Very many ladies' are going to ride
bicycles the coming season in this city;
some for pleasure, some to reduce their
weight. New wheels are being bought
every day. And right here it is not
amiss to say that the Kenosha dealers
are right up to date in this line. There
are indications that boomers, even, will
be worn to limited extent, but the
greatest objection the ladies, as well as
the men, have to them is that they look
so clumsy and ungraceful. THERE'S no
doubt but that they are a convenience
in bicycle riding. but there is no doubt
also but that they are frightfully I'M,
becoming. This, aside from the COM
ment they cause, is enough to deter all
but the stoutest hearts. In Chicago
boomers are quite common.
The very latest for church socials,
and this scheme is not yet week old,
is a sale of girls. It was tried at Long

proceeds going to the church. The
young ladies we're auctioned off first
and sold to the highest bidder. They
were all seated on platform at one
end of the hall, in such way that it
was impossible for the purchaser to tell
who he was buying. Prices ranged
from fifty to seventy-five cents and one
young lady brought ST.. The married
ladies sold from twenty-five cents to
$125. The average price was 81 cents.
The purchasers with the ladies they
| had bought had the privilege of eating
good supper with them.
