Gle craze and the new woman and ac-
cordingly she has had written what is
termed 'cycle comedy"-in other words
q comedy where the heroine is largely III
terest6 in the promotion of cycling and
In which the public are treated to an
unique expression OF the current craze
which concerns the new woman and her
mania for wheeling. There is no joiner

same Nellie McHenry, and it would be
dull comedy indeed which her talents
would not brighten to an extent that 1t
would make it enjoyable.

by storage battery. 1t runs upon steel
rails and is handled by All experienced
motcrman. who for several years past has
turned currents on and off on the Brook
Tyr trolley roads. Nothing is more nat
uraI than to see a crowded street car step
in front of ticket brokers' office for se'-
