Ride cock horse to Banbury Cross
To see young lady. in boomers, of course
Who rings with abandon the bell on her
wheel,
And makes poor pedestrians cold shivers feel.
The boomers and the pantalettes and
all the other natty divided bicycle cos
tunes are here to stay. The time is not
distant, ladies and gentlemen, when there
will be no such a thing as a lady's bicycle
any more than there will be a lady's
typewriter; the ladies will use wheels Just

we are talking about the new wheels for
ladies.
These new ladies' wheels are much more
graceful than the old bowed frames with
the net guards and that paraphernalia,
and that's not all. They run like bicycles
and not like ice wagons. There's the
point. It's no wonder the ladies haven't
all taken to bicycling when you think that
ladies have had to ride the hard-running
machines, while the men-the great big,
strong men-could ride the light, easy
runners,
The ladies' wheels with cross-bars
