The old stock objection of immodesty
was never well founded one, so far as
bloomers and divided skirts are concerned,
and when the modern fashionable bathing
suit is considered the accusation Of impro-
priety levelod against bicycle costumes,
like the one shown in the sketch, is turned
into satire.
AS far as convenience and safety go,
there Is no question in respect to the de-
STABILITY of trousers of some sort for rid
ing. The number Of accidents, moro or
less serious, that have occurred through
the skirt catching on the pedal or saddle
or becoming entangled in the gearing is
legion, while the necessity of having it
heavily lined and weighted, in order to
keep 1t in place while the wheel is in mo-

is adopted by women or not, the plain
facts on the trousers question are the same.

Little girls are now wearing hoods.
These can be made in any material wished,
as warmth can be provided for by an inner
lining of flannel or thin sheet of wad-
ding, an overlining being of some soft
silk. Some very pretty ones are trimmed
with fur. Amy small pieces can be used
with little management. The necessity
of protecting the cars and neck In severe
weather is now admitted, and children are
warmly dressed In close fitting oapes and
caps or hoods, not In the absurd little hats
and bonnets used year ago.

Rules For Stout Women.

Firstly. Wear soft, olinging materi-
ais. Leave heavy stuffs and fluffy stuffs
to the slim.
Secondly. Don't line your skirts.
Crinoline is for the willows.
Thirdly-Don't put balloons on your
arms. Full dropping sleeves expose you
to less ridioule and are just as fashion
able.
Fourthly. Don't tighten the waist.
1t makes you look stouter. Moreover, it
gives you tremendous hips and big
bust, and these this winter are out Of
fashion.
Filthy. Don't wear velvet bodice.
1t increases the apparent size.
Sixthly. Try satin. 1t lessons the
size.
Seventhly Wear dark colors
Eighthly and Lastly (for long sermons
have gone outl Try always for up and
down lines. Eschew cross effects.
