DON'T DRESS LIKE WOMEN,
Even If, to Be Different, You Have to
Put On Skirts.

Much comment has been caused during
the week among bicyclsts and in religious
circles by the sermon of Rev. Kittredge
Wheeler pastor of the Fourth Baptist
Church, Chicago. The words that arous-
ed the discussion were:
"In discussing this subject shall hardly
venture to touch upon the bicycle cos
tune, for the reason that if | were ad-
dressing n company of cyclists in the lat
est and most up-to-date uniform L would
be in great doubt as to the sex of my
audience. L will, however. venture a sin
gle suggestion to wheelmen who are
males. and not wheelmen who are females.
Here as the suggestion. See TO il that
your costume is as masculine as possible.
Distinguish and emphasize your sex in
some way. Wear a mustache. let your
beard grow, or sew upon the back of your
costume three big, red. capital letters.
MAN
You have 10 right TO appear on the
streets in a costume worn by females If
there be only two costumes suitable for
bicycle riding, the single, closed skirt and
the knickerbockers, l say TO the men, BE
gallant, let the women have the choice,
and if they take the knickerbocke-s, do
you take what is left. BE man and Put
on the skirt Make il universal and let
the public understand it. This will dis
tinguish the sex on the wheel Remem-
Der, ! am speaking only 10 men. Never
dress like 4 woman, not even on the
wheel"
