traordinary "a suit. There have been ar.
ticles galore written upon the subject Of
"a bicycle skirts shape. Each writer has
her own opinion. based mainly upon exc
tensiye theories as TO the relative action
of wind and motion upon the garment.
The skirt must cOunteract the influence
of strong breeze that may blow. must
still be light and cool enough for summer
and withal must always be graceful

still more fertile in devising wonderful
garments that shall answer every Dur.
pose.
And, after trying them, the sensible
girl comes to the conclusion that the long.
gathered skirt, rather full, turned up in
q deep hem, is the most satisfactory skirt
TO wear.
AS have said. once in while an ordi.
nary outing skirt rides a wheel For the
fashionable skirt is almost fun enough TO
hang gracefully, and just the proper
length The only thing that may debar
1T IS its color, which may not be suti-
GENTLY subdued; or possibly, trimming
which may appear on the outing skirt.
For the bicycle skirt must be absolutely
plain, with nothing to catch anywhere.
In full skirt, there is no necessity for
an extra weight-a good deep hem will
be sufficient to keep it down.
For a long time blue and black were the
cOlors worn. Now we have taken to dust
color, for it is particularly quiet, blends
admirably with the wheel, and, in caseOf
accident or sho Tor, shows no dust or
specks of mud.
No skirts should be worn beneath. Full
trousers of the same material are all that
is needed, Beneath the trousers is the
clOsely-titting union suit of wool. In such
costume the bicycle girl is clad for all
Weathers. In summer she may wear silk
waists in place of the smooth-fitting bod
ice double breasted, buttoned, and
turned back in reyers over small, fancy
yoke, which she wears on colder days.
But, apart from this, her suit will always
be the same.
Corduroy colorod suits, trimmed with
that material, are also neat and well
wearing. A corduroy blazer looks well
over brighter colored silk waists.
A bit of scarlet introduced somewhere
into the costume is effective, although
stunned, as rule, by the girl who makes
a business of cycling
noticed little crowd of cyclers just
ahead of me yesterday, on a beautiful,
board avenue, and FASTENED up to find
out what was the matter. Just before l
reached them yOunCster called out TO a
policeman who was passing:
Il say, Gearey, have you seen it,

little chap.
The new freak, just over there"
| followed the direction of his finger,
and saw a black figure seated quietly
upon a tricycle.. Her self-possession was
wonderful, considering the curious group
that stood there gazing; for she wore
real boomers! no modified imitation, [
assure you, but the actual garment, with
the full putfs reaching just to the knee,
and with stockings below encased in ties.
She wore perfectly plain, black blouse,
a black sailor hat, and smoked eyeglasses.
Her hair was coiled in a knot at the
back. Fit hadn't been for the hair I
should have doubted my eyes. But in
spite of her rather masculine appearance
her sex was quite apparent. OF course
she was old, and had a hard, determined
look upon her face, and met all the stares
with seeming uncOncCn. 1t is never the
young and pretty girl that figures in the
dress reform. You may depend upon
that. EVA A. SCHUBERT
