Tar more pulssant than all the diess re-

fifty years. Mrs. Bloomers, who first wore

through the influence of this noiseless
little machine, very few years from
now women will actually be able to walk
without sweeping the dirty streets and
carrying the filth OF the sidewalks into
their homes. Men discovered that flap
ping coat-tails were an inconvenience on
the bicycle. and they were discarded for
the roundabout and the sweater. Women
are learning that long skirts are not onIv
lnconvenlent but dangerous, and the OBJ
Jectlonable garment must go and the

formers, health-corset colporteurs or
equal rights conventions in accomplish
ing the desired result. The bicycle dress,
having given women taste of sensible,

some similarly free habit of dress will
be adopted for general use. There is at
least fair prospect that through this
innovation they will learn to dress sensi-
bly,, comfortably and beautifully on all

There is not room in this article To

FASHION NOTES FOR MEN.

er any article requiring the touch of deft
and skillful fingers being considered
elegant.
These ties c'me in brilliant brocades OF
botb delicate and pronounced design, out
black is and always Will be popular.
American men, particularly New York
ers are rapidly acquiring the art of Great
ing their own fashions without being
chained down to European fashions.
What is worn and adopted as fashionable
IN New York is as often accepted as a
set fashion as the fashions set by society
leaders in Paris and London.
Gentlemen's walking sticks are made
to be useful as well as ornamental. From
one silk umbrella can be drawn and
screwed TO the stick Another contains
measure for the height of horses and has
a spirit-level attachment. Still another
has a receptacle for nickles and pennies,
a convenience for those who ride in street
cars and cross ferries. Another beautl-
fully carved and quantity shaped stick
comes with perfectly constructed little
watch set in crystal handle.
The question of gloves for men is a
much discussed one at present. If a man
have ;ressntable well-kept hand it is
good form to leave it uncovered and
gentlemen, when presenting themselves
on ceremonious occasions with gloves on,
are allowed to remove them at their
pleasure. AS to color, pearl tinted with
self stitching, accompany full evening

not arbitrary, great freedom as to color
and as matter of fact wearing them at
all, being granted more and more.

Chivalry Growing Scarce

Virginia has undergone many changes
since the war, although some of the char
acteristics of the ante-b belum days still
remain. 1t is unfortunate, If true, that
the chivalrous Virginia gentleman, the
typical T. F. v. is growing scarcer.
Some Virginians profess to believe, how
ever, that no one can be born on Virginia
soil and NOT be chivalrous and courteous.
In Kentucky an unfortunate merchat saw
bankruptcy confronting him. and to
save q portion OF his property he invoked
the name of his wife and the assistance of
his friends. The creditors instituted pro-
ceedings to recover certain property, and
in the course OF the proceedings his
friend, native Nirginiao, was put on
the stand. All went well until the wit
ness was subjected to rigid cross-exami-
nation by lawyer, himself a native of
Virginia. The witness went blunderng
along at such rate that his lawyer felt
it necessary to interfere and tell him that
he was not required to answer questions
which would incriminate himself. After
the close of the case, which resulted dis
astrously to our accommodating friend
f:om Virginia, he expressed great indig-
nation for the humiliation to which he
had been subjected. II was never IN nv
life treated with SO little courtesy he
said. ''The opposing counsel did not
act at all like a gentleman, sir. l ex-
pected entirely different treatment. es-
pecially as | learned that he was Vir-
ginlan and he knew | was from that
state. No. sir; In the old days no Vir-
ginia gentleman would cause another Vlr-
giinia gentleman the slightest EN- barrass-
ment because of SO paltry matter, nor
would he seek by set interrogatorIes to
make him contradict himself. No, sir p;
it is objectionable, sir, and all for the
purpose of increasing the dividends of a
few Yankee clients whom he never saw.
l am convinced, sir, that your lawyer
never came from Virginia at all, sir; he
must have come from West Virginia. -

this that matriomny must be an aid to

give Mrs. Astor handicap of twelve and
still beat her, but the bonny Philadelphia
girl who married the great New York
millionaire has not given up hope that
the end of the season will find her the
champion.
The caddies here make Lenox grounds
unique from all others. Each of the play
ers has her own particular caddie, who
watches the course OF the game with fe-
verish interest. These little fellows have
picked up fine knowledge of the game
and their loyalty TO their mistresses is so
intense that juvenile rows are frequently
the result of arguments as to which lady
is the best player. The clever caddie is
