Warning Not Needed and The Fall Of .
Whcelman Into Trcnch.
That pulling question Of when it
is proper and when it is not proper for
bicycle riders, unacquainted, to speak
to each other on the road, confronted
man on the Coney Island bicycle path
one day last week, with u curious re-
suit. He was riding along behind two
women, and as he approached the one
in the rear he noticed that the hem OF
her skirt was wrapped around the
guard of the rear wheel of her bicycle.
and that momentarily it was in danger
of catching in the small sprocket wheel
That meant an ugly fall. The man de-
bated for moment whether he would
call the woman's attention to it. He
decided that it was his duty to warn
her of danger just as he would warn
any woman of danger if she were walk
ing along the street. He rode up and
said:
excuse me, madam, but the skirt
Of your dress is wrapped around the
guard of your wheel, and may catch at
any moment"
The woman shrunk back little,
put on a stern face, but softened her
expression as she remarked the polite
tones of the man, and then replied:
II thank you, sir. I knew my gown
looked as if it might catch, but I think
I can get along all right
"It was simply my fear that you
might meet with an accident that
prompted me to speak," said the man.
II thank you very much" was the
only reply, and then the woman and
her companion slowed up and permitted
the man to pass on.
About 100 yards further the park
workmen were putting in a set OF
drinking fountains along the path. They
had dug a trench on each side of the
path, leaving only space of about three
feet in the center through which the
bicyclists might pass. The man had
gone about so yards beyond the trench
when he heard an urcbin cry:
"Hey, Billy. Look at de lady fell
down the holes"
The man stopped and dismounted
Beside one Of the trenches there lay q
wheel, but it's rider could not be seen
A dozen men rushed to the spot. II
was the woman who had been warned
by the man. They got her out of the
trench without difficulty, and led hen
to q bench just as the man who had
called her attention three minutes be-
fore to her danger came up. When she
saw him she turned her head away
She was not hurt seriously. Her dress
had thrown her because she became
nervous as she approached the danger
Gus crossing, and had shifted in he1
seat, giving her dress more play about
the rear wheel.-N. Y. Sun.

FASHION LETTER.

Something About ''Style," "Gewns and
Manners,'-No Limit In Variety Of Mo
tsrlals, ETC., for summer Toilets.
Especial New York Correspondence
The trite saying that gowns and
manners make the woman" should be
supplemented with another one to the
effect that it is not the gowns which
give her the appearance of ladylike ele-
l.ance so much as the way she wears
them. That Undesirable something
called ''style" is invaluable to the wom-
On who is fortunate enough to possess
it. It is God-given as surely as her dis
position or the color of her eyes. All
cannot attain it though they strive after
It, but most satisfactory results may
follow by not slavishly following every
fashion that prevails. by exercising
taste in the selection of becoming colors
and modes especially adapted to in
dividual requirements, and, above all,
to the details Of the toilet. Every wom-
an has to work out her own salvation
in the art Of dressing herself-for tho
finest and most experienced modiste
cannot aid her in this. She can plan and
select and fit for her patrons, but there
is style-a ''knack' they used to call
it-of putting on ones garments after
they are fashioned.
Fashions are extremely liberal this
vear of '96. There is simply no limit to
the variety of materials, garnitures, COL
ors and styles. Infinite changes may DO
,ung on the possibilities of the summer
gown, which revels in frills and laces,
and every form of daintiness so easily
made attractive and beautiful. Never
since dress became subject of interest
have there been more elegant and artis-
tic trimmings and charming finishing
touches" to the gown, than we have
now. The great liking for waists in con-
trast to the skirt is an old one, but it
continues in popularity for summer
dresses for certain uses, and lace and
chiffon and mouselaine de sole are en-
ployed for this purpose quite as much
aa when the style was new. Embroid-
cred batiste and linen lawn embroider-
les this year make very effective and
pretty waists and sleeves with skirts
of the plain batiste or lawn; in silks
end organizes the elaborate Dresden
patterns are quite passe. the flower de-
vices are the merest boutonniers or
buds in small detached sprays, and not
in spreading branches and large bou-
duets. The inevitable lace garDitures
appear upon toilets made of these silks,
but self trimmings or narrow beaded
gimps or velevt ribbon bands are far
more appropriate, when the dress is
designed to do duty on various occa-
sions.
Charming summer toilets are made Of
Chipa silk in white, green and violet,

