Wheat hung in the balance for a few

generally there was no relief to the
drouht. The forecast of the remain

Receipts were 315 cars, and that with
the strength in oats, gave the market
its steaGiness. Yesterdays activity
was kept up, only more nervousness
was noticeable among shorts.
Corrington-Hannah and Armour led
the buying in oats, with the local shorts
doing their share. Elevator people

Investigator stands bewildered and ap-
palled. II verybody OF every disposition
and temperament. and especially the ex-
tremists and cranks of all kinds. have
had their say about bloomers. and most
OF them are having it all over again every
day or so. AAlmost everything in the med
ical dictionary and the moral code has
been arrayed for and against bloomers,
and the person who has any idea of set
Ting the question on solid basis of sci
ence and fact had better give up. The
only thing to do is to decide it as mat
ter purely of individual preference. If
any one wanders now into the uomain of
argument and investigation he is lost,
and may as likely as not end up in
Bloomingdale.
1t is hard to separate the incident of
bloomers from the general : subject OF
bicycling. but it will readily be conceded
that the spread of the bloomer idea has
very materially increased the amount OF
bicycling among women, and that with
out bloomers there wouldn't be SO many
women bicyclists. although here again
comes in the inevitable argument. How
many less women bicyclists would there
be? A pretty thorough watch en- the
progress of the movement induces the
statement that the difference would be
considerably greater than would be men
toned in casual guess by the average
man or woman. So that the views of the
doctors concern bicycling rather than
bloomers, the latter question usually
being one of individual taste with the
medical men. Still, much of the benefit
the doctors ooncede as being conferred on
women by bicycling may fairly be put 10
the credit side of the bloomer question.
AT any rate the slow but sure disappesr-

would present a nightly interesting
story.
There appear to be no onlookers at the
progress of the movement. Everybody IS
either for or against bloomers and what
bloomers have come to stand for. Not
that they stand for the same thing every
where, by any means. The fierceness Of
some of the Opposition and the vehem-
snce of some of the advocacy is one of
the most interesting features. Another
is the quarters from which either come.
Sometimes you find opposition where. you
expect it, and advocacy where you are
not surprised to knowof it, but just as
often you find either in just the places,
and coming from Just the persons, where
it is least looked for. Some churches
have forbidden their members to wear
bloomers, and in others the pastors and
pillars heartily approve of the apparel.
1t has even been tolerated in the choir
and at prayer meeting. Hearts have
been sundered by the separate leg en-
easements. and again bloomers have
drawn soul to soul. Husbands have
coaxed their wives into wearing them,

OF course the formation of such a club
in small village caused immediate and
deep trouble. But the young men were
stanch, and so were the bloomer girls,
and here tho matter seems to be resting.
In many other parts of the country SINH
lar organizations have been formed am ong
the young men. And where the opposi-
tion has not crystallized into club it has
vet been strongly shown. Boomers have
been the subject at hundreds of debating
societies, and the reports of the proceed
ings show remarkable strength of oppo-
sition among the young men of the corin-
try. It might be said that the opposition
is much strongest in the country dis
triots. In big towns young men take
these things differently.
The young men of Birmingham, Ala,
took very novel and effective means of
discouraging boomers. The south has not
taken to bloomers to any great extent
Indeed, bloomers are still something

thousands would view with horror the
idea of leaving off skirts altogether. They
claim that bloomers are by no means a
necessity in bicycling, as is urged by
the bloomer girls. And they seem to
prove their position, too. But:ths phase
OF the question. the opposition OF the
average, ordinary woman to boomers
while undoubtedly one of the strongest
points on the anti side of the bloome
question, is one of the hardest to present.
The investigator can best get evidence Of
it by talking with his women friends.
1t is safe to say that among men who

and fizzled out in the liysterical wind up

ance of the corset from the bicycling
girls costume may be credited fairly to
thefhloomers. 1t is hardly likely that if
she hadn't first abandoned skirts she
would have been disposed to such rev.
olution as to abandon corsets. The great
service to womea in causing them, first,
to take exercise, and then to wear ra-
tional dress that makes the exercise mo
enjoyable, is a point over which the
bloomerites are wrangling with the ants
for share of credit. Not only that, but
the oldtimers among the dress reformers
If the expression. which they bring on
themselves by their arguments, may be
pardoned-are disputins with the bicycle
girl for the credit of boomers.
They assert that if the bicycle had been
invented years ago no woman would have
had the audacity to ride one. They OBJ
ject to the claim that the bicycle is doing
more month than the dress reform
ers have done in half a century. They
say bloomers are not the fruit OF the BIZ
cycle, but the flower of seed which dress
reformers planted thirty or forty years
ago and nave been carefully tending ever
since. The bravery of the dress reform-
ers, arguing Tor their ideas in the face of
censure and ridicule. they say, prepared
the public mind for the advent of bloom
ers. This is only one of the side currents
The herald., 1895-09-15

of disputatior that branch off from the
maelstrom of the bloomer question.
= Opposition to bloomers has appeared
from every source, and under a most in
teresting variety of circumstances. Some
of it has been intensely serious and much
of it has been seriu-comic, but it all has
been decidedly sturdy. Clergymen of
every denomination have expressed en-
phatic disapproyal of the costume and all
that it stands for and all they think it
points to. Quite crusade against bloom
ars has started in ST. Louis by the Rev.
Father Walsh of st. Bridget's parish, ana
he was Joined by clergymen of various
other Christian sects. Father Walsh pos
sitively forbade the young women of his
congregation to wear bloomers and even
discouraged the riding of bicycle. But
his opposition against bloomers was un-
yielding. He was ably seconded in his
crusade by the Rev. w. H. Kern of the
Fourth Christian church of St. Louis.
Dr. Kern is strong advocate OF GYM

while at least one man has invoked the
