which is one OF the things needed for
young riders. Mr.. Gilbert VIII devote his
entire attention to the bicycle business
and proposes 10 add features whlch VIII

Perhaps there is no necessity Of a wheel
woman's outfit of more Importance than
her corset. To ride in comfort she must
give especial attention to its selection.
All bicycle corsets should be cut very

There is no doubt that the coming sum

especially among women Of fashion, and

Whipcords, cheViOts, brilliantines and cor

people than the English hat, and at the

eyes. Bicycle caps seem to have entirely

The sweater is worn by enthusiastic
cyclists, and there are many new de-

OF them are made with a blouse effect
which is rather prettier for the purpose
