THIS FELLOW WANTS e. +.
WOMEN TO USE SIDESADDLES on
THEIR BICYCLES

"Do like to see woman riding a hi.
cycle? No; not if the rider is my sister or
my daughter or any one related me-"
The speaker was Sir John Grnlinton CT
Ceylon.

ued to reporter for the Times Herald.
land few ladies in Ceylon use them,
but lady riding a bicycle is ulheard of
there-and hope always will be. In the
first place, our Ceylon climate is too
warm for such violent exertion. and 1t is
rarely that even walking is INDUCED in to
any extent. Everyone uses rickshaw or
a carriage. The rickshaw is q cheap
means OF transportation. They are drawn
by the natives. and for sum equal to
the American cents one may be carried
for half mile. Ten cents will take you
for two-mi.e ride. So we have COM
Portable and inexpensive way of riding.
do / disapprove of the bloomer dress
Tor bicycling? Not in the least. In my
eyes it is the best part of the system. If
had my way. every woman would wear
on the street notified copy of the BIZ
cycle dress. To my mind there is some
thing inexpressbly disgusting in wom-
ems dresses touching the flthiness of
the streets. If women would adopt cos
tune consisting of pair OF well-made
knickerbockers. a short skirt reaching not
below the ankle, launty coat-faShlOned
i'll imitation OF mems. if they prefer it
with plenty of pockets, and trim little
hat, capable of shading their eyes. then
/ would consider that they were vel. and
tastefully attired for walking and shop
ping purposes, and in the house they
could return to their graceful flowing
draperies.
what do I particularly object to in
woman's riding bicycle? Well, as have
Just said, it is not her costume; that l
heartily approve of. 1t is the position
she is forced to assume. l do net care to
see woman riding a horse man fashion,
and l do not, for the same reason, care
to see her ride bicycle. the attitude is
unfeminine. But of course that is simp>.
ly a matter OF taste and custom. Ceylon
is a conservative place. and the women
have II horror OF making themselves in
any way conspicuous. / like to see men
on wheels. | think it an excellent exer-
else and capital thing for business men
who otherwise would use the street cars,
and l think that the climate here is par
ticularly adapted to make the exercise
pleasant. If women could have the
wheels with side saddles i would be
charm ed to see them ride. l have seen
many charming women on wheels since |
came to America. and l have adm tired
their activity and grace. but I have not
become reconciled to the idea, and ! do
not think ever shall be.

If the Bicycle Costume Craze Continue


carefully noting the costumes worn by
the riders who frequent Central park, the
committee was of the unanimous opin-
ion that none of the styles that they saw
would do. With common consent they
decided to adopt the picturesque uniform
worn by that famous order OF Italian in
fantry the Bersaglieri. This costume,
they think, will sufficiently suggest their
nationality. The prevailing color is dark
green. The trousers are zouave in cut,
With: white or buff iegsings. The jacket
is short and garnished with gold. braid.
under which is worn black blouse,
slashed with oarnge. The cap, the crown
ing pride of the Bersaglieri, is black felt,
with a stiff circular rim and oval top. A
huge green plume of glistening feathers
lies gracefully around the crown, extend
ing ten or twelve inches to the rear. A
strap is worn under the chin to keep the
cap at theproper dip.
One may easily imagine the fascinating
effect PRODUCED if the Society of Italian
Wheelmen should turn out in great num-
bers and come sailing down Fifth avenue
against the wind.

part successfully. The chain will prob
ably be. found very much clogged with
grease and dirt; for this couple of
hours soaking in a bath of potash is the
best remedy. To make the bath take two
tablespoonfuls of potash to basin Of
water. If the chain is of steel the rust
can be removed by putting it in water
to which has been added a tablespoonful
of sulphuric acid. but this should only
be applied to Steel as it would eat away
nickel plating. If the rims of the wheel
are OF wood a good sand papering and
coat of varnish will make them look as
good as new. If they have metallic rims
it is good plan to remove the tires and
take the rims and spokes to place where
they do nlckel-plating and have them
entirely plated. This costs comparatively
little and certainly the great improve
ment in the appearance is worth little
expense.
1t may thus be seen that with a little
care and trouble and a workmanlike
knowledge of the machine wheel may
be kept In perfect shape. and as every
ones bicycle nowadays is subjected to a
lire of criticism and comment, the owner
should have al much pride in Its appear
ance as she would have in her dress or
carriage.

SENSIBLE TALK
ON WHAT TO WEAR WHEN
RIDING A BICYCLE

Women are naturally interested in the
question of the best dress for bicycling.
AS in all other cases, the best taste is
shown in wearing costume which is
suitable. inconspicuous and safe. If q
woman intends to mount her wheel at
her own door, take a spin through the
park. merely dismounting for a moment.
it is perfectly proper that she should wear
costume as na:ty as yachting suit,
says a mother in the Times Herald. On
the other hand, il she uses her wheel as
unnecessary means of locomoton, let her
wear a dress of short length. free from
flying ribbons and decorative effects.
which Will DO merely a walking dress
when she alights. If. however. she is
making a long tour, far from the haunts
Of men, let her commune with her own
soul as to boomers or knickerbockers
Boomers from observation, seem to
catch the wind fully as much as the skirt,
and even their warmest adherents do not
claim for them any beauty save the ques.
tionable one of fitness.
A long skirt should not only be ia.
booed. but actually forbidden. 1t is a
standing menace to the rider. The acct
dents which have occurred from the
skirts catching on the pedals and cham
are not only numerous and dangerous.
but in many cases exceedingly empar-
RAISING. A woman may face header in
public, may actually smile at death, but
she cannot with equanimity forsee hav.
ing her draperies cut away to extricate
her from wheel. This is exactly the
possibility which exists in every fold of a
long skirt. A skirt should be rather scant
falling to the shoe top or an inch below,
faced and bound with leather, which
gives no surface for catching on the
points OF the gearing OF the wheel. and
also wei hts the skirt evenly. close
fitting jacket over silk or shirt waist is
in excellent taste and provides lightness
for warm summer day, or a wrap to
avoid chill. Legglns are warm for this
season, but a high-topped shoe can meet
the short skirt with comfort to the
wearer and elegance in appearance. No
petticoats should be worn under the
skirt, but eqestran tights or the silk
divided skirt. A woman thus sensible
appareled is CARRIED for any occasion
which may occur in the days pleasure
or business.
