wheel win go to the left and it comes
round, just like a horses head when he
wants to bite the rider. She jumps; the
wheel is higher on one side than on the
other Then she pO!ses herself on one
safe leg, and as the wheel doesn't stop,
she must hop along ike oblOug Peter
A snap shot at that attitude j. worth a
good deal If the woman knew IL, the
bicycle would stop if she stopped hopping
but when they get a combination Of hysteri-
cal fright and 81 VituS twO-step, tie jig
is never up till the rider goes down with
vision OF Stars and Stripes.
THIS attitude, as they say Of the talking
machine speaks for itself.
WRONG GUIDE TO USE
II wish you would notice said the
professor, that all the new scholars are
trying 10 guide the machine with the handle
bars. When the wheel goes 20 the left
| they try and pull it round To the right
by the handles and if one Of The BOYS ha sn'U
! good hold Of them there's going 70 be an aC-
Cident. The great trouble is to teach them
to use their feet as the helps to guide, but
a great many OF the are so sensitive or so
modest with their long skirts that YOU
can't tell what's going on until there Is
/ u sudden break somewhere.
Il hate long skirts 10 teach You saw

The real bicycle dress is the bloomer or
