This dress, as it fulfills the conditions
demanded for swift movement through

pears incontestably aesthetic, as it is
nodded admirably to the woman, it would
seem without dispute to be feminine.
French women evidently agree that it is
both, for the cultivated of all classes.
bourgeoise, aristocrate and princesse,
have adopted it and the sport with unani-
nous consent. This they would never have
done if there were in it any default Of
taste, for women will not make themselves
ridiculous, and Partisan women, with an
art critic to cry at them from every corner,
would hardly find it pessible to make
great mistake.
The taste of Paris has judged bifurca-
ton of the lower garment to be on the
bicycle both beautiful and feminine.

''The most genial fellow I ever met"
said Dave Burlington, Of Brookville. the
other day, was a man in a one-horse
wagon. never saw him before in my life
that I know Of, but he knew ME. He
caught up to ME just above the iron bridge
that leads to the depot. The bridge was
being repaired, and horses and vehicles
had to ford the stream, while foot pas
seDgers could pick their way across on
plauks.
Hello, Buff" he said. cheerily. "Get in
and I'll haul you over"
IT didn't altogether like the idea," con-
tipued Burlington, "but he greeted ME with
such hearty cordiality that accepted his
Invitation. He drove into the wafer, and,
not knowing exactly where the best ford
ing place was, he soongot in up to the
hubs, and then over the wagon bed.

front of the cafes of Suresnes, a village
at one Of the gates of the Bois, in all that
glittering, interminable line of overlap
ping wheels that take siesta while their
owners taking refreshment, fully one
half seem to belong to the women, and as
many women course the Bois on wheels as
men. Whatever result may come of it,
the flowing tide has become maelstrom.
The dress is rough wool all the year
round and for the most part remains
a light brown, but fine ladies may course
their chateau grounds in more luxurious
stuff and colors than taste would wear
on the public domain. Rich dress is of
dark green or blue cloth with leather ap-
pliques. For the bodice favor lies between
the figaro and blouse. For wear with
blouse the latest chic is a belt of elastic
fastened with straps of leather, in width
from three to six inches, and preferably
white or pale gray. 1t Is comfortable
as it gives with the wearer's movements;
also its contrast to the darker costume
gives character to the blouse dress.
An occasional costume has the figaro
prolonged into short basque of some three
or four inches depth, but these are inferior
in both beauty and popula rity to the
other two mentioned forms. Stockings are
of plaid or other pattern that serves to
break up the long lines, or else they are
of brown or black.
In country wayside inns and in the pa
vilions of the park charming pictures are
to be seen of groups of two or three veloce

Murderer Garrett's Desperation.

LEBANON, Pa, May 1.-Charles Garrett
the wife murderer, who is TO be hanged on
Tuesday nexJ, sent for District Attorney
SelU2er and several newspaper men yester-
day, and when they arrived whipped out
big dirk, which he had concealed on his
person. 1t is feared that he intended TO
kill the district attorney, but that official
gave the prisoner to understand that he
was afraid Of nothing Garrett displayed
some temper, and then declared that the
knife had been given him by Jules Ferry,
a fellow prisoner, "A week after the razor
had been found upon him. He called at
tention to several bars in his cell which
had been cut through and the grooves
filled with soap, Then he asserted that
his sister, Sallie Garrett, gave Ferry file,
which Ferry had refused to give to him.
1t is believed that Garrett had intended
killing District Attorney Seltzer but that
his nerve failed him. The knife was taken
from him, and he will be closely watched.
