There is a good deal Of talk in certain
quarters, mainly from people who think
themselyes wise above what is written
ana who take keen delight in their self
inovledge. adverse to the use OF the
bicycle for women. The charge that 1t
is not modest for women to ride the
blcycle is not deserving Of serious at
tention. A modest woman is as modest
ON a wheel as in n drawing room; and
even If she wears what are collectively
classed as "bloomers," her costume is
not as deserving Of notice as the bath
ing suits which women wear unchal-
lenged at all our seaside resorts. The
question whether bicycle riding is in
furious to womens health is most
important one, the answer can only be
given as the result OF experience. I'm
doubtedly harm has been caused by
excessive riding; but so 1t may be caus-
ed by too much rowing or walking.
The general testimony seems to be that
the use Of the bicycle in moderation
is beneficial TO women, and in some
cases the results have been found ex-
ceedingly good. Exercise on wheel
is so exhilaratlng that beginners. are
doubtless often tempted to ride too
much. Against this they should be
warned But the bicycle rightly en-
ployed will in all probability promote
health and happiness.

panied the proceedings Of the present
