THE BLOOMER GARB MUST GO.

The present season will see the pass
ing of the bloomer costume for women
who ride u wheel. Leading dress
makers have set the seal of their dis
approval on the bloomer costume, ana
therefore it's days are numbered. Al
ready tho fact of the condemnation is
noticeable. Society women have or
dered costumes in which the bloomer
has no part, and the woman Of lesser
note will not be slow in following their
example
Tho first costumer of note to stop
making boomers was Mandy of Paris.
He had taken n firm stand, absolutely
refusing to make bloomcr costume
for any customer, and his arguments
when asked for reasons why he con-
dennis the volumnous bags take this
shape: THE quality of cloth used
makes them unbearable in hot weather
and ii is impossible to keep them clean.
The dirt and dust come in between the
plaits and folds, nccessitatinE incessaAt
brushing, and they never look really
clean, especially when made in dark
rolors. On the wheel they neither i'm
provo bad figure, nor show off good
one. The rider with small limbs end
hips looks ridiculous in them, while
the rider with large hips who takes to
the bicycle to reduce her weight
dressed in boomers, Is a bad advertise
ment for her tailor or dressmater. AMI
the laughing stock of people of good
taste. No woman with good figure
should hide 1t in boomers, and there Is
hardly hrst-class tailor who would
willingly undertake to make them for
figures good or bad"

nARLv NAP OF AMERICA.
Little Known of This Continent When
the Globus Mund; Was Made.

1t was all Italian VINO discovered the
new world. 1t was a second Italian
who, wrestling from the first the epony-
mic glory which was his right, gave his
own name to the newly discovered
lands. What should have been Column
bia became America, because il was
falsely believed that the mainland had
been reached by Amerigo Vespucci
among all modern explorers. 1t is
therefore fitting that an Italian pub
Usher, L. Hoepli of Milan is bringing
out fac-similes of sundry works of
great interest and rarity which bear
upon the question of the naming of our
country. Most important of these is
a little treatise entitled Globus Mundi,
which was published anonymously be-
tween 1905 and 1910 Its authorship is
attributed, though on insufficient au-
thority, to Henricus Lovitus Glarcanus,
geographer and map maker of the
early sixteenth century. 1t is memoir
able as the first book in which the
name America is formally given to the
new continent. The suggestion of this
llctlnS liu llIueGu DetH Uldut III lOUl
by Hylacomylus in his "Cosmographae
lntroductio,' published in Die, in a
passing allusion to "a fourth part of
the world, which, since Amerigo found
it, we may call Amerigo, or America"
But it was the "GIobus Mundi' that
first adopted the suggestion. Another
feature of great interest in the
"Globus" is a map of the eastern hami-
sphere, containing in the left hand cor
rer small fragment of the newly dis
covered continent, which juts out at
about the same longitude as the Cape
of Good Hope This is labeled not
America, but Niuw Welt or new world
The map is especially interesting as
being with the possible exception Of
the Ptolemaeus edition of 1908, the first
that contains America.-New York
World.
