Caution TO Bicycle Riders.

From the New York Tribune.
Hardly day passes that people
crossing streets or drives much
used by wheelmen do not have
narrow escapes from collisions
with the rapid and silent steeds.
Clearly, it is high time for string
ent measures to be taken to insure
greatre caution on the part of the
numerous users Of bicycles. The
use of the wheel is constantly in
creasing. tits a good thing when
used in moderation, but like most
good things is liable to be abused.
The bicycle enables one to get over
good deal Of ground with a
small amount of effort and with
most pleasurable eXhilaration.
But careful riding is essential to
salty to the salty both Of riders
and of pedestrians. We take it to
be an encouraging sign that in
Hartford a rider has been charged
with manslaughter because a
woman into whom he ran with his
wheel has died from her injuries.
The facts regarding this case
ought to be circulated far and wide
for the sake Of the effect which
they are calculated to produce on
the wheeling fraternity. There is
a growing tendency among bicycle
riders to discard the brake and the
wheel is thus under the control OF
the riders feet alone. In these
circumstance it is Of the highest
Importance that too rapid a rate of
speed should not be attained.
There are ordinances regulating
the speed at which bicycles shall
be propelled. 1t is essential that
they should be strictly enforced,
and those who violate them should
be brought to sharp account. At
the way things are going, the
bicycle bids fair to become a rival
of the deadly trolley

The capote and It's origin.

From the Philadelphia Times.
A great many years ago the
Princess of Wales settled down to
wearing a small bonnet, called a
capote. Ever since then capotes
have been fashionable. Sometimes
they set closely, sometimes they
.flafe smartIy in front, but always
they set snugly to the head at the
sides, aud they are always called
capotes. The Princess no longer
has neck that looks well when
barred. Like all of her family,
there is a faint in blood, and hers
settled in her neck, leaving an
unsightly scar; so she always
wears a collar Of diamonds close
about her neck on a band of black
velvet when she is in court dress,
and she wears strings on her
capote-always strings. She
changes the style slightly, but not
enough to notice from year to year
and through her judiciOus man.
agement of the strings people do
not see that the cords under her
chin are painfully in evidence. 1t
must be confessed that she has set
very good example, which
elderly women would do well to
follow. Strings will hide ten years
of a wOman's age after 40.

Looking Well and Doing Well.

Hooking Well and Doing Well.
"Do not forget" said Mrs.
Henrotin, President of Sorosis, in
a recent talk, to emphasize the
importance Of the social side Of our
progress of women. The moment
we lay aside the amenities and
graces Of life and think little of
what pertains TO the decorative
principle of existence, so to speak,
we cease to be what our hus bands,
our brother and our lovers have a
right to expect, the charming and
gracious hOstesses and entertainers
Of our homes. i am always glad to
see woman before the public
make herself as beautiful as posi-
BILE. | was glad last summer
throughout every session of our
Worlds Fair meetings TO note that
most of the women attended in
elaborate dress and gave attention
to the thousands and one graces
which make up the atmosphere Of
the patrician drawing room. We
can not afford to lay aside our
woman's prerogative to study to
be charming merely because the
gates of progress have swung aside
to let us go through"
