The best bicycle rider at Bar Harbor
is Mrs. William c. Denny, of Boston,
who is out on the Ocean Drive or
Bay Drive every morning in smart
short skirt of cheviot, with blouse and
high russet shoes.
The most graceful rider is Miss
Pauline Whitney, whose engagement
to Almeric Hugh Paget does not pre-
vent her taking a most lively interest
in the wheel. In white serge costume
with blue facings, or in trim fitting
black, with touches of white here and
there, she is invariably one of the most
picturesque figures that spin past the
bold mountain barriers or through the
picturesque glenS.
Miss Alice Webb, daughter of DR..
Seward Webb, is another of Bar Har-
