Among the men who early felt the Dement'S
of cycline, and did not hesitate to eXpend
money. is Colonel Ben. s. Lowell, OF Boston,
Treasurer Of the John P. Lowell Arms Com

been familiar one for over fifty years. har-
ING been established in 1910. doing sport
ing goods and gun business. Being IN
kindred trade, it was but natural that tney
should engage in the making and selilnS OF
bicycles. Their success has been unbounded,
as they have made a name for the Lowell
Diamond Cycles that is a familiar house

ing Lowell Diamond Cycles.
Can it be wondered ut, then, that cychng
has become popular. when men like Colonel
Lowell spend such sums to make it so!
Colonel Lowell is Treasurer Of the John P.
Lowell Arms Company. and Is a man OF rare
business attainments, acquired by long ex-
perience and an aptitude possessed by lew.
In private life he has won the respect and es-
TEEN of every one he has been brought in
contact with, while his public record is
equally good, on five different occasions rep
resenting his town in the Legislature, serving
la both branches. He served on the STAN OF
Governor Long for three consecutive years,
and is now member CT Governor Greenhalges
staff. He has been delegate to four National
conventions. and there is not an office in the
vift OF his townsmen which would not be at
lis disposal were it not for his great business
responsibilities. There is no man in the
bicycle business more respected than Colonel
Benz. S. Lowell. and no better bicycle is made
10 the world than the Lowell Diamond.

DAINTY EVENING GOWN.

reaching halfway to the knees. The
soft, full waist had immense boufant
sleeves to the elbow and was drawn
down over the white satin lining with
slight fullness in the front; while
the collar was a frilled band OF the
mousseline with rosettes at either ide.
Around the waist was drawn o broad
yellow satin SASHA regular old
fashioned broad sash-and it tied in a
full bow at the back. This touch was
so charming and Original, as the. sash
for many day has not been in vogue.
l liked it, but madame said:
"Wait until you see all the other
appointments.
The slippers and gloves were in one
box with the hosiery. The slippers
were of yellow satin, with tiny rhine
stone buckles, and the yellow-silk
stockings were embroidered in yellow
roses, while the gloves were Of white
glace kid-the newest fashion, but l
do not think it will be a success.
The hats were large Leghorns,
picturesquely trimmed with white
plumes and long, narrow buckles at
the side. These six frocks were made
exactly alike, and this shows artistic
sense, for to have two bridesmaids in
one color and two more in another,
and so on. is horror too often per-
petrated. The great trailing train
was swept across the cloth, and we
saw the bridal robe-a perfectly plain
white dress of the heavy bride-satin,
as it is called. 1t was fastened in the
back, and bertha of rare old lace was
drawn across the shoulders and tied in
a knot at the bust with short ends
reaching the waist. 1t was most
quaint, and 1 asked madame if it was
not an unusual wedding gown. Her
reply was:
Eyes, but we thought it would be q
little bit original to have Miss -
gowned in this artistic way on the
day of the wedding. She is an ex-
quisitely beautiful girl OF the English
type and her wedding will take place
at her mothers country place up the
Hudson" The frock was absolutely
untrimmed, but one did not wish it
otherwise. The veil was " be of the
same lace as the bertha, hosh being
heirlooms, and a diamond sunburst
was to fasten it directly in front. but
no other Jewels were to be worn.
The travelling gown and several Of
the prettiest OF those just completed
were exhibited next. The going-away
dress was pretty brown crepon,
made with just touch of white, and
as the journey was only to be from one
country place to another 1t was not
necessary for the usual severe cloth
dress to be worn. This brown crepon
was very dainty and the arrangement
of the bodice especially pleasing. The
ruflles of crepon on che sleeves were
an innovation, orc we're piped with
white satin falling from elbow to
wrist. The full Paquin blouse had a
narrow piping of the white on either
side OF the front box plait, while the
collar had bang of the wE;te placed
directly in the middle and wGs covered
with brown net. The ha: to COM

Buffalo2s in q Fight.

There was trouble in the bnt1alo
herd at the Geological Garden recent
iy, which ended in as fierce battle as
hns ever been seen in the wilds of the
! West-a battle in which it seemed that
one ut least would suffer mortal
wounds, Sc desperate was It, says the
Philadelphia Press.
Early in the morning the first ink.
ling of trouble was had. Three OF
the buffaloes had attacked single
member of the herd. With lowered
heads they charged together at the
object of their wrath. Slipping nlm-
bly, aside, the latter caught one OF the
largest OF his assaillants squarely with
his horn, and the two clashed their
great, brond toreheads together with
a force that made the air resound.
They spared with their great
shaggy heads for awhile, and then
one of the others made lunge at the
offending buffalo. 1t was the act OF a
coward, but it did not daunt the brave
fighter. He swerved just in time for
the charging animal to Craze his hind
legs. Then he transferred his atten-
ton to this enemy. The two became
locked in deadly contest. Their
noses nearly touched the ground as
their heads came together. Each
glared at the other, though their eyes
we're almost together, and the flash OF
hatred that came from them BODIED no
good for the loser of the fight.
Meanwhile the other two buifaloes
io1ned in the attack. There could be
no retreat, and, clever as he might be,
the object OF the hatred of the trio
could not hope to hold out long
against them. Things began to look
pretty serious for the single-handed
fighter. He kept his foes at bay until
corner OF the pen was reached, and
then he had little better chance, for
he could not lie attacked except from
the front. Still, his chances were
small.
What might have happened no one
can tell had not several keepers, armed
with pitchforks, come to the rescue OF
the under dog in the fight. For q
time it looked as though their efforts
to quell the disturbance would be un-
ava1ling. The rage of the buffaloes
was not to be set aside so easily.
Finally, however, the yells of the
keepers and the sharp prongs OF the
pitchforks restored order and saved
the life OF the animal.

of green leaves. Upright decorations
are very much in vogue, and hats are
still used with the Alsatian bow or with
clusters of flowers ut the side, but
something in the shape of m aigrettc
is generally added and this changes
their effect very much.
Many milliners use the green aig-
rettc, which they insert in mass Of
green leaves AMI make very effective.
Others use foliage surmounted by q
few half-open buds. and I have seen
sucn flowers rs double stocks and
hyncinths, which by nature are very
erect, used IS the upright trimming,
while the hrim OF the hat was loaded
with ivy and periwinkle leaves.

Hollow Sho. SuperceGe the Solid.

In experimenting with the shells on
armor plates, solid shot has heretofore
been used. 4 recent test of shell
proves that hollow shot may penetrate
where solid ones do not go. This is
important, as 1t demonstrates that
ships carrying quantities OF ammuni-
tion and explosives must be more pro-
tected in this locality than has hereto
fore been thought necessary. The au-
thorities have not, as yet, satisfied
themselves just Why tho hollow shell
should be more powerful than the
solid, but experiments have conclu-
sivelv proved that this is the case. .-.-

TRIMMINGS FOR HATS AND BoNNETs.

Redundancy of trimming seems to
remain the rule with hats and bonnets
and is often to be regretted, as the
combination which the average mil
liner affects is anything but pretty or
becoming. One would expect that
children's hats would be made an ex-
ception to this rule, but even the little
ones are loaded down with masses Of
flowers, feathers and ribbons until
they actually look like caricatures.
For the little children huge poke
bonnets are the latest styles shown.
Roses are the flowers chiefly in re-
quest for the trimming of bonnets
and hats, with garlands and lunches
