LEGGINS ARE A BOTHER
But Women Who Ride Bicycles Must
Wear Them.

But Women Who Ride Bicycles Must
Wear Them.
From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
1t Is no longer the length Of the skirt the
style of coat, or even a question of
blcomers. But now 1t is leggins, and 1t is
safe to say there is not a woman bicycle
rider In Chicago who does not hate the
very sight Of pair of the hideous, clumsy
hot, troublesome things. But she dons
them just the same, and wears them duti-
fully.
Men don't know how much trouble wo-
men have. They are inclined to think
because their wives and sisters 20 to
matlnees while they are earning the bread
and butter for the family the women have
the easy end Of lifes burdens. But they
never had to wear heavy pair of woollen
bicycle leggins. fourteen buttons high. on
a hot day, or they would understand diff
ferently.
What makes them do it? Nobody knows.
Men-at least most all men-say it is silly
ard useless. But they" do it. and that
settles it.
Oh. If some one would only capture that
bugbear they" and hang him or them or
1t, whatever 1t Is, as high as Hannah, what
tranquil, beautiful world this would
be. For they does make towards of us
all. "a 10
The manufacturer is helping out on the
question as well as he can. There are at
least dozen styles and kinds of leggins
IN the market That they are all about
equally grewsome is perhaps the fault of
the extraneous article itself, and not of the
designer.
One of the innovations OF the season IA
the high bicycle SHOE made usually Of a
combination of cloth and leather. Occa-
sionally they are entirely leather. But the
appearance they give to the most sylph-
like extremities Is something depressing
The squaws in Buffalo Bits show come
out riding astride the horses their media |
extremit1eS swathed in blankets A pajr
OF those bright-colored bicycle boots on
a stout woman at a short distance has a
similar appearance.
Besides they act after the manner ~ :,
plaster cast about the ankle, hamperinx
materially the free movement. The leggins
are much better in this respect "a the
only strain comes from the strap under tho
1oot, which acts as a pivot, the back and
front being free.
A woman needs to be something of a
contortlonist to button the leggins up the
side. Then, If she happens to walk beside
her wheel Tor a moment, the peryerse
pedal Is likely to catch underneath a but
ton and rip the whole thing open from bot
tom to top-and button hook miles away.
In ieggins a woman can take her choice
OF leather, stockinet, cloth or cotton can
vas. They are all hot and uncomfortable.
But as 1t seems not to be a case of leg
gins or no leggins. it must perforce be
only a question of what kind Of leggins.
some clever girls have hit on the device
OF sewing buttons on their stockings to
simulate leggins. This Is something Of a
deception, but 1t Is a harmless one. and
as the average person-men more espe-
ciaIly-rarely observes in detail the ruse
generally works admirably.
