to reason and they made me leave my
seat.
The lady with the vegetable garden
triumphed, but not for long.
Looking up toward the family circle,
l saw a cOlored damsel wearing a small
turban. l mounted to the circle. I
went to the colored lady. Pardon

Nothing but this; it is yours if you

In a second she swept off the little
turban she wore, placed the black vel
vet monument upon her head, gave it
two or three taps before the mirror in
the lobby, shook cut her skirts and then
taking my arm, l conducted her to or
chestra chair No. As.
Oh, if you had only seen the convul-
sive joy among the men in the orches-
ira when they saw my monumental hat
reapDear upon a feminine head. This
time the ushers had nothing to say. The
lady with the vegetable garden was
vanquished. She could see nothing
during the rest Of the piece, and served
as a focus for the opera glasses from all
over the house.

BATHING GIRLS.
Summer girls at the seashOre ought
TO rejoice that through the slow process
Of evolution the bathing suit OF today is
really a becoming attire, and not the
blue flannel bag with a string at the
middle that it used to be in the days not
long gone by.
Silk is the most popular material
used in building the more elaborate
bathing suits. IL is always light and
sheds the water. and ones exit from the
surf isn't the absurd thing that fan
mel suit makes il.
A bathing suit Of black silk has
jersey Of black and white striped silk
that IS low neeked and short sleeved.
Worn over the jersey is short bolero
Of the solid black silk, with a large
white silk sailor collar that is fastened
carelessly with a sailor knot. The short
skirt Is gOred and fits snugly at the
hips.
Some iugenius girl originated the
,dea Of covering her hideOus rubber surf
cap with a bright handkerchief OF wash
silk. and it was transformed into the
most fetching and becoming bit Of head
gear.
A bathing suit of figured wash silk
was shown me as one of the latest de-
Dartures. 1t was trimmed with a vest

veyed me with the utmost haughtiness.
Then Struggling her shoulders, she
pulled up her sleeves so that it was
impossible for me to even see the pro-
Scenium arch. Then she braced up
her feet against the chair in front, and
hOisted herself up a few inches, so that
by this gymnastic feat she succeeded
in elevating her vegetable garden even
more than before.
In a melancholy tone I said TO
Smythe, 1T seems to me I would have
been better off if I had stayed at the
club and toasted my toes in the cafe in
front of the fire l would not have
been incOmmoded or disconnected and
l would have seen fully as much OF this
piece as I am seeing now"
Hearing this the blonde lady turned
around once more and favored NE with
the most sneering smile that l have
ever seen. 1t provoked me and de-
termined to give her a lesson if I
could, for l might as well have been in

appearance Of being a deadhead owing
to his rather shabby attire. l tapped
him on the shoulder and asked him if

A TRILBY FAD
They say that the English girls are
responsible for a fad that has been in
vogue at the seaside resorts in France
for the past two years. The idea is
simply 10 DO away with shoes and
stockings altogether, and the skirt
around the borders Of the tides at ones
pleasure. OF course that means pretty
feet. pedicuring and all that sort Of
thing. but the fad is a good one, and is
adopted by country-hoHse parties large

path. This was IDEAL and he Sailed"
all the way home with his feet easily
working the pedals.
This little fact, recited to an alert
wheeling club, had the effect Of making
the members experiment little. One
day, when the wind was due south, a
party Of four good riders mounted a
quad, and with balloon tied in front,
started along Grants Riverside Drive.
The balocn actually carried them
along, and their hard work was to keep
the machine moving slowly enough to
ksep them out of the clutches Of that
dread of the scorcher, the mounted po-
hce. and clear of Instructions. The
only damage that came 10 the expert
ment was the loss of a small ways.de
dog that was accustomed TO bark at cy-
clists. He ran in the way OF the pow
erful quad and was run down.
The actual weight balloon would
carry along depends upon the day, the
wind and tine balloon, also upon the
machine. As is well known in aerial
navigation, balloon will lift a great
weight Three people cam easily ride
in a wicker car and carry with them
food, cameras, irons for ballast and
endless rope They will rise as soon as
the balloon ropes are cut.
SIZE OF BALLOON.
In bicycling the object is not to rise
into the air. If a very large balloon
were attached TO the wheel the wheel
would undoubtedly go up, man and all,
as soon as the ropes were cut. The
proper size of a balloon must be known
before much practice use can be made
Of the idea
The balloon must be large enough
hold enough air-to give a smart tug
at the wheel without being able to lift
it. That is the secret OF the balloon BIZ

and that would be forced to take 1t OIL
Suddenly an idea flashed across my
mind-an inspiration.I left the theatre
and walked a block or two until came
to a milhner's shopI entered and de-
handed Of the saleswoman to sell me
hat--the most gigantic, the most arbor-
ferrous, most pyramidal hat she had.

enormous knob of black velvet on its

orchestra it would not have produced

from every direction, and the people
climbed up on their seats to see me,
amid roars of laughter.

Scarcely had we settled ourselves in

A quad" bicycle appeared in front
of Grants tomb the other day, going at
a furious pace. Upon it sat four ath-
letic fellows resting! Their feet work
ed and they were dressed in sweaters,
but any observer could have noticed
that they were not doing their level
best-the level best that would have
been needed to send the bicycle along
at the rate it was going. No: there was
a power behind that wheel or ahead Of
it that was doing the work while the
boys did the rest!
In front of the long, vigorous quad
ruple machine there danced a great red
ball. 1t was light as air, in fact filled
with it; and its mo0ring was the front
steel of the bicycle, to which ii was
grappled with strong ropes. The balloon
was pulling the wheel in the direction 1t
was to 20. 1t was not a patented bal
loon, Just one Of the larger OF the ordi-
nary varieties, but it was doing as well
as the steam motors and the electric
thtngS that are being placed on bicycles
to do the work of legs and feet.
A FLEETING THOUGHT.
The practicability of using balloon
for bicycle motor power occurred to a
man who was carrying home bunch OF
toy balloons for his children. He tied
them to the front bar of his wheel and
started off. There were dozen or so
of the little gaudily painted things and
as they tugged at their strings the man
noticed that he had trouble steering his
wheel. A puncture occurred to him,
then he thought it was encruSted mud;
and finally he decided he must be more
tired than he thought, for the machine
