With her is always pretty girl in
pure snow-white duck and they make

Every woman in New England under
seventy wheels. At least SO the look
of the streets would make it seem. The
boomers is not much in evidence in

that that there are not women to
whom his Satanic majesty's equestrian
exercise bears no comparison. A
woman in 4 skirt SO scant at the

yellow golf stockings, is almost sure to
be fool enough in addition to sit on her
wheel bent forward, with uplifted
shoulders, sunken chest and head
thrust out. Diana herself couldn't be
a beauty under such conditions. and
there are not SO very many Dianas
awheel. And yet there are pretty girls
who bike and who know how to wear
appropriate costumes. One of the most
becoming garbs l have seen is worn by
Miss Alice Belknap, daughter OF ex.
Secretary Bellnap, who rides in tan
cloth trimmed with bands of darker
leather, leather collar and cuffs, Nor
folk jacket and leather band about the
bottom of the skirt, which stops at the
ankles. With Tam OShanter cap
through the band of which is pulled
spray of golden rod, she makes as
bright picture in brown and yellow
as one could see in a weeks travelling.

There are, indeed, but very few
who know how to be idle and inno-
cent or have relish of any pleasure
that are not criminal. Every diver
sion they take is at the expense of
some one virtue or another, and their
very first step out of business is into
vice or folly. A man should endeavor,
therefore, to make the sphere of his
innocent pleasures as wide as posi-
bic, that he may retire. into them with
safety and find in them such a salts
faction as wise man would not blush
to take. Of this nature are those of
the imagination, which do not require
such bent of thought as is necessary
to our more serious employments,
nor at the same time, to sink into
that negligence and remicsness which
are apt to accompany our more sem
sual delights, but, like gentle exer-
else to the faculties, awaken them
from sloth and idleness without put
ting. them upon labor or difficulty

Foundations Of Good Reputa'
ton.

From Household Words.]
The advantage of reputation for
honesty Of purpose and truthfulness
is never more conspicuous than when
a dispute arises between one who has
such reputation and man who is
unreliable, or is suspected of being
insincere and untruthful. In many
such cases there is misunderstand-
ing, and the question becomes simply
one of venecity; in which case the
decision must, of course, be in favor
of the man who is known to be
straightforward and truthful and
against the insincere trickster. Even
in cases where the latter may be right
and the honest man honestly mistaken
the trickster suffers, solely because of
his bad reputation. His word always
needs Endorsement; that of true
man will be accepted for itself Too
much stress can not be laid on the
value of a good reputation. It is
founded, of course, On good conduct,
or what appears to be good conduct,
continued through many years.
Where it has been falsely gained it
is not securely held-a breath may
blow it away-but when good repu-
tation is based on good character it
issecurely founded and will withstand
the shock of criticism. Desirable as
it may be, it is not to be made the
object of any mans conduct. He
should aim to be sincere, truthful,
self-respecting and good reputation
will follow, and become a shield to
him when misunderstanding or in
trigues subject him to trials.
In business life there is much com.
petition and the best of men meet
those who are envious or malignant,
and suffer more or less from their
machinations. 1t is then that they
need good reputation to sustain them
against false charges or distortion
of the truth. Children have been re-
garded by different philosophers as
naturally depraved or as naturally in
nocent. It is difficult to make. ac-
curate observations, because from q
very eaaly age children are very i'm
pressible, and they begin to acquire
or develop character even before they
learn to talk. They are essentially
imitators, and their characters as
children are quickly formed upon the
models they see before them and by
the treatment they receive. It seems
to be more reasonable that they
should be naturally truthful than that
they should be naturally deceitful,
and where-ignoring the effects of in
heritance-they begin at an early age
to exhibit habits of concealment or
secretiveness, it may be that they
have initiated their elders, or that,
being unwisely ruled, they have learn
ed that they can possess sweet-meats
in secrets of which they would be de-
prived if their possession of them
should become kuown. It is therefore
important that they should be en-
couraged from the first to be frank,
sincere. truthful, and that long before
they have developed what is called
moral sense they should feel the value
of these qualities. An ofense openly
committed or frankly confessed
should be treated very differently
from one committed in secret, or con-
cealed and denied. just as the child
learns by experiehce'that the stove is

hot. and must not be touched, he
should learn that concealments and
lies are oftenses of grave character
visited by condemnation of the
severest kind, and punishment for Of
fenses not involving deceit should
never be so severe as to make the
child sneak. Thus guided from
his earliest years, the youth will de-
velop hibits of straight-forwardness
and truth-telling long before he has
learned anything about moral princi-
pies or has realized the value of a
good reputation. Indeed, he will
have but faint conception of the
value of such reputation until he shall
have reached middle age. Then he
can look back at the life history of
his acquaintances, and see where one
man of ability failed because he was
insincere and could not be trusted,
and where another made his mark
mainly because his word was as good
as his bond. But the young can not
be expected to accept these things
merely because they are told them.
No child breads the FIRE, though
warned of its effects, until he has
been bunred, and no young man ever
needed the good advice so often given
to him except through the force of
his own good character. It is this
that should be developed through his
childhood and youth by constant
cultivation of habits of frankness,
sincerity and truth, upon which to
found good reputation.
