WOMEN on TIE BICYCLE

There was gool deal of pith to
Mrs. Stanton's remark in reply to
Bishop Doane that women are riding
to suffrage on the bicycle" They
may not be riding to suffrage. but
they are riding everywhere and every.
whittier they want to go. Certainly
and conspicuously they are riding in
to any sort of costume it suits Them
to put on. Boomers are getting SO
common that it seems possible that
the untutored eye will presently dwell
upon them without n shock. The
more circumspect American ladies still
Keep out of them, and may never
come to prefer them to skirts, but the
young and giddy experiment with
them pretty freely Was there ever
anything SO elicacious to give woman
nm idea of what she could do if she
tried rs the bicycle? Soberly speak
ing, If she had to choose between the
ballot and the bicycle rs n means of
development and advancement, she
might better cleave to the bike. IT is
worth more to her than the ballot. II
Is more fun, more use, less trouble
and very much less costly. There was
pith in what Mrs. Stanton said. but is
there not some substance in the suo-
gestion that the bicycle has brought
women so many new opportunities
and privileges that she never needed
or wanted the suffrage so little as now

narrator: While l was chopplng down

young chicken. / picked the snake and
chicken up and carried them TO n
