Begin your letter to woman friend,

appointment to Her Majesty Mrs.
Grundy. For, with logical severity
reasons this not-to-be-contradicted sau-
thority, it is henceforth to be consid-
eredboth vulgar and impertinent to
call mere friend or acquaintance
your "dear." The letter-writer directs
his pupils to begin their notes or epis-
ties with easy, friendly sentences, and
conclude with the words, esteem, re-
spect, or a new cut-and-dried phrase:
I'm hopes of an early meeting, I am
yours, etc." or ''in pleasant anticipa-
lions of seeing you soon, am yours,
etc." It is distressingly inelegant, to
write, pursues Mrs. Grundy's master

writers in the politest periods OF So

In the first place, it ought to be a
law for every woman that she should
never ride bicycle after u distinct
feeling of WEAKNESS comes over her.
For those who are beginning. especial
", and In q measure for all women,
there Is a danger Of riding out GER
tain distance, aud only turning to-
ward home when this feeling Of weari-
ness comes on. In such cases the
strain on the nervous system all the
way home is very great, and by the
time the end Of the journey is reach
ed-for 1t has become a journey by
this time-the rider Is exhausted to
such an extent that q severe headache
or some more serious indisposition Is
the result. There is no other reason
for this than the fact that she did not
prescribe for herself certain distance
before starting out, which was not to
be exceeded under any circumstances.
No ordinary woman who rides Tor
pleasure once or twice week should
do over about ten miles at time.
This is perhaps an hours ride, that
may be easily extended to an hour and
a quarter before that distance is COW
cred; and if she does not feel fresh
and in glow when she stops, she
may be certain that she has ridden
too long. Naturally there is, that
healthy tired feeling which anyone
recognizes after athletic exercise, but
it is quite different from and never to
be mistaken for the WEAKNESS which
comes from too much exertion and
straining of the nerves and muscles.
Very few women have ever been In
jured on bicycle who kept to this
rule, and limited their rides to nor
NAL distances.
The limit of distance, which is desig-
mated by the first feeling Of weari-
ness, is only little more important
than the limit of speed which the fe-
male frame is capable Of undergoing
under healthy exercising rules.
Whether a man can ride at full speed
for a long distance and still retain his
good health is doubtful question,
but it does not particularly concern us
in the present discussion. 1t is quite
certain, however, that no woman can
keep up high rate Of speed for even
a generous portion of a mile and not
create the beginnings of injuries. The
added strength required to increase
your speed even little after certain
amount of power has been expended
is out Of all proportion to the results.
There is no relaxation of the muscles
between revolutions of the pedals. nor
any let up on the nervous and nluscu-
lar strain while the speed lasts. The
heart is far more taxed than one real
ICES at the moment, and that species
of tingling or numbness in the nerves
and muscles which often results is
only a sign that they have both been
overtaxed.
This. danger is acquiring TOO much
speed is natural enough. The bicycle
runs so easily on smooth asphalt or
macadam that it is strong tempta-
tion to "scorch''-indeed, it is so strong
a temptation that as soon as a girl
has fairly learned to ride easily she
has to put deliberate check on her.
