The bicycle girl.

L
The bicycle girl.
She is as different as she can be, and
when she toes in propslling her pedal 1t
takes away what little grace she may
have had. There is not one bicycle girl
out Of hundred that appears well upon
wheel for the reason that she doesn't ap-
pear natural or look comfortable. Don't
look glum girls whom you read this and
say: 1.-THE bald headed old crank that
writes the Tea Table Talk for THE NEWS
doesn't know what he Is talking about"
The fact Is, girls of the bicycle, you fail
to look trim, your skirts drag, and your
feet seem too vide and o good many
point the wrong way. Some time you will
laugh to think you did not wear becom-
ing costume, and IL you are not built SO a
becoming costume will look good on you,
confine your riding to the back streets
and alleys. Upon my word some OF you
girls are sight when on bicycle. You
have one redeeming trait, however, over
the men. You don't hump Your backs
like camels and look like figure eight in
distress.
| DR.. u. j. Lewis, while horsebac riding
the other evening, was instrumental in
stopping Q spirited runaway. Now, IL the
doctor had let the runaway proceed the
chances are that his services would have
been in demand to minister to the occu-
pants Of the carriage. By his brave and
generous act serious consequences were
possibly averted. The doctor, as every
one knows, is located at l29 FRIENDSHIP
street, and is Q specialist of nervous dis
eases of men.
The old man who feels young can't af-
| ford to act as he feels.
Going it while you're young means a
slow gait when you're old.
A Chicago man 10 suing two doctors for
$4,000 damages, alleging that after his
experience with them ne found that one
of his legs was too short. Is he quite sure
that that is what ails himf Perhaps the
other leg is now longer than 1t really
ought to be.
The man who claimed to manufacture |
the first handorgan In this country has |
committed suicide. This furnishes Q |
pleasing reminder that retributive justice |
is still doing business at the old stand.
The man who goes about shabbily
dressed nowadays doesn't know his busi-
ness. All things being equal the neatly
clad man will get twice the trade the Iel-
low with the dirty collar on will produce.
Having fringe on the bottom of panta-
looms and long hair used to denote
genius, but it doesn't go now. Soap and
water are plenty, and clothes cheap, and
1t is mans own fault IL he doesn't make
good appearance. The Misfit Clothing
selling clothes very low indeed.
PATHS salary has been cut nearly ONE
third, but she is still able to afford a car
riage to and from the opera. Her last
engagement Of six nights netted her
$4,000.
