are really decided about knickerbockers.
The other morning there were two girl cy-
clists on the platform # a country station.
One wore short skirt, the other knicker-

latter looking conspicuous and far from
graceful. She could not even walk about
without initiating masculine swagger and
thrusting her hands in her pockets She
was not an impressive figure, all her feml-
ninity having disappeared.
There is a skirt which English women
are weaIil g for cycling which gives per-
feet freedom and makes life on wheels
worth living. The peculiarity of this skirt
is the clever Introduction of a wide trou-

From the New York World
The Austrians take no chances with their
BARRIERS They must be good, and the
BARRIERS and Wigmakers' Union of Vienna
sees to it that G-~5 are. Provision is also
made in their code for women BARRIERS who
desire to carry on the business of their
husbands in case of the latters death or
illness.
But in order to do this the wife must
have been enrolled in the union as an ap-
prentice for three years. Apprentices, by
the rules Of the union, must appear in
Vienna in the presence of judges of the
union and show their skill before they are
allowed to open shops of their own
A properly, certified barber must have a
knowledge of and pass an examination in
shaving. hair-cutting, hafr-curling and wig
king, and during the period before the
issuance Of a certificate the poor and others
who are frugal serve as subjects for ex-
pertinent.
At the examination the young men have
their raZors dulled by four strokes in a
pine plank, land they must then sharpen
them. A subject is assigned to each. who
must be tonsorially perfect in the opinion
of the judges when the apprentice has re-
leased him.
After this q certificate Is issued and the
apprentice serves two years as q journey
man before he may open a shop as an en-
ployer. The average age of apprentices
when they begin to learn their trade is
thirteen years.

couldn't make out. but that the sparrow
felt himself to be the cock of the walk was
sure thing. He fitted and firted about
the cat, nipping and swapping at judicious
| intervals, and made the fur fly more than
once. But the cat was hungry. She did
