While the superiority and irresistible

women as for men, and if that be proven
by test and experience. some modifiCa-
ton or extenuation of the obnoxious and

be discovered or invented. as every other
demand in nature and art has heretofore
been supplied sooner or later.
At present a natty skirt. rather shorter

snort Jacket or bod ice, seems to answer
every purpose for the present make Of
Iady's wheel. Such costume is practica

A FEW THINKS
FROM THE SUNDAY EDITOR ABOUT
BLOOMERS

Boomers are the overgrown mem bers
OF the knickerbocker family. Some men
cannot tell bloomers from knickerbock-
ers, but woman can and that's the ad-
vantage of being a woman. Some people
think that bloome-s were made to wear
to church, but they wasn't; they are too
loud and disturb the service. The society
girl wears bloom ers SO that 81 he can play
leap-frog just like her brother, the milk
maid wears them so that she may milk
with both hands and hold the pail at the
same time.
Bloomers are a species of trousers badly
swollen at the knees, very baggy at the
pistol pocket and considerably out of
sha pc when you strike a match. When
was kid | mad to wear fathers old
pants nowadays children wear out their
mothers old boomers.
Boomers have many advantages. You
don't have to hold them up at street
crossings and they are tied around the
ankles or knees to keep the mice out.
They are cut decollette at the south end
and have buttons up the west side. You
can't put them on over your head like
skirt nor round you like corset. but you
have to wiggle into them one leg at a
time.
The only way to tell which side is to
be worn in front is by the buttons on the
neck band. You want to be careful and
get them on right. The first time my
wife--all Sunday editors are married or
ought to be-put on boomers | think she
made a mistake for she don't know to
this day whether she was on her way to
Sunday school or coming from prayer
meeting.
The one disadvantage of wearing
boomers is that when you fall off BIZ
cycle nobody knows whether you have
frilied underwear on or not. This is
discouraging to some girls.
There is no pi-chlorde of gold cure for
gets taste tor bloomels you might as
we'll satisfy her craving first as last.
Boomers are all right and let them
come, whether of the fullplown variety
or of the kind that are nipped in the bud
Just above the knee.

says that women have knelt TOO often
and too long. They have gone to church
often and have knelt for long periods: ::
they have knelt by cradles, adoring little,
unint ntelligent red faced morsels of hu-
manity: and the man who advances this
explanation of the knock kneed woman
maintains that it is her devotion to one
or another object which has caused this
grave defect.
Whatever may be the cause. the fact
remains. Look at the next group OF
trousered feminine byciclIsts you happen

The cure is. of course. IN exercising the

Turkish trousers. She mounted a bicycle
and the truth was known. The average
woman's legs show tendency to con-
yer se to a point at the knees. and her BIZ
cycle suit has shown it. The reason for
this SAD affliction is not plain. PERHAPS
it arises from the fact that the average
woman has been. until recently. ore oc-
cupied in amounting her face with COM
plexion lotions than IN developing her
body. She has preferred riding in the
elevated train to walking. and has chosen
staying in the house ra ther than tramp

their enforced inactivity.
