Princess Cycler

1t only last year that the Princess Letizia
was severely reprimanded by King Humbert
and Queen Margherita for 'disgraceful
conduct" Her disgraceful conduct CON
sisted in riding through the streets of Milan
on bicycle, wearing a costume which al
described by the amazed Milanese, con-
sisted of a bolero jacket and a Bersaglieri
hat, short skirt, i very short skirt, worn
over black silk tights and with high kid
boots upon the princess feet. When this
was reported to the king and queen they
were much incensed, and the Princess Lee
tiZia was sent into retirement and disgrace.
Yet how much can take place in few
months.
Commenting on this, Mrs. Van Renssel-
aer Cruger says that such has been the
change in ideas concerning women's bicy-
cling costumes that it is doubtful whether
the Princess LetiZia would now be con-
sidered as having disgraced herself by wea r.
ing such a dress. None the less, Mrs.
Cruger does not approve of the lavish dis
play of the princess, and probably few
other ladies would. Still her offense would
now be considered venal one. Mrs. Cruger
recommends for bicycling scant skirt,
and does not approve of the CATERS or leg

The Outdoor Girl.

What if the merry maiden goes a-riding
on the wheel,
And wears graceful costume that is short
above the heel?
Can any one gainsay it, that though changed
in mode of dress,
She's of the gender feminine and not d
whit the less?
And If she dons tie bloomer or the knick-
erbocker clothes,
Is not her person just as sweet as any
blooming rose?
What if the college maiden rows shell or
SOULS with oars,
Or takes a goal in football field, or bowls
upon the floors,
Is she is any less woman, II her skin is
very brown,
Than when she trailed her skirts in mud
and wore a high-necked gown?
And if size boxes out her foe or fences like
a man,
Lacks she any fascination, whate'er her
scheme of plan?
So far as all experience of uen with " omen
goes,
For every ten of marriages nine are chock
full of woes;
The very latest woman, with her muscle,
brains, or pluck,
May bring new joys to weddedlife and give
us better luck.
OF one thing am certain from the widest
range of view,
Old-fashioDed types must stand aside and
make way for the new.
Thank heaven for the change that's come
and fascinating fads;
For me the merry outdoor girl who emu
lates the lads!

his palace.
1t is not generally known that this DO
tentate is obliged to marry many women
against his will. yet this is true The
law of Turkey forces him to take a new
wife every year. This law is about a
hundred and seventy years old, dating
from the time OF the Sultan Selin. who
wishing to abolish polygamy, had but one
wife: but the high dgnitaries OF Turkey
decided that the ancient Ia VS. should be
maintained
On tile prophets birthday. beginning at
sunset and lasting till sunrise, a holiday
is kept, on the 18th of Ramazan, a ma
tionai and religious feast. and it is at
this time the selection of a maiden, out
or the one hundred and one who have en-
tered the lists, is made.
Tie officials, who have the matter in
charge, rarely allow any of the poorer
classes 10 compete, and, accepting brides,
presents and promises of diplomatic aid,
gather the young girls together and give
them Instructions regarding dress and
the etiquette of the occasion. The dress
consists of large white linen sheet
thrown over the shoulders in Roman fash
-
loosely, and no gems or ornaments.
On the important night the Sultan
mounts a fine horse and is accompanied
by all of the palace ministers of state,
pashas and aides -de-camp in their gala
uniforms, reresenting all tie states over
which the Sultan wields his soepter. Mill
tary bands make loud and wild music, and
tile hundreds and hundreds OF soldiers,
which line the streets, carry on their bayo-
nets Chinese lanterns TO illuminate the
procession of their ruler.
At length the Sultan arrives at the Sulei-
manich Mosque overlooking the Golden
Horn, and is conducted 10 the holy carpet
or prayer rug. Here he stands vile a sermon
is preached TO him, and then he goes to the
great square. This is crowded with per-
sons of distinction, and in the center is
placed a pavilion of scarlet velvet. richly
embroidered and decorated with the Sui
tan's monogram, the Official emblem OF
Turkey. These draperies are festooned
upon silver poles, and within them now
are seen the high priest and the heir to the
throne. Around this stand the one hundred

Presently Burglar Schaffer came out. He
had his pockets full OF silver knives and
forks, and over his shoulder were three suits

saw the burglar emerge from the door and
followed him around the alley into the next

He'd lose his breath Just at critical mo-

then get so winded himself that he couldn't
stop us. OF course we would have to go on.
We were too well drilled to stop until we re-