the bodice is cut quite low in the neck,
and in this case q square OF chiffon
is laid in soft folds and arranged to
not only drape the neck, but to cover
the shoulders; q narrow gold belt or
rich girdle is at the waist.
Lawn, batiste, dimity, chambray and
French organdies are all in high fashion
at the summer resorts. Many Of the
gowns are made with unlined round
waists, and the full skirts are also I'M
lined, but made with view of wear
ing pretty silk or batiste slips beneath
them. The skirts are gored on the
front and sides, but are full and straight
at the back. One or two nicely made
slips or gored skirts and low-necked
under bodices of silk will do duty for
any number of thin summer gowns,
and these are really much cheaper in
the end than cotton fabrics, as they
do not heap up laundry bills during
the season. Very good qualities Of
white taffeta silk can now be purchased
for so cents a yard. The decided reac-
ton against all heavy interlinings is
constantly increasing. Physicians have
loudly protested against ell the extra
weight that these Innings, added to al
ready heavy and widely-distended
skirts, produce. It was just this state
of things formerly that brought back
the hoop skirt into favor, which, ugly
though it was, and inconvenient, was
certainly All improvement on the heavy
lined voluminous skirts that were far
too weighty for either comfort or
health
Pretty evening dresses Of diaphanous
white material, made with q deep hem,
full breadths, q tucked waist and
sleeves, the tucks alternating with lace
insertions about two inches wide, are
completed by sashes of wide ribbon in
plain satin, lowered silk or in Roman
stripes. Although separate waists by
the dozen are counted among the sum-
mer outfit, being made Of every possible
fabric, from bingham to satin brocade,
still all forthcoming Paris styles are
decidedly against the waist which 10
distinct in contrast to the skirt. # It
differs in material, it must at least have
some affinity with the skirt in the way
of trimming or color. The elegant
combination Of black and white appears
among some of the most elaborate and
elegant toilets worn at fashionable
watering places this summer. An in
stance of these gowns is o model hav-
ing a full gored skirt of white satin,
with bodice of black and white striped
satin, lavishly trimmed with white vc-
netian lace laid over plated black chit
fon. White and cream colored taffeta
silks dotted or striped with black are
trimmed with wide black velvet ribbon,
overlaid with white guipure or Honiton
lace insertion.

You had innocently told me all about
the lace on your bonnets, and for tho
credit of our country, for the sake of
English honesty, I was constrained to
point out your bonnets to that official.
Can you forgive me?"
'No," said Annora.
But Melissa thought that, notwith-
standing his wicked cruelty, there was
something very pleasant in his smile.
II entreat your forgiveness, ladies;
more, humbly ask favor"
"Sir!" exclaimed Annora.
t'Miss Wylie, Miss Annora Wylie"-
the presuming wretch had seen their
names on their luggage, even their
Christian names-"you will confer a
great favor on me if you will tell me
your address,"
Annora Redeemed, Melissa blushed.
Perhaps he was ashamed of the cruel
part he had played and was about to
offer an apology; perhaps their brave
and gentle endurance of misfortune had
touched him; perhaps their charms had
so won upon him that he wished to see
more of them, with view-their sup
positions broke off abruptly.
Annora looked at Melissa and Melissa
looked at Annora. Then the elder sis
ter spoke. 1--WE live at 113 Angelina
Gardens, Edwin square, South Kensing-
ton, S. W.
The stranger made q note Of the adj
dress. Melissa was on the point of ask
ing his name, when he said, abruptly:
"You shall hear from me-" Then no
discoursed on the country through
which they were passing; after which
he buried himself in Figaro and talked
no more. At the next stoppage he said
a brusque "Good morning, ladies'" and
left the compartment, and they saw no
more of him.
There was considerable Of futter
in the heart of Melissa, who was of q
romantic turn of mind, and who could
only imagine one reason why this stran-
ger should want her address. She still
believed that he was a German who
spoke English remarkably well, and she
had seen that he was not a gentleman;
she therefore made up her mind to re-
fuse the offer of marriage which, no
doubt, he would shortly make.
Arrived at Angelina Gardens, tho
Misses Wylie were occupied in arrang-
ing the household, and couple of busy
days were spent by them. On the third
day after their Homecoming they re-
ceived, by the same post, parcel and
a letter. Annora opened the carefully
tied and sealed parcel, while Melissa
read the letter. Having read it once to
herself, she next read it aloud to her
sister:
'Mesdames: felt myself under a very
great obligation to you the other day at
Blandain. am a very thin man, but was
swathed round with hundreds Of yards Of

best way Of drawing the attention Of the

draw it to you. 1t was purely in self-defenso
that directed the raid on your bonnets.
Having been the cause Of the loss Of your

and I beg leave to send you some finer lace
than that which you lost.
