vocating extremes that would be more
appropriate for an opera bouffe queen
than for a sensible woman who whished
to take her exercise in a sensible man
ner.
The underlying principles of correct
dress for the wheel are comfort and APP
propriateness. The carrying out of
these principles need in no sense con-
fiict with good taste or merge into con-
spicuousness.
There is perfect freedom in a skirt,
provided the skirt is made as it should
be.
The woman who rides is obliged not
only to dress with due regard to her
appearance when mounted, but also
should exercise the same care in re-
gard to an attractive and incOnspicu-
Gus appearance when she dismounts at
the door of her friends house, the
store, or to enter hotel, or wherever
her faithful wheel may take her, on
business or pleasure bound.
The fundamental principal of COM
fort for wheelwolnan lies in the I'M
derwear. Corsets should never be worn
under any circumstances. Neither is
it desirable to ride without any sup
port for the body, especially if the
rider is inclined to stoutness. An
equipoise waist from which the bones
have been removed is the best substi-
tute for the corset, as then the mus
cles are allowed to have full play, and
are not CONSTRUCTED in any way. Union
underwear is now so universally worn
that it would seem almost unnecessary
to recommend it; but upon the wheel
it becomes almost a necessity, doing
away with much unpleasant thick
ness around the hips.
A pair of full Turkish trousers, made
of black India silk, will be found an
admirable substitute for the petticoat.
If preferred, equestrian tights are
also extremely comfortable. I4eggings
are stiff and uncomfortable adjuncts,
and are not necessary. They interfere
with the ''anlxle motion, = which should
be cultivated by every woman who
wishes to ride gracefully.
For summer wear, low shoes and
ankles covered with smooth black
stockings are the most comfOrta BILE.
The form of the skirt is by far the
most important part of the wheel
woman's attire 1t should flare from
the hips, SO as not to hoop around the
ankles or bind across the knees.
The skirt should clear the ground
about four inches, and be lined with
silk or satin to prevent clinging. An
Elton jacket or habit waist, as one pre-
IerS, makes a naLty ana FEMININE
adjunct to the skirt. This can be ex-
changed on warm days for the ever
popular shirt waist of cambria or silk
Given wheel properly adjusted for
her height and weight and few gen.
eral directions in regard to dress, any
woman with ordinary intelligence and
taste may rest assured that in riding a
cycle she is doing nothing which de-
tracts from her dignity or personal ap-
pearance, but on the contrary, she can,
by exercising her good taste and never
losing sight of the principle of appro-
priateness, soon find herself in the
full enjoyment of a pastime not only
unsurpassed for its Hfe-giving quail
ties, but which will prove itself to be a
veritable fountain of beauty-Har-
per'S Bazaar.

SHE SAW THE ALAMO MASSACRE.
Sonora CandeIaria Is the Sole Survivor OF
That Tragic Event.

Sonora CandeIaria Is the Sole Survivor of
That Tragic Event.
A scantily furnished little adobe hut
in the Mexican quarter of San Antonio,
Tex, is the home of the Sonora Candle
laria, one of the women who lived
through the hell of the Alamo massacre
in the Texan war for independence and
now the sole survivor of that dreadful
event. The sonora is now 100 years of
age and until a recent illness was quite
active and alert, quick to perceive and
understand. Wrinkled and scanned, al
most toOthless and with but little hair,
she is not pleasant object to contem
plate, but is still wonder and is re-
garded with superstitious awe by the
people of her race among whom she lives
The old woman was nursing Colonel
Bowie, who lay i'll of fever in one of
the rooms of the Alamo, and was sup
porting him upon her arm in the act of
giving him a drink of water at the fatal
moment when the Mexican soldiers rush
ed in and butchered him in his bed.
She shows upon her chin the scar of the
wound inflicted upon her at the time.
When the massacre was completed, she
was one 0f three survivors, the other
two being a little girl and Colonel Trav-

The famous old fortress was original

its buildings covered about an acre of
ground Nothing is left of it now but
the old stone church, the convent which
formerly adjoined it having been long
ago demolished, together with the wall
which surrounded its garden. On one
side of this historic building is a hideous
wooden edifice, devoted to the wholesale
grocery business, which ought to be
demolished as an eyesore. 1t is said the
proprietors of this business used the old
church as a storehouse for their goods
