Incse are divided, Dut the pIalts are lald
in so deeply that they can scarcely be dis
.inguished Us divided. The front and sides
have deep box plaits. and in the back there
nrc six fat plaits, which fall in such
manner when the rider il seated that none
can notice the division.
There are some other designs and new
ways Of developing the general models
here mentioned. but none OF them Is
marked by dclicaCy or good taste. To sum
up, n bicycle suit should be neat, compact,
durable dustproof, and when made OF
cravanctte it can be also waterproof. 1t
needs TO be strong and il should be of the
quietest and least noticeable coloring.
There is such thing AS a lady wearing
a norfolk jacket and pair of trousers on
wheel in such manner as to appear
modest and sweet. And there is a way by
which she might attract vulgar remarks,
though clad in long skirt. IL Is all IN
the way she wears her clothes, and the
look in her eye
1t seems to me that in view Of the IN
certainties of our eastern climate IL would
be best for lady riders TO have their gar
ments made Of Cravanetted serge or other
weayes of wooden goods. 1t would not cost
any more nor are the cravanetteS any
heavier. Serges, cheviots and indeed sew
eral other woods are cravanetted, which
process that makes them waterproof.
A few ladies carry little tightly rolled
bundles strapped to the back Of the wheels.
| These contain neat and warm little gon
capes, which are made short so as not to
catch in the handle bar, and they have
| straps which keep them from blowing over
the head. These are made indiferently
of the same stuff as the rest of the cos
tune or of other material entirely. All

of a storm is of excellent service.
Whipcord has been used for very swell
suits, but it has the disadvantage of grow
/ ing glossy by very little wear. Suits OF
| whipcord with sack coats, are shown, and
| they look very pretty The coat Is cut
| haring in the back, but not more so than
| the coats for men. There are three pockets,
| and they may be single or double breasted.
| Caps Tams or toqucs of the same material
may be worn. Such suit rs this. mean
| ing with long divided skirt. would be very
| suitable for middle aged ladies. Il Is not
| the young people alone who ride upon safe
| ties.

her hand on at once, and IL they were all
| in one pocket they would weigh il down
| unreasonably.
| Gowns for trips in the mountains should
be as light and as firm and as soberly
| made and colOrcd as bicycle suits. Bran
| bles and rocks and Wet grass all have a
habit of catching TO such gowns and soil

/ for tho annual exodus are generally cut
| princess style, with the skirts just reach

and they are laced high above the ankle.
