt, another
light blue fret upon the belt and still an
other, narrower, on the collar. The soft
felt hat is dark blue, with light blue cord
about it. Tailor made? Why, of course,
you goose"
Dark colors. black, blue, gray and brown,
short skirts absolutely devoid of trimming,
close-ftting bodices; these have been the
rule in ladies' cycling costumes. This sum-
mer an element of divergence will be intro
duced by the liberal use of starched shirt
fronts and vests of very mannish aspect
by smart young women. When the very
hottest weather comes, thin, loose silk
blouses will be the most worn.
The English Bicycling Ne,0s says that
ladies' college debated the question whether
wheeling was proper sport for women.
Afterwards the women voted Oh it, thirty
two favoring the sport, fourteen denounc-
ing it, and seven hedging" 1t is difficult
to see why any one should wish to negative
such a question, provided the woman has
time, money and strength. Or rather, time
and money alone. The strength comes by
using it.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1891-04-26

There are between 100000 and 100000
wheels in the country, not counting the
myriads of children's velocipedes. AS some
of the cycles are hired out and some owned
in partnership and some are tandems and
carry double, there may be not so very
many short of half million regular and
occasional wheelmen in the country.
That is not all. In the past the athletic
clubs frowned upon bicycling. They do SO
no longer. The great New York Athletic
club set the example in the new order of
things by combining with the Citizens
Cycling club, and using the Citizens club
house as bicycle annex. The Manhattan
Athletic club not to be outdone, set aside
quarters for wheels, organized cycling
division and will give under its auspices
handicap road races throughout the season,
and the wheeimen are looking abroad for
more worlds to conquer. By the time they
have made the roads of the entire country
as good as those in Orange they will be as
numerous as the Russian army.
The safety or goat bicycle is the uni
versal favorite nowadays with men and
| women alike. The reasons are many. The
certainty of avoiding tumbles is not the
only one. Safeties are all practically of the
same size, and if the owner ever gets tired
OF one he has no difficulty in selling it. If
he has a big wheel the difficulty of selling
| it is tenfold. First, he has to find a man
who wants wheel OF that sort, and few DO
nova days, and then 1t is literally ten
chances to one that the purchasers legs
won't be of the right length. The dealers
like the safeties, as they are made in one
size and three styles, and there is no neces-
sity of carrying unsaleable sizes to suit an
occasional long or short legged man. Even
in racing the safety is only about five Sec
onds to the mile behind the big wheel. Such
a record as that of C.E Kluge-t1enty-fv five
miles on the road in :26 :40-shows that the
safety is by no means slow when vigorously
propelled. William Heyney, jr., has traV-
eled 1000 miles in Germany on an American

Do not make the mistake of endeavoring
20 poise this point over the nose. 1t gives
too great sharpness to the features. The
two remaining points are over the psyche
knot. The brim uprolis all the way around
and the edge of the bonnet is scalloped fan
cifiully. At the back there is a cluster Of
tips. A row of featheredge trimming is
fastened upon the brim inside of the row of
scallops. This hat has a snug, trim look
while at the same time, it is as harsh and
severe against the face as the English walk
ing hats, the plain helmet the sailors or the
derby. 1t is just the thing to wear with a
tailor-made gown.
A very pretty hat seen at the Madison
Square theatre on the first night of ALA
bama,' was of ecru lace straw. 1t was
crownless. The band of straw surround
ing the couture was very fine, and was held
in shape by almost invisible strips of gauze.
The bonnet was thickly studded with nail
heads or Jewels to represent amethysts,
emeralds and garnets. There were no other
trimmings except ecru strings, which were
fastened to the back of tie bonnet with
t.arnets. The bonnet was extremely be-
coming to the blonde wearer who had just
below it, high around her neck, a string of
immense beads. These were ostensibly of
gold, though their size warranted one be-
lieving that they must have been of tinsel
or the thinnest of gold plate. Each bead
d
were strung upon wire. The fastening
was accomplished by means of a yellow
gold tinsel bow.
The costume which accompanied the hat
and the beads was also of ecru trimmed
with Pompeian red. The sleeves and Me
dici collar were studied with jewels.
Another hat seen at the play was bon
net to be worn only upon very dressy oc-
casions. What might have been its founda
ton could not be ascertained by the on
: locker. All that was visible was row OF
blush roses which formed the outside of it
The centre was famed shape bow of blacl
lace stiff with Jet. In front jet bird
perched with outstretchhd wings. The
roses came down so low in front that they
rested upon the wearer's bangs, and in The

plate goes putting of velvet, of color to
match the costume and to go well with the
