The Balloon Sleeve Must Go.
Harper's Weekly,


Much interest attaches to the r,imor
which comes from London that the Prin-
cess OF Wales and her daughters have
been lately seen in public in gowns with
small sleeves and marrow skirts. This bit
OF intelligence does not necessarily clinch
the doom of the balloon sleeves and the
letter A skirts. but it viii tend to make
prudent investors wary OF locking up much
capital in those varieties. OF course, the
balloon sleeves must go presently. When
fashionable mothers began 10 put Them en-
little boys legged night gowns. II became
apparent that the taste for them had come
to be all extravaganza. and could not last.
But Ii will be a shock to miss them.
Doubtless we will find our friends much
changed when we get down to their real
selves again. Some who have grown stout
won't shrink as much as we expect, and
others who wore away in the hard times
perhaps will shrink much more. But let
us have the facts at any cost. especially
as there must be material enough in the
present sleeves and skirts to cut ever into
anything conceivable, and have enough
left over to clothe child.

Those Bicycle Costumes.
Harper's Weekly.

The men seem to be having almost as
much trouble over their bicycle costumes
as the women. There are hotels, it
seems. that will not entertain men in
knickerbockers. and they are by no
means as welcome in all places in their
bicycle clothes as with trousers that flap
about their ankles and modsh shirts. 1t
is largely to this consideration Of clothes
that the far-seeing look for the preserva-
ton of the horse and the continuance OF
some of the oId-fashioned methods OF con-
veyance. If men could live and move and
transact their business in golf stockings
and knickerbockers, and women in bloom
ers or short skirts. the bicycles progress
might be as sure as ii has been swift. But
as il is. the formalities of life, such as
they are initiate gently, but firmly,
against the bicycle. and though they are
not effectual to hold back. they do make
a little for its restraint.
